Traveler reviews
4 verified traveler reviews for Dubai Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Worth USD 10, but it can easily turn into USD 50 on site
Overall, this was a good excursion. The key thing to know is that the base price on Tripadvisor/Viator is very low (around USD 10), but once you are on site, additional items and upgrades are offered for extra money every few minutes (scarf for USD 15, photo with an animal for USD 5, camel ride, quad bike, VIP dining area, drinks other than water, etc.). The sales approach is also quite pushy, and staff keep trying to sell you things even after a clear “no.” That said, we did drive through the dunes, had time to take photos, and in the evening we got a good show and dinner. If you are comfortable saying “no” consistently and walking away from the sellers, it can be an excellent deal for the price. In my group, most people ended up spending a total of USD 30 to 50.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner 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 Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 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 Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & 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 Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner 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 Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner?
+
Around 1 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 Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & 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 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.
What is included in Dubai Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner?
+

Not included: Alcoholic Beverages; and VIP Sitting Area (can be availed with guide’s help). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Dubai Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1090 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Dubai Premium Desert Safari – Red Dunes, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, Hindi and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
