Absolutely!
It was the right choice to have a private car (Land Cruiser V6 4.5) as we have a 4 year old daughter. The driver (forgot the name but he was the unique Sri Lanka origin driver in the fleet) was very nice, kind, helpful, culture talking, excellent driving skills. The experience on the sand dunes was remarkable with a total of 12 cars of the same company. After a camel farm visit, we have reached a private area for Orient Tour guests only, so more private than the other companies where we have seen huge crowd at their theatral area. A falcon show and a short camel ride have followed, a shisha and coffee break, a little shawarma starter. An Egyptian dance, followed by a fire show. After a reasonable dinner, a belly dancer has showed her lithe aptitudes. All the people were nice with no exception. And we had the full moon!
Response from the operator: Dear fabrizio c Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback about your Private Desert Safari you recently joined with us. It was a pleasure having you with us.

We did not expect to join hundreds...
<p>We did not expect to join hundreds of other vehicles on our trip! The visit to the camel farm was interesting and dune bashing OK.<br/> The "Bedouin camp" was disappointing as was the food - very ordinary. <br/> There were a lot of people there and only four camels for a short ride.<br/> Entertainment just OK<br/> The worst part was the accommodation - just 2 man tents in the middle of the arena, very uncomfortable thin mattresses and old sleeping bags with a cushion from the lounge for a pillow! We hardly slept all night and were pleased to get back to our hotel after a VERY ordinary breakfast!</p>
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, We are sorry to hear about you not being fully satisfied with our services and even more sorry to disappoint a customer. Your feedback helps to make us better. Our company values put customer satisfaction as top priority and we are committed to our customers. We look forward to serving you again. Best Regards, Sarah P.

<p>Was well worth paying extra for private vehicle. Broke my wrist quad biking, that hurt. Continued on with the trip, bandaging my wrist (which is now in cast). I took my tripod expecting to get some great sunset shots, I didn't. So don't waste your time dragging your tripod around the world. Food was beautiful. Plenty of choice of drinks. Toilets were clean. There was about 40 people for dinner and we were only couple that stayed over, which was great. Would not want to experience dinner and overnight in peak season when its busy, would spoil the experience.</p>

<p>Great belly dancing. Food was really mediocre for the price. Stayed overnight in the desert but never slept as planes flew over every 2 minutes all night. Obviously in the flight path</p>
Response from the operator: Thanks for your honest feedback. We've contacted our local supplier and we are following up to ensure this does not happen again.

Overnight Dubai Desert Safari in igloo tent with Private 4WD: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Overnight Dubai Desert Safari in igloo tent with Private 4WD cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Overnight Dubai Desert Safari in igloo tent with Private 4WD take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Overnight Dubai Desert Safari in igloo tent with Private 4WD worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 5 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 Overnight Dubai Desert Safari in igloo tent with Private 4WD?
+
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 Overnight Dubai Desert Safari in igloo tent with Private 4WD suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Overnight Dubai Desert Safari in igloo tent with Private 4WD?
+
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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Overnight Dubai Desert Safari in igloo tent with Private 4WD 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.
