    High dune safari - Dubai

    Terrible and scam alert. Do not have expectations or you will be disappointed. Unfortunately a lot of hidden fees and misinformation. The quad ride is in small closed up area in the desert and NOT the free area. Bbq buffet is very low quality.

    High Dune Safari -TERIBLE

    This service was beyond TERIBLE, The event started with the driver wanting to pick us up 1.5hrs before scheduled time. Once we got that straight we headed to the 1st stop, ATV and Sand Bashing, once we arrived we were told to purchase scarf's, OK understandably seeing we didn't bring our our, then we were bombarded with people trying to sell us a package for the ATV' and Sand Bashing. Now that would have not been an issue if we were not told everything was included. Then we're off to the second stop the actual camel ride, Belly Dancing, Picture takening as well as a BBQ dinner. The driver took us to a point where we were ask to exit the vehicle and wait for the one that could actually drive in the Sand, mind you it's 6:30, dark and cold, we waited 40 minutes and by time we actually got to the location the events had already started. The camel ride was free, the pictures were some worn clothing that you had to take your oun photo with your phone the belly dancing was fine but the food was TERIBLE. I beleive everyone was disappointed, not only the people in my group, dancing was still happening and people were leaving. I believe the food was the final straw. Now we're back to waiting in the cold desert for a vehicle to take us back to the transport vehicle that couldn't drive up the desert in the begining. Now with all of this said the transport driver said this was his 1st event with this company they are called daily as drivers and never know what company or event they will be assigned. In Closing, I would NOT recommend HIGH DUNE SAFARI to ANYONE!!!

    High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding BBQ Dinner: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.

    How much does High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding BBQ Dinner cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 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 High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding 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 High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding BBQ Dinner worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 28 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 High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding 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 High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding 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 High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding BBQ Dinner?

    +

    Around 10 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 High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding 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 High Red Dunes Thrilling Desert Safari Sand Boarding BBQ Dinner?

    +

    Included: Sand Boarding; A hotel pickup & dropoff is included from any hotel/residential building in Dubais central; 4x4 Pick & Drop; Camel Ride; and Tanura dance show. Not included: Alcohol Drinks; and Pickup & Drooff from out side the central dubai locations available( extra charges will ap. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
