AVOID – Extremely Disappointing Experience and Questionable Charging Practices
This was genuinely the worst desert tour I have experienced in Dubai. I did a similar tour several years ago and unfortunately the standard has gone completely downhill. We paid for what was described as a private tour, yet the experience was not genuinely private. The advertised camel ride lasted approximately two minutes, which was incredibly disappointing. The biggest concern was the constant attempt to charge extra for additional activities/services without prices being made clear upfront. This left us feeling pressured and, in my view, the charging practices were completely unacceptable. Customers should be told exactly what is included, what costs extra and the price before being expected to pay. The attitude and disrespectful behaviour we encountered when raising concerns made the experience even worse. This is particularly disappointing in Dubai, where the standard of tourism and hospitality is normally exceptionally high. This experience did not reflect the level of professionalism I have experienced elsewhere in Dubai. Based on what we experienced, I believe these practices deserve closer scrutiny by the appropriate Dubai tourism/consumer authorities. I would strongly recommend booking with a well-established and reputable desert safari operator where the itinerary, private-tour arrangements and all additional charges are clearly confirmed in writing beforehand. Also look carefully at the dates and pattern of reviews rather than relying solely on the overall rating. Based on my experience, I certainly would not recommend this company. Completely disappointing, poor value for money and absolutely not worth it. I wish I had been warned before booking — consider this your warning.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography cost?
+
Prices start at AED 100 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 Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 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 Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography?
+
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 Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography 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 Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography?
+
Included: English-speaking licensed driver; Bottled water; Camel ride experience; Dune bashing (35-45 minutes); and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography offered in?
+
It is offered in Hindi, English and Urdu. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Morning Safari, Sand Boarding, Camel Ride and Photography?
+
