About this experience
Your Dubai Desert Safari isn’t just a tour – it’s a complete Arabian adventure crafted with comfort, excitement, and authenticity in mind.

Enjoy the thrill of professional dune bashing, try sandboarding, and capture unforgettable photos at panoramic sunset stops. Your tours also feature camel rides, quad biking, and dune buggies for those who want extra adventure. At camp, relax with a traditional BBQ dinner under the stars, while live cultural shows like Tanoura dance, fire shows, and belly dance create an unforgettable atmosphere. With VIP upgrades, private options, and licensed in-person guides, every traveler can customize the experience to match their style. We combine safety, authenticity, and world-class hospitality – making your desert safari the highlight of your Dubai trip.
