Amazing private desert experience with Aman
We had an absolutely wonderful desert experience with Aman. From beginning to end, everything was perfectly organized. Aman arrived right on time to pick us up and provided excellent service throughout the entire experience. We had a fantastic time dune bashing in the 4x4, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The highlight was definitely the private BBQ setup in the desert. Everything had been prepared with great care and attention to detail. The setting was beautiful, intimate and very romantic, exactly what we were looking for as a couple. Aman accompanied us throughout the experience, was attentive, professional and very friendly. We really felt that he wanted us to have the best possible time. Everything was well organized, from the pickup to the desert activities, the private setup and the BBQ. A big thank you to Aman for making this such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Pure Disappointment
Save your money... That was not a premium dessert safari experience, and unfortunatly this company is not the best (as they claim). First they took us to a buggy place - which they did not state was in our package - 45mins there! (Waiting for others to finish thier experience and then paid ridiculous amoumt for a 20min ride)... Sand boarding - 1 board for 6 people! One turn per person - that wasnt fun at all. Camel ride - a 3min loop. The whole experiemce was very rushed and finished very early - 7.40pm??? The buffet was live but it was EMPTY, food was all spicy, not suitable for children! and there was no table service. We wernt offered a hookah. Everyone tries to rip you off - even the falcon guy wanted money for the pictures. And currently here we are - 8.00 - 8.30pm sitting in the middle of nowhere so the driver can fix the air pressure of the tyres.. I need you to rectify this issue, you took triple the price of groupon and in all honesty i wish i did that offer if this is the quality. Even the two girls that were in our group said that it was the worst dessert safari they had been on and they feel very ripped off too (one of them works for emirates airline and has done many safaris). Ajmal (the driver) was the ONLY good thing about the trip. He was very kind and hard working - trying to cover up all the disapointments - took photos of us on the sand dunes. Attached is a screenshot of part of our converstation so the company doesnt deny me reaching out to them afterward - argued with me over multiple weeks and in the end not even a partial refund or anything! - Ali in customer service is great until he sells you the package and awful once you have a complaint...
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your honest feedback regarding your recent safari. We sincerely apologize for the frustrations caused by the wait times and the food variety. Our goal is always to provide a high-end experience, and we regret that we fell short on this occasion. Regarding the tire pressure adjustment, please understand that this is a mandatory safety procedure for all desert safari vehicles before entering or exiting the dunes. This activity takes place at a designated area on the side of the road where all tour operators must stop for safety. Additionally, regarding the pricing, please note that various platforms and online deals may offer different rates depending on the package type. To help us investigate this further, please provide your booking reference number. Best regards, Liezel

Fantastic
Family dessert safari, driver Mr Fazal was very nice. He is a good driver for the dune bashing. It was our first time and we love it. The guide gave us all the informations needed. In the premium package you will get dune bashing, small henna tattoo, short camel ride, unlimited buffet and drinks , premium seating areas . Mr fazal came to check how was the safari going, if you are well taken care of and happy with the service . He is an excellent guide. I recommend going to safari with him.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
VIP Premium Dubai Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboard & BBQ & Shows: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does VIP Premium Dubai Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboard & BBQ & Shows cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Premium Dubai Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboard & BBQ & 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 VIP Premium Dubai Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboard & BBQ & Shows worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 85 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 Premium Dubai Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboard & BBQ & 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 VIP Premium Dubai Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboard & BBQ & Shows 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 Premium Dubai Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboard & BBQ & Shows?
+
Around 30 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 Premium Dubai Safari with Camel Ride, Sandboard & BBQ & 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.
