We enjoyed the show today everything is soo good

Never again with this provider!!!
The driver arrived at the meeting point on time and was very friendly. His car was very clean, the ride with him was great fun and he drove safely. But that was about it for the lovely tour. Afterwards we came to a camp where you had to pay extra if you didn't want to sit on plastic chairs. The same goes for drinks from cans. You could also opt for free drinks but I wouldn't recommend them as the container was not clean and the Pepsi in it was mixed with ice cubes. The food was awful but you could also get better food for a VIP fee!!! Never again with this provider!!! We left without food or drinks beforehand and without watching the show!!!
Response from the operator: Dear Alexander, Thank you so much for your feedback. I apologize for the unpleasant experience you had. I will try to investigate the issue so that it will be addressed by the concerned staff. As we do not have direct control in the campsite, what I can do is to highlight the same so that these kind of actions will be rectified. As far as soft drinks are concerned, I know they are served in can at the counter, the same with the water. Food at the VIP table are the same in the buffet. The only difference is that, with the VIP, they are being served first, and the staff will do it for the guest. There are dedicated staff to serve them. Thank you for your time. Regards

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Premium Red Dunes Safari with BBQ dinner and Camel Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Premium Red Dunes Safari with BBQ dinner and Camel Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $52 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 Red Dunes Safari with BBQ dinner and Camel Ride 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 Red Dunes Safari with BBQ dinner and Camel Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 77 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 Premium Red Dunes Safari with BBQ dinner and Camel Ride?
+
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 Red Dunes Safari with BBQ dinner and Camel Ride 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 Red Dunes Safari with BBQ dinner and Camel Ride?
+
Around 27 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 Red Dunes Safari with BBQ dinner and Camel Ride 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.
