About this experience

The endless desert is the best fun when you get to ride over the golden sands with your very own desert safari Dubai expert. Don’t miss taking selfies with the endless desert in the background as you make your way to the camp. Here you can enjoy the flavorful Arabic Gahwa and dates with unlimited soft drinks to quench your thirst. Entertainment is a must have in Dubai, hence the traditional tanura show and belly dancing to add a charm to the romantic evening. Most guests enjoy being dressed in traditional attire and having a henna tattoo for those souvenir clicks.

MUST BOOK!! ASK FOR AMJID ALI!!

I had the most epic time on the desert safari tour with RAH Tours! My tour guide Amjid Ali was incredible and made me laugh the entire time!! He made the experience so much fun while riding through the dunes. He went out of his way to make the experience absolutely perfect! I only had 24 hours in Dubai and because of this tour I absolutely have to go back!! Safety is at the forefront of my travels as a solo female traveler and I have never felt safer in any country because of my tour with Amjid and RAH Tours. I have no words to describe their hospitality, communication and promptness with the tour. Not to mention the amazing photos he took to remember my time!! 10/10 would recommend this company and especially Amjid when you visit the UAE!!

Pick your own adventure

The dune bashing and sand boarding were great. The food was mediocre and they push you into taking the vip seating (extra cost) to get better access to the food. The coffee and drinks at the camp were honestly awful. The shows were pretty decent but nothing to write home about. If you want pictures with a falcon i would recommend finding someone with a bird whilst on the dunes.

A different day

The best part was our driver Mr Maqsood. Totaly crazy and safe :) Thank you for the experience. The dinner could be better, but was a nice experience, in the Vip area.

Poor customer service skills

Overall we had a great time. I would suggest everyone in your party book as a group. 1 of my people were unable to go and no refund was offered. I discussed this prior to our arrival that there were 4 in my party and someone booked alone I was told too explain to the driver once he arrived the situation and there should be no problem.. I spoke to this arrogant man over the phone he was not trying to let me talk not sure what his culture is but being a black American woman you will listen to what I have to say, he listen with no resolve and ended up hanging up on me.

Dubai Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, Belly Dancing and sandboarding: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.

How much does Dubai Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, Belly Dancing and sandboarding cost?

+

Prices start at $95 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 With BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, Belly Dancing and sandboarding 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 With BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, Belly Dancing and sandboarding worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 14 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 With BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, Belly Dancing and sandboarding?

+

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 With BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, Belly Dancing and sandboarding 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 With BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, Belly Dancing and sandboarding?

+

Around 5 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 With BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, Belly Dancing and sandboarding 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.
