Misleading advertisement on desert safari
So we booked this on another website with "Premium" option which was DOUBLE the price and wrote on the booking to sit near the front. This was ignored. When the Toyota landcruiser turned up there was already two really fat people at the front row, and two tiny seats at the back. I am 6ft 4 inch and my wife is also tall. They said they can not guarantee which seats. I would like to know what is premium about this. I had requested on the booking front seats and they should have replied and advised me that they could not do this. I went with another VIP service who allowed us without sharing anything. The attitude was not helpful and they refused a refund. KArma will get these people back for making a misleading advertisement. NExt time be clear and warn people you will be cramped 7 people into a landcruiser, if I knew it I would not have booked.

Bad one
Fraud company. They just take the money and don’t send the tickets on time. I will suggest everyone not to book from this company. Biggest frauds I have came across.DONT BOOK FROM THIS COMPANY.

Best experience travelling alone as a woman!
As a woman travelling alone, I’ve had the BEST experience with Sheikh! He is super professional and I felt very safe the whole day! First he picked me up at the hotel at the time we agreed, then we drove to the desert, he made a small stop at a store to buy some souvenirs, buy it there! Cheapest place to buy your stuff compared to the malls and souks! He arranged the quad for me to drive and waited for me to come back after half hour there. This was not included in the price as I already knew. Because they have different options.. quad, buggies, but I liked the quad best! I asked people in the group to take pictures and they turned out great, did not need to buy them. Then we went dune bashing! That was a fun experience! Also with this he is very experienced and did not ever put me in any danger! We then left to go to the fire show and belly dancing. We arrived before it got dark, so we were able to pick the best spots! I didn’t do the camel ride because it was too long of a que, and we wouldn’t have had the good spots if I would have waited to sit. I went to the vip section as the seats were a little more comfortable and the food was already there, in the regular area I would have had to wait for another 1,5 hour to get food. So my advice, go to the VIP part for 50dirh pp extra. Worth it! He waited till the crowd left at the end so we would be waiting around. And dropped me at the hotel in the evening. I would advice this to anyone going to Dubai! If you can, do it on a cloudy day! Wear good shoes! And the appropriate clothes! Thank you for the amazing experience! And I hope to see you again!

Top notch desert experience with Farrukh
Farrukh was organised, informative and definitely was a skilled driver in the desert ;-) . Loved the dinner experience with belly dance and fire spitting. Highly recommend this experience. Thanks again!

Standard Desert Safari 4X4 Pickup & Drop with Dinner & Live Shows: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Standard Desert Safari 4X4 Pickup & Drop with Dinner & Live Shows cost?
+
Prices start at $32 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 Standard Desert Safari 4X4 Pickup & Drop with Dinner & Live Shows 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 Standard Desert Safari 4X4 Pickup & Drop with Dinner & Live Shows worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 29 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 Standard Desert Safari 4X4 Pickup & Drop with Dinner & Live Shows?
+
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 Standard Desert Safari 4X4 Pickup & Drop with Dinner & Live Shows 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 Standard Desert Safari 4X4 Pickup & Drop with Dinner & Live Shows?
+
Around 10 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 Standard Desert Safari 4X4 Pickup & Drop with Dinner & Live Shows 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.
