Amazing
We went on this yesterday and was the highlight of our Dubai trip. Our tour guide Muhammd Anjum was just amazing if you do this trip you need to ask for him. He wasn't too pushy he wasn't too quiet he looked after us and made sure we weren't blagged by any of the guys selling anything we seen. His driving was amazing and he was always checking on us to make sure it wasn't too wild. He took amazing pics for us took us to a camel farm we could feed the camels just us. The show itself was great food was great entertainment was great. I highly recommend this tour
Response from the operator: Hi Lee C, Thank you for your feedback. It's our pleasure to drive your around and I'm happy to know you had fun and your trip was great! You guys are amazing.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PRIVATE Red Dune Desert Safari, BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride & Falcon Photo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does PRIVATE Red Dune Desert Safari, BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride & Falcon Photo cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Red Dune Desert Safari, BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride & Falcon Photo 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 Red Dune Desert Safari, BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride & Falcon Photo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Red Dune Desert Safari, BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride & Falcon Photo?
+
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 Red Dune Desert Safari, BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride & Falcon Photo 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 Red Dune Desert Safari, BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride & Falcon Photo?
+
Around 3 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 Red Dune Desert Safari, BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride & Falcon Photo 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.
