Desert Safari
Our desert safari tour was amazing and our tour guide, Waseem made the whole day so much fun. Waseem was punctual and very friendly. Our kids were very comfortable with him and he made sure we were all good after our ATV riding, he provided us with water and took amazing pictures of us throughout the whole tour. We went dune bashing, rode camels and ended the night with a delicious camp dinner. Waseem truly went above and beyond for our family of seven. 100% would recommend this tour with Waseem, it was definitely a memorable part of our vacation.

Must try experience
Recently we had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable desert safari, and it was truly an adventure of a lifetime. From the moment we were picked up, our driver, Athavulla, made the experience even more special. His warm welcome and professionalism set the tone for the entire trip. we enjoyed a peaceful ride on camelback, followed by a visit to a traditional camp where we were treated to unlimited delicious bbq and buffet and entertainment. Especially the fire show was mind blowing. Definitely must try experience with this organisers.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How does Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows compare to similar tours in Dubai?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Dubai, with an Outty Ranking of 76. At $95 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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows 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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $95, above the $69 typical for similar experiences in Dubai.
How much does Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows 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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 58 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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows?
+
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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows 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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows?
+
Around 20 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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows 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 Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows?
+
Included: BBQ Buffet Dinner with Vegetarian & Non-Vegetarian Options; Watch traditional belly dancing; Experience the mesmerizing Tanoura dance; Free Henna Tattoo Painting; and ATV Ride for 30 Minutes by Self Drive. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Buffet Camel Ride and Arabic Shows include hotel pickup?
+

+
