Fabulous camel ride and evening at the Bedouin camp
Trip was well communicated over what's app on our arrival in Dubai ( I had booked the trip from the UK). Pick up was prompt from our hotel with a friendly driver. We have done a camel ride around 10 years ago in Dubai and this was in a different place about an hour's drive out of the city. A lot more commercialised than before and we could see how the tourism has mushroomed in Dubai over the past 10 years. Camel ride was great fun and a decent length. Our guide took LOADS of pics and video with our own phones before, during and at the end of the ride. Camels were in good condition and appeared well cared for. Afterwards we were expecting to go to the camp for the evening dancing and BBQ but there had been a confusion with our booking and our driver thinking we were just for the camel ride. We were quite disappointed, but this was quickly rectified by our driver contacting the company owner. We had a little wait while he came from dune bashing, but everything was sorted for us to go to the camp, no problem at all. We were driven to the camp and had a fantastic evening of dancing, delicious food and attentive hosting. Nothing was too much trouble. I would thoroughly recommend this tour operator for your desert experience. Excellent service, thank you.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback and we are happy you had great experience with our team.

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Red Dunes Desert Safari 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 with BBQ Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 with 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 Dunes Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 431 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 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 with BBQ Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Red Dunes Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner?
+
Around 151 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 Dunes Desert Safari 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.
