It was horrible
I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. It felt like a scam but I guess you get what you pay for. The driver seemed lovely to begin with but then became very aggressive and rude at the day went on. The henna lady was lovely hence the reason why this got a 2 star. We asked to be collected from the hotel (an extra charge 100aed was incurred as expected). When we got to the venue they make you pay for “vip” which is totally not worth the hype. Henna is literally only on one finger included in the price. You have to pay and extra 30-40aed for the real deal. The driver then took us to a store where he would eventually get a cut for everything we bought. They made us get down to “re inflate” the tyres and then the driver tell you to enter the shop and you are literally bombarded by men asking you to buy things. The rest of the drive home was a bore and the driver (safari guide) literally does not talk to you at all except when he wants you to get down quickly. We were very disappointed.
Response from the operator: We took aed 100 as we already explained them u have to come on central lizwed location as u booked on by bus but as per guest they said we need the pick from hotel she is we already explained all things u have to pay extra she is agree to pay which one one we collect from her rest she is asking for the vip seating we are not offering until guest don't want as it's charge able because they will get services on table no need to stand on the que but it's not from our side its from guest side if u like othwise no one for sing for this

Good value for money.. minor tweaks it would be great.
Didn't have much communication before the safari, i had to send q message to arrange hotel pick up but driver was courteous and obliged. It takes around 50 minutes to get there from Dubai centre...dune bashing was awesome.. highlight of the trip! :-) when u get to camp there are lots of added extras.. we paid £50 for 4 of us so we didn't mind splurging more for the vip seats.. it means not having to queue for the food and all drinks brought to your table. The food was really good for the price and plenty of it. The kids had free henna and the husband had free shisha.. you have to pay extra for a decent camel ride.. the free one is laughable. The atmosphere was good and the facilities were great.. lots of people trying to sell you stuff though.. even when watching the shows.. a bit annoying but overall great value. We enjoyed the evening out. Thank you
Response from the operator: Dear if u like to any additional which one not included in our packages then u have to pay extra it's same for every tours

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camels, Quad Bike & Refreshments: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camels, Quad Bike & Refreshments cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camels, Quad Bike & Refreshments 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: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camels, Quad Bike & Refreshments worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 9 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: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camels, Quad Bike & Refreshments?
+
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: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camels, Quad Bike & Refreshments 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: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camels, Quad Bike & Refreshments?
+
Around 3 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: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camels, Quad Bike & Refreshments 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.
