Q1: How much do I need to pay for a Dubai Desert Safari?
Answer: Around 90% of travellers prefer the Evening Desert Safari package in Dubai, which starts from 3 pm to 9–10 pm. Here the basic fare starts from AED 80 per person, inclusive of pick-up, drop-off, dune bashing in a Land Cruiser & BBQ dinner in the camp.

Q2: What other activities can I enjoy in the desert?
Answer: Apart from dune bashing and camp BBQ dinner with dance programs, you can enjoy quad biking, falconry, sandboarding, henna hand painting, & also plan an overnight stay.

Q3: Is desert safari safe for children & senior citizens?
Answer: Dune bashing is safe and done by licensed desert drivers. However, people with motion sickness, back pain, or young kids should either skip the dune bashing tour or choose the gentle-ride option where the driver is instructed to go easy on dunes.

Plus, as most dune bashing tours are conducted before sunset, we always suggest having a light lunch.

Q4: What is included in the BBQ dinner in the Dubai desert camp?

Answer: You will get a wide variety of dinner options in the BBQ dinner during your Dubai Desert Safari package. This includes salads, hummus, pasta, many Indian dishes, along with BBQ kebabs, grilled chicken, chicken curry, and Arabic grills (shawarma-style) at live counters, along with unlimited non-alcoholic drinks.
