What you'll see and do
Dubai
Your Dubai Desert Safari with Quad Biking starts with a hotel pickup in a shared 4x4 Land Cruiser (upgrade to private transfer available). Relax during the 45–60 minute drive as you leave behind the glittering Dubai skyline and luxury resorts, heading toward the famous Lahbab Red Dunes. This region is one of the best spots for a sunset desert safari in Dubai, offering stunning views and the start of your desert adventure.

Lahbab
Once you reach the Lahbab Desert meeting point, the excitement begins. Take a short break to freshen up in the restroom facilities while your guide prepares the 4x4 for dune driving. This package already includes an adventurous quad biking session in Dubai, where you’ll ride a powerful all-terrain vehicle (ATV) across the towering red sand dunes. It’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and Instagram-worthy desert photos. If you want even more thrill, you can upgrade to a self-drive dune buggy at this stop. Pre-booking is highly recommended, as buggies are extremely popular and often sell out. Whether you stick with the included quad bike ride or upgrade, this stop guarantees unforgettable desert adventure moments.

Al Madam
Next, get ready for dune bashing in Dubai’s red sand desert, as your expert driver takes the 4x4 up and down steep dunes for a thrilling rollercoaster-style ride. After the excitement, try sandboarding on golden desert slopes, a fun activity suitable for both kids and adults. You’ll also enjoy a short camel ride in the Dubai desert, the most traditional way to experience the Arabian sands. As the sun sets, the desert glows with shades of gold and red, making it the best time for sunset desert photography. If falcon photography is included in your package, you’ll get the chance to pose with this majestic bird; if not, it’s available on-site for a small fee.

Dubai
After the activities, continue to a 5-star Bedouin-style desert camp in Dubai. Be welcomed with Arabic coffee, fresh dates, and snacks before exploring cultural highlights such as henna painting, flavored shisha in a lounge area, and dressing in traditional Emirati attire for photos. Try another short camel ride around the camp area or simply relax in majlis-style seating under the starlit desert sky. Dinner is a highlight of the evening — a lavish Arabic BBQ buffet in the Dubai desert, offering vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, fresh salads, and Arabic sweets. To finish your night, enjoy live desert entertainment shows, including belly dance, Tanoura folk dance, and fire performances. Afterward, your driver will drop you back at your hotel, completing your unforgettable Dubai Desert Safari with Quad Bikes, Camel Ride, and BBQ Dinner.

Look for Other Company, Not this company.
The trip i purchased was all Inclusive. But it was not all Inclusive. Here are all extra pays (these were supposed to be all Inclusive, Keep that mind) 1. ATV, No, not all Inclusive, only fenced area. If you want to drive to the desert, you have to pay extra 200UAE per person 2. Drinks, No. Not all Inclusive, only water, 7up, hot tea and coffee.. all other drinks you must pay for. 3. Food. No, NOT all Inclusive. They provided you with small not many food buffet inclusive. So you can pay Extra for VIP food 50 UAE per person. 4. Hookah, No, Not Inclusive. You have to pay extra for it. 5. Hanna Paint. No, Not all Inclusive. You must pay 50 UAE to get one. The whole trip makes me feel such a scam. SCAM, YES I SAID IT..SCAM..SUCH A WASTED OF MONEY. I gave 2 stars because of the Driver, he was a great driver. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. In 2023, i booked same tour with other company, it was in fact all Inclusive and much better.

Dubai Desert Safari with Quad Biking, Dune Bashing & BBQ Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Desert Safari with Quad Biking, Dune Bashing & BBQ Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $94 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 Quad Biking, Dune Bashing & BBQ Dinner 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 Quad Biking, Dune Bashing & BBQ Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 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 Quad Biking, Dune Bashing & BBQ Dinner?
+
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 Quad Biking, Dune Bashing & BBQ Dinner 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 Quad Biking, Dune Bashing & BBQ Dinner?
+
Around 12 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 Quad Biking, Dune Bashing & BBQ Dinner 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.
