Desert Safari Dubai
Best Adventure Tour with 247 Tourism we did yesterday it was awesome nice driver Bilal done good job with extreme Dune Basing

It was nice but we did not go far...
<p>It was nice but we did not go far enough and stopped for a long time at a commercial station so that the family with children could do quad. You don't feel the authentic landscape and the dinner show is repeated for all the groups, you feel it's a little bit monotonous. But I guess to get something better you need to spend more time and more money ! All in all it was nice, especially to lie in the sand !!</p>

Biggest FLOP of our Dubai trip
We booked and payed this desert safari for 5 people in advance via internet and made a confirmation call afterwards at the agency. The trip should have started between 3-3:30pm. And then the big DISAPPOINTMENT: The driver showed up at 4:05pm. Knowing the sun would go down at around 5:30pm and a drive from Dubai City to the desert of aproximately 45 minutes, would have left very little time for the planned activies where daylight is nessecary. The other problem was, that we booked for five people and the car had only four spots left. This would have been very unsafe for us to go on the highway with someone having no seat belt. Lastly, the car that showed up late was a Toyota family van rather than the 4x4 Jeep as advertised. I would like my money back for a trip that we never went on since it was unsafe, the driver was late, and the car was not as promised.

Adorable experience
I had tried 4x4 Jeep Safari Dubai for one year, and it was really good experience The agent picked me from the hotel morning and returned me back again. The most attracted part of the trip when we stoped in dessert before we arrive the camp, and we spent about 30 to 45 minutes, You have be prepared with camera and it is very nice to have something light to drink and eat. It is highly recommended to go with group or at least with one of favorable funny friend. Don't expect that you will find good quality food in the camp, however it was acceptable but not that much good. Try to take pictures as much as you can especially before the sunset.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience cost?
+
Prices start at AED 50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience?
+
Included: Live entertainment shows; Camel ride (short experience); Unlimited soft drinks, water, tea & coffee; Sandboarding; and BBQ dinner buffet. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1313 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dubai Desert Safari Adventure Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
