Ups & Downs
The Desert Safari had its ups and downs. The dune drive was exciting, with stunning desert views, but unfortunately, our driver seemed annoyed the whole time, which took some of the fun out of it. The first stop was for ATV rides, but if you didn’t want to pay the extra money for that, you were left standing around for about 30-45 minutes, which really took away from the experience. Once we reached the main site, we got a short camel ride (about 5 minutes), which was nice but too brief mostly just for a photo op. On the bright side, the sunset over the desert was incredible, one of the best parts of the trip. The barbecue dinner was amazing—delicious food cooked over open fires, with an authentic vibe. The live orchestra and traditional dancer were a nice touch.

Solid 0/5 rating
The only thing that is good about this safari is the Fireworks show at the camp. Our Driver was a guy called Maqsood. He was the most unwelcoming person i have ever met with during all the times i have been here. First and foremost, He was always using his mobile phone while driving to and from the dunes, we had 2 near misses but all he cared about was watching Horse Racing on his phone while driving on the freeway. Secondly, don’t get conned that this is all about “Adrenaline”, “thrill” or whatever, I swear you can have more of an adrenaline rush while driving on a pothole on the motorway. As an off-roading enthusiast fanatic, if i could rate the driver’s dune driving skill on a scale of 1 to 10, i would give him a solid zero. Thirdly, the driver acted like our presence was disturbing him and like he did not want to talk to us. Fourthly, there was Sand Boarding included in the package, thing that we did not get to do because we were not offered to do so. Even tho it was included in the package as i said before. Fifth, we were asked by some guys at the camp to pay 50 AED (optional) so that we can be seated in the VIP Buffet. Once there, the guy that was distributing the shish kebab was reluctant on serving me more than 2 pieces of grilled drumsticks. Although i am thankful that he did that as the chicken drum was barely 3 inches and was drier than the dunes and was burnt. I really regret going to this safari. I seriously do not recommend.

Evening Desert Safari with dinner
Tour was fabulous! Covered all bases. We got to go dune bashing (amazing fun!), quad biking, camel riding (if you wanted to!), buffet bbq dinner with a fab show and then dune bashing afterwards in the dark! The sunset was magical and Ali was an incredible host to us! Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon and evening!

Sundowner Evening Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Sundowner Evening Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $66 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 Evening Safari 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 Sundowner Evening Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 4 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 Evening Safari?
+
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 Evening Safari 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 Sundowner Evening Safari?
+
Around 1 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 Sundowner Evening Safari 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 Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. 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.

+

+

What languages is Sundowner Evening Safari offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sundowner Evening Safari?
+

Is Sundowner Evening Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
