Desert Safari!!
My husband and I loved this excursion! Amjad our driver who picked us up from our hotel and drove us to both sites was very polite and friendly! This is deffo worth the money we paid and the time it takes. It’s also best to pay the 50AED for the VIP seating when you get to the camp aswell. Well done RAH Tours :)

would not recomend
The driver was really, really nice and fun and he was definitely the highlight. The Activities in the camp were awful. The "camel ride" was just sitting on a camel for around 30 Seconds and the dune board was broken. I was really looking forward to the dune boarding and there was not even someone there who could help with the broken binding. But the worst was the lady that made the hanna-tattoo. She rushed through with the making and it looks like it has been drawn by a child! Mind me i washed it off immediately but it will stay on for a while. The whole time in the camp people tell you "this is for free" but we already paid for the services by purchasing this experience. And i get the point of selling something but there are certainly other ways to do so.

Sundowner evening
Literally the only reason I didn’t give a higher rating was that over an 8 hour trip we were travelling for 5 of those due to drop offs and pick ups, when we got going with the dunes and the camp it was amazing

Never again with the Viator.com!
Never again with the Viator.com! We had very unsatisfied experience. In the reservation site they promised a lot of included events but then we did not get anything as promised. There was no camel ride included, there was no sandboarding. When we came to the camp place The Royal Eagle it was not royal at all. Firstly they did not know where to put us, they were arguing with our driver, there was no welcome drinks, not henna painting, not even shisha pipe. Open buffet barbecue dinner was not tasty at all, with a little pieces of meat, the Indian family agreed with the opinion. The all service was terrible awful. The only thing that was good was the driver, who was very kind, polite and friendly. He argued with the camp stuff, where to sit as at the table. We were together with an indian family who paid 22€ per person. We were treated the same for 55€ per person. We will not recommend viator.com to anybody. We were overall deeply disappointed and we have a feeling that you robbed us for a great experience with the money paid for the trip. When we told the driver how much we paid and have included, he was in shock. He can confirm what a dissppointing adventure we had. Thank you very much.

Basic tourist trap
Basically, it’s a tourist trap. They try to make you pay more money for extra things, and if you refuse- they act rude. The only good thing was the tour guide/driver. Won’t recommend it to others.

Sundowner Desert Safari and Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Sundowner Desert Safari and 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 Sundowner Desert Safari and 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 Sundowner Desert Safari and Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 26 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 Sundowner Desert Safari and 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 Sundowner Desert Safari and Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sundowner Desert Safari and Dinner?
+
Around 9 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 Sundowner Desert Safari and 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.
