Exceptional tour company and guide! Amazing day out
We booked the desert safari and bbq with camel ride, shows and quad biking. We booked to have the car to ourselves which if you can afford it makes it more special. However I have personally been in a shared car and it was still very good. We were collected from hotel at the time we were told. Our guide Abdul Majeed from first meet was very polite and professional and made our experience an unforgettable one. His knowledge of the country and his job driving in the desert was excellent. Safety and our comfort was always his priority and his photography skills were a treat as you can see in our photos. For the quad biking we chose the guided tour which I’d recommend over driving in a fenced off area. You see so much more and it’s very enjoyable. The camp where they serve the bbq was laid out around a big staged area. They had several shows including a fire performer and belly dancer. It was an excellent experience overall. If you are unsure about booking this, don’t be. You’ll not be disappointed.
Response from the operator: Dear, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your fantastic experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our Desert Safari and BBQ package, including the camel ride, shows, and quad biking. It's especially heartening to know that the decision to book a private car added that extra special touch to your adventure. We strive to provide a memorable and comfortable experience for all our guests, and we're delighted to learn that Abdul Majeed, your guide, contributed significantly to the success of your trip. We'll be sure to pass on your compliments to him. Your appreciation for the guided quad biking tour is duly noted. We agree that exploring beyond the fenced area adds a unique dimension to the experience, allowing our guests to immerse themselves in the breathtaking desert landscape. Once again, thank you for choosing our services, and we look forward to the opportunity of hosting you again in the future. If you have any friends or family planning a trip, we'd be honored to be recommended by you. Best Regards Desert Explorers Team

Expensive
Only one buggy was provided for the both of us, no sandboarding that was promised, when asked we were told its too far in the dessert to get too. Was charged for a full car for the 2 of us...very expensive, not worth the price.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner Dubai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Private Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner Dubai cost?
+
Prices start at $412 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 Private Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner Dubai 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 Private Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner Dubai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 378 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 Private Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner Dubai?
+
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 Private Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner Dubai 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 Private Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner Dubai?
+
Around 132 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 Private Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner Dubai 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 Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. 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.
