Experience 6-7 hours thrilling adventure, peering into an Arabian culture, packed with non-stop entertainment ending with a sumptuous dinner. Kick-off is an adrenaline-inducing dune bash diving deep into the desert, hitting the high and low planes of the vast surroundings in an exciting 4x4 drive unlike any other you have experienced. Continuing the fun, drop off to a Bedouin campsite dotted with many fun, cultural activities. Get a taste of Arabian hospitality with a welcoming cup of gahwa (Arabic coffee). Sit back and relax with a shisha on the lounge whilst enjoying mesmerizing local entertainment, the famous belly dance, tanoura show and fire show. Take the opportunity to step into the Bedouins’ shoes as you try on local attire, ride a camel or walk along the dunes, get your hands ornamented in traditional henna designs and a unique offering to have a falcon rest on your arm.

Desert Safari Rip-off (Booked Through Expedia)
Booked through Expedia - Most of this tour did not match the description - it was a complete rip-off: - "Dune bashing for 45 minutes" was a 5 minute ride crammed in the 3rd row seat and the driver did not give time to even fasten seatbelts - "Photoshoot with Falcon" was available but only by paying $5 additional - "Camel Ride" was < 1-minute on a camel unless you paid $10 additional for an actual ride - "Sandboarding" was not available at all - Driver refused to pick up at the cruise ship terminal and made us take an $8 taxi ride to the local fish market to be picked up Completely unsatisfied - Expedia should remove this tour and not do business with this tour operator who also does business as "Luxury Adventures" and as "arabiantripsdubai.com" according to the business card provided to us at the event site. The BBQ dinner staff told us that they had over 1,000 people attending (which appeared to be true by the crowd) and encouraged us to pay about $50 additional for "premium seating" and a smaller buffet line.
Response from the operator: Our sincere apologies. We get why you were disappointed and we regret to know that the tour was not up to your expectations. We empathize and we promise something like that will never happen. We would like to welcome you again to please you with the best service.

Unforgettable experience
We suggest this activity to everyone. It was spending our day together with jimshad. He was always chekking with us to make sure we were having fun, the dune bashing was exciting and amazing experience. We like very much all activities in this travel specially the red dunes. Camel ride, henna tattoo, belly dance and food was excellent. I can only recomend this company when traveling to Dubai
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback for Noor Al Hayat Tourism. We would like to welcome you again and again!

Best safari at the best rates
I visited with my family and it was amazing! The guides are very well trained and the shows are super interesting… it’s all inclusive with no extra charge except for the quad bike ride which is optional and not necessary. Iqbal our guide was the best driver and photographer :) thanks for the memorable experience

I will always remember the camel's riding, the wonderful sunset,the delicius dinner. Everything was amazing

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Red Dunes Desert Safari, Sand Board, Camel Ride with BBQ Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Red Dunes Desert Safari, Sand Board, Camel Ride with BBQ Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Dunes Desert Safari, Sand Board, Camel Ride with BBQ Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Dunes Desert Safari, Sand Board, Camel Ride with BBQ Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 71 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 Dunes Desert Safari, Sand Board, Camel Ride with 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 Dunes Desert Safari, Sand Board, Camel Ride with BBQ Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Red Dunes Desert Safari, Sand Board, Camel Ride with BBQ Dinner?
+
Around 25 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Red Dunes Desert Safari, Sand Board, Camel Ride with 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.
