Great and fun desert safari
It is the 3rd time we did desert safari with DXB tours and they are the best company I've experience in Dubai so far. Thanks a lot to our guide Ashan He is such a kind, nice and fun person who explain everything along the way and made this experience even better. First, pickup was on time and the car was clean and comfortable. Then, we did the quad experience and dune bashing and it was fun and very well handled and secured. Ashan stopped to give time to take picture and do some sand boarding. After that, we headed to the camp with nice seating arrangement. The food was good overall (veg and non veg available). The shows were nice. The overall experience was great as usual and we do recommend to use DXB tours for your next desert safari experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that this was your third desert safari with DXB Tours and that we continue to exceed your expectations. It’s fantastic to know that Ahsan made your experience even better with his kindness, fun personality, and detailed explanations. We’re glad you enjoyed the timely pickup, comfortable vehicle, quad biking, dune bashing, sandboarding, and the camp with good food and entertainment. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Evening Desert Safari with Quad Bike, Premium Camp & 5 Live Shows: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Evening Desert Safari with Quad Bike, Premium Camp & 5 Live Shows cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Quad Bike, Premium Camp & 5 Live 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 Quad Bike, Premium Camp & 5 Live Shows worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 661 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Evening Desert Safari with Quad Bike, Premium Camp & 5 Live 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 Quad Bike, Premium Camp & 5 Live 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 Quad Bike, Premium Camp & 5 Live Shows?
+
Around 231 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 Quad Bike, Premium Camp & 5 Live 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 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.
