Bad experience
Got picked up in a 7 seat Land Cruiser. My wife sat in the front and I had to sit in the back seats with 2 other adult men. These back seats are too small for adults and only room enough for children. The drive from hotel to event site was 2.5 hours which took in a stop for fuel, a stop off at a shop were they get you to buy a desert cloth head covering which they wanted £48 for two. This is a ridiculous price. Then camel and quad bike ride was for a very very small circuit route. Everything was geared toward you paying more for longer rides and continually pestered to buy extras. The location of the event didn’t resemble a desert sand dune as we all imagine. The dunes were low and lots of vegetation. A few people tried the sand dune boarding but because the dunes were low it didn’t work and most people didn’t bother. The desert event facility was very poor and food dreadful which included several feral cats roaming and jumping on the table you eat at. The entertainment involved a flame eating performance to house music. We were expecting a traditional Arabic dancing which would have been more appropriate. My daughter on a previous visit did this trip and she had a much better experience but was very disappointing for us.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, especially after your daughter had a more enjoyable visit previously. We understand your concerns regarding seating comfort, travel time, and the optional shopping stop. While our Land Cruisers are standard for desert excursions and designed to accommodate seven passengers, we regret that the seating arrangement was uncomfortable for you. Travel times can vary depending on traffic and pickup locations, and we always aim to minimize delays. Regarding the head coverings and activity upgrades, we strive to offer guests a range of optional experiences—but we never intend for anyone to feel pressured. Your comments will help us ensure our team communicates these options more clearly and respectfully. As for the desert terrain, Dubai’s landscape includes both high dunes and vegetated areas. We select locations that balance accessibility, safety, and scenic value, but we understand this may not have matched your expectations. We’re also sorry to hear the food and entertainment didn’t meet your standards. We offer a mix of traditional and modern performances, including belly dancing, Tanoura, and Ayala, Raqs Sharqi. These are part of our effort to showcase both cultural heritage and vibrant entertainment. We’ll continue to refine our programming to better match guest expectations. We take hygiene and facility standards seriously, and your feedback about the cats has been shared with our operations team for immediate review. With over 200 positive reviews, we’re proud of the experiences we’ve delivered—but we know every guest matters. We appreciate your honesty and will use your feedback to improve. If you’d consider giving us another chance, we’d love the opportunity to provide a more memorable and enjoyable experience. Warm regards, Sunset Desert Safari Team

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai Red Dunes Sunset Desert Safari with BBQ & Quad Bike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Red Dunes Sunset Desert Safari with BBQ & Quad Bike cost?
+
Prices start at $210 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 Red Dunes Sunset Desert Safari with BBQ & Quad Bike 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 Red Dunes Sunset Desert Safari with BBQ & Quad Bike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Red Dunes Sunset Desert Safari with BBQ & Quad Bike?
+
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 Red Dunes Sunset Desert Safari with BBQ & Quad Bike suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Dubai Red Dunes Sunset Desert Safari with BBQ & Quad Bike?
+
Around 2 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 Red Dunes Sunset Desert Safari with BBQ & Quad Bike 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.
