What you'll see and do

  1. At The Top, Burj Khalifa

    The Burj Khalifa is an icon of modern-day Dubai. From observation decks on the world's tallest building, take in breathtaking sights and experience first-hand this modern architectural and engineering marvel. Begin your vertical ascent to the observation deck in a high-speed elevator, travelling up to 10 meters per second. As the doors open, floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide a breathtaking, unobstructed 360-degree view of the city, desert and ocean. Special telescopes offer virtual time-travel images of the city below. You’ll see close-up, real-time views as well as images from the past and the future

    60 minutes here · Admission included

  2. After your visit to the Burj Khalifa, it's time for your safari. A driver will pick you up from your hotel reception, which you will have to make your way back to on your own from Burj Khalifa, and you can relax in an air-conditioned 4x4 as you head to the desert. The first stop is a traditional camel farm; learn about the different types of camels commonly seen in the desert around Dubai. Continue across the desert plains to an encampment, where Arabic coffee and dates await. Get a henna tattoo on your hands or feet, watch a traditional Tanourah folk dance and feast on a delicious barbecue dinner. After dinner, smoke a shisha (Arabic water pipe) if you wish, and watch a live belly-dance performance. Relax under a canopy of stars, before returning to the city.

AMAZING TRIP TO DUBAI

This tour was absolutely amazing. Samad and Ayaz were our tour guides. We had three separate families - two of which had two small children under the ages of eight. Our specific tour guide was Samad and he was AMAZING. Needless to say, the experience itself was other worldly and amazing. The Dune bashing through the desert was smooth, exciting, and yet the right amount of thrill. Samad did an incredible job navigating the vehicle while also ensuring our safety and well-being. Also, he was incredibly accommodating to our children. Not only did he come prepared with items small children need, but he also made sure to fill up on whatever little comforts he thought they would need throughout the day as he got to know them a little bit better. This level of care and service is just superb. We travel a lot, and Samad’s level of service was probably the best we’ve seen to date! I highly recommend this experience with Samad!

Dubai Desert Safari with Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa -: questions travelers ask

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

How does Dubai Desert Safari with Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa - compare to similar tours in Dubai?

+

It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Dubai, with an Outty Ranking of 71. At $105 it sits above the typical similar option ($69), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and couples.

Who is Dubai Desert Safari with Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa - best for?

+

It suits families and couples best, based on its 6-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Is Dubai Desert Safari with Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa - good value?

+

It is a premium pick. It starts at $105, above the $69 typical for similar experiences in Dubai.

How much does Dubai Desert Safari with Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa - cost?

+

Prices start at $105 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 Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa - take?

+

Plan for about 6 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 Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa - worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 31 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 Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa -?

+

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 Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa - suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Dubai Desert Safari with Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa -?

+

Around 11 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Dubai Desert Safari with Burj Khalifa - Ticket Only with No transfer to Burj Khalifa - 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.
