We had such a fun time on...
We had such a fun time on this activity. Our driver Nadeem Ghaffar, picked us up on time and messaged us when he was at our hotel. He then took us to go sand boarding, a camel ride and then driving in the desert. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide and experience.

Unforgettable Experience with Friendly Staff
Communication was very prompt and clear from the travel company and our event host from beginning to end. Pickup was timely from our hotel and the ride was clean and comfortable with our friendly host, Wajahat. Once we arrived to the destination, there were little shops to purchase additional beverages and snacks, head scarves and accessories to enhance the experience and other souvenirs and custom jewelry. Because our youngest son is too young for the ATV we had to upgrade to the four seater dune buggy but it was well worth it and more fun to travel all in one vehicle as a family with young children. They took a professional photo and it is very beautiful keepsake as this experience was a lot of fun and a very special adventure for our family. After riding in the desert for a bit, the driver we were following through the dunes stopped to take several photos of us with our own cell phone, which turned out great. Next, we settled back at the camp area and gathered with others in our group to take a ride out in the car to where the camels were resting. We rode the camels for a short duration but it was nonetheless a very unique and emotional experience for us- once again, they took several wonderful photos of us on the camels. After the camel rides, we did the dune bashing, which my two young boys and husband enjoyed very much but unfortunately, it was too much for my sensitive stomach. I became extremely motion sick and had to be driven back separately to see the nurse. Due to the dizziness, nausea and dehydration, my blood pressure dropped so the nurse gave me ice for my neck and salt water to drink and within 30 minutes, my vitals were back to normal and I felt well enough to complete our day and drive back to the hotel. I cannot thank the staff enough for their kind nature towards our children and their gentle and attentive care and attention towards me when I was feeling very ill. I would highly recommend this experience for anybody visiting Dubai.

Much more than expected!
The best tour ever in our trip in all over the world. Entire tour was very well organized, clean and comfortable. Especially our guide Shihab was by far professional. Even before starting tour, he gave us useful tips for tour and close contact for picking up. Thanks to him, me and my boyfriend decided to come back to Dubai for sure next year !

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Refreshment & Quad Bike Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Refreshment & Quad Bike Option cost?
+
Prices start at $48 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, Camel Ride, Refreshment & Quad Bike Option take?
+
Plan for about 4 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, Camel Ride, Refreshment & Quad Bike Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 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, Camel Ride, Refreshment & Quad Bike Option?
+
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, Camel Ride, Refreshment & Quad Bike Option suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Dubai Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Refreshment & Quad Bike Option?
+
Around 13 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Refreshment & Quad Bike Option 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 Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. 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.
