6hr desert safari experience
We just enjoyed the 6hr desert safari excursion with our guide Ali Dogar. Ali was on time for our hotel pick up and kept in touch via WhatsApp. Our family really enjoyed the experience, the dune bashing was lots of fun and the sand boarding. Ali was friendly and pointed out some local sights when travelling in the vehicle. The vehicle itself was really clean and comfortable albeit a little cramped with total of 8 people. Ali was very kind to take family pictures of us throughout the day so we were all in the pictures. We loved the evening shows and the food was very nice and lots of choice. Thank you Siyyad Khan Tourism & Ali

Average Desert Safari – Beware of Extra Charges
The experience was only average. Be aware that almost every little extra costs money. The quad biking advertised in the headline is not included in the price and has to be paid for separately. Be careful in the desert, as even photos with falcons come at an additional cost. My advice: Always ask beforehand whether something costs extra to avoid unpleasant surprises. The driver was reasonably helpful, but his effort and service were only average. Overall, a mediocre experience with too many additional charges and not enough transparency about what is included in the price.
Response from the operator: We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. However, we would like to respectfully clarify a few points regarding your concerns. Quad Biking: The quad biking mentioned in our headline was indeed included in your package. We provided you with a free single quad bike as part of your booking at no extra cost. You chose to upgrade to a double quad for the open desert and booked that yourself directly at the counter. This was your own choice and a separate paid booking. This information is clearly written in English in our communication with you. The included quad was provided exactly as advertised. Falcon Photos: Falcon photos are not included in our package. This is an optional service offered by local providers in the desert, and any charge for it is theirs, not ours. We have no control over their pricing. Transparency: All inclusions are clearly stated in English in the booking details. We always advise our guests to ask beforehand about anything optional so there are no surprises. We hope this clears up both points, and we appreciate your understanding. Thank you again for your feedback. Warm regards, The Team at SKT - Siyyad Khan Tourism

Desert Safari and Dubai Private City Tour
Hi Nazia I'd thought I would provide some feedback on my 3 experiences with your tour company. Firstly, all 3 drivers were fantastic and professional. The safari experience was amazing with Hamza, he is very knowledgeable and a very experienced driver on the dunes. The overall experience at the camp was top class, from the food, camel and falcon experience to the amazing food and entertainment. Today on my city tour with Raja we had many laughs, he is very good at what he does, nothing was too hard for him. Both myself and my son would like to thank you for everything you have done for us. Wishing you and your family good help and God bless you all. Thank you once again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this heartfelt and generous feedback. It truly means a lot to us that you took the time to share your experience across all three tours.We're so glad Hamza made your safari experience so memorable with his knowledge and skill on the dunes, and that the camp from the food to the camel and falcon experiences felt top class. It's also wonderful to hear that Raja brought so much laughter to your city tour and made everything feel easy.We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to both Hamza and Raja, and to the wider team as well. Your warm wishes mean a great deal to all of us.Thank you again for choosing us it would be our pleasure to welcome you and your son back for more memorable moments in the future. Warm regards, The Team at SKT - Siyyad Khan Tourism

Why this scores 94
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Premium Evening Desert Safari Dubai - 6hr with BBQ Dinner & Shows: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Premium Evening Desert Safari Dubai - 6hr with BBQ Dinner & Shows cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 Premium Evening Desert Safari Dubai - 6hr with BBQ Dinner & 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 Premium Evening Desert Safari Dubai - 6hr with BBQ Dinner & Shows worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,089 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Premium Evening Desert Safari Dubai - 6hr with BBQ Dinner & 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 Premium Evening Desert Safari Dubai - 6hr with BBQ Dinner & 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 Premium Evening Desert Safari Dubai - 6hr with BBQ Dinner & Shows?
+
Around 381 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 Premium Evening Desert Safari Dubai - 6hr with BBQ Dinner & 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.
