About this experience
Get the best with us !Sit back & enjoy the thrill & adrenaline when we drive through the untamed desert in our 4 WD, driven by our professional and well-trained safari marshals. Click your memories when we stop for photo ops in the highest dune & try the sand boarding at the same time. As the sunsets we drive ahead to our local Bedouin campsite where you can enjoy riding the camel & get yourself a henna tattoo as we set in for the evening ahead with some lively performance by the Sufi Master-the Tanura performer, the show stopper–The fire blower and the mover and shaker–The Belly Dancer along with some lip-smacking dinner with freshly prepared barbeques along with the soothing Arabic music in the back ground. Try the local hubbly bubbly (Shisha) which is offered with different flavors to match you taste buds. You can get your name embossed in a sand bottle by the sand artist at an extra cost before we head back to drop you off with lots of memories to cherish with for a life time

Dessert safari with QAASIM
The dessert safari was one of a kind!!!. The whole trip from pickup to drop off was perfectly planned. Our driver Qaasim, was knowledgeable and gave us a peek into Dubais’s history and culture. Everything they had to offer from the dune bashing, camel ride and dinner was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to our friends and family.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Qassim. Thank you for recommending us ! Appreciated

Safari Tour💫💫💫
Hello, today I am giving feedback on the safari tour in Dubai with Akbar💫💫💫 It was a great experience. I'm glad I did the safari tour with Akbar. My mum and I were able to focus on the ride and we trusted Akbar completely with how he was driving. He even did a photoshoot of the two of us with his own cell phone. Then we drove to the camp, had dinner and watched a great show, it was wonderful😍. I then had a henna painting drawn on my hand, it was also very beautiful and lasted more than 1 week. When the evening was over we could ride the camel and take nice pictures and videos. This tour was a complete success 👍👍👍👍👍 always happy.
Response from the operator: Hi Lilia Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We as a company are always happy to read positive reviews from our valuable clients who are completely satisfied with our services. Akbar is one among the best we have and we are glad he made you experience memorable with us. Thank you once again for the time take to review us on Viator,

Dubai safari review
Every part of this experience is worth it, it is different and attractive at the same time. The dune ride is thrilling and the quietness of the dessert gives you a feeling of peace. Our driver was very good, he made the experience even more enjoyable with his driving skills and friendly attitude.
Response from the operator: Hi Ciora Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. Highly appreciate the time taken to rate us and review us. We look forward seeing you again

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Red Dune Evening Desert Safari with Sandbashing and BBQ Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Red Dune Evening Desert Safari with Sandbashing and BBQ Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Red Dune Evening Desert Safari with Sandbashing and BBQ Dinner 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 Red Dune Evening Desert Safari with Sandbashing and BBQ Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 94 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 Red Dune Evening Desert Safari with Sandbashing and BBQ Dinner?
+
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 Red Dune Evening Desert Safari with Sandbashing and BBQ Dinner 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 Red Dune Evening Desert Safari with Sandbashing and BBQ Dinner?
+
Around 33 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 Red Dune Evening Desert Safari with Sandbashing and BBQ Dinner 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.
