Great experience!
Best part of our Dubai Trip!! Definitely a must do. I brought the Groupon deal which they acknowledged without any issues. Once we reached the site, we upgraded to ride the quad bikes on the desert dunes and also upgraded to VIP seating and buffet. Both upgrades were worth it since we were a family of 12 and the event easily had close to 1000 people. I gave 4/5 star rating as there were only 3 sand boards on site available to use amongst all these people. I would recommend VIP safari to provide few boards for their guests.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
VIP Desert Safari Dubai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How does VIP Desert Safari Dubai compare to similar tours in Dubai?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Dubai, with an Outty Ranking of 73. At $66 it is priced in line with similar options (typically $55). Best for families and couples.
Who is VIP Desert Safari Dubai best for?
+
It suits families and couples best, based on its 6-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is VIP Desert Safari Dubai good value?
+
It is fairly priced. It starts at $66, close to the $55 typical for similar experiences in Dubai.
How much does VIP Desert Safari Dubai 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 VIP Desert Safari Dubai 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 VIP Desert Safari Dubai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 38 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 VIP Desert Safari Dubai?
+
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 VIP Desert Safari Dubai 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 VIP Desert Safari Dubai?
+
Around 13 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 VIP Desert Safari Dubai 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.

+
Included: 2. Sunset photo stop in the desert; 11. Belly Dance Egyptian Lady; 5. Camel Ride; 9. Arabic BBQ & International Buffet Dinner (5 Star); and 10. Tanoura Dance Show. Not included: Quad Bike. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does VIP Desert Safari Dubai include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1255 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is VIP Desert Safari Dubai offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Swedish, Russian, Greek, Filipino, English, Italian, French, Hungarian, Spanish, Czech, Arabic, Japanese, Romanian and Dutch. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+

Is VIP Desert Safari Dubai wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
