Booking our desert adventure was very easy despite it being last minute. Customer service was also very helpful with our request. Our tour guide, Mohammad, took care of us very well. We went dune bashing with 2 kids and a senior and he took in mind our preference while making sure we enjoyed the experience. He was very encouraging for all of us to try sandboarding. We all had a blast! He put on music to set the mood in the car and took nice photos at the desert. Camp was clean, lovely food and entertainment. The photographers were too pushy though to sell us photos.

I actually loved the experience in general and it was a good value for money. The dune bashing was very fun and our guide Ismail played some good music and made it fun. Also our guide at the Buggy was great, he took his time, made effort to take cool pictures and videos of us driving and really made sure we were enjoying the experience. However, we didn't like the constant attempts of many vendors to sell us things, sometimes almost forcing us. And also at the end of the camp shows Ismail insisted that everyone gives him a great review on the spot. I hate being forced to give a fake opinion and this is the main reason for my frustration, otherwise we actually enjoyed most of the tour.

Overall, it was excellent; however, the vehicle's interior could have been better. I opted for a shared experience, and the other party arrived quite late, so I had to wait a considerable amount of time for the experience to begin.

Perfect coms with yourselves, Hassan our guide/driver was amazing for the day. Probably my only disappointment was we paid extra to include the sand buggies and we had literally 5 mins if that before we got called back in , to be honest it was a manic 5 minutes , a bad free for all and very dangerous unsupervised part of the day , I had my 14 and 19 year old grandsons with me was worrying. We had no instructions on how to operate the sand buggies. Apart from that it was a thoroughly enjoyable day thanks to yourselves and Hassan.

a very nice experience, the safari in the desert was the best, i think the crossing before the safari to the pool for the motors was a waste of time, our driver was excellent and also the food in the evening was very good and abundant. the only thing that saddened me was the treatment of the camels, they had to walk up and down a few steps for the tourists, such torture of animals should not be accepted.

The guide was a great driver, but he did not speak English or did not like to speak much, so we did not have the chance to interact and understand what the trip was about. It was freat that we did not have to share the car with other people. The bbq dinner was good, but I expected a better environment for it.

Our driver Ameer was great. My mom got car sick and he was super patient. Allowed her to get out of the car, take the rest of the group for the rest of the dunes ride and then returned to her promptly. Very nice.

Overall I liked it. But the camel ride is very short, just for the photo. The boarding was only one launch and they don't give time, it was one after another and you have to get up fast or you will crash with the next one. The food was excellent.

It was very organised. The Tour guide Soni contacted via WhatsApp several times that day and even with an exact pick up time. He was very polite and curtious as I was a solo female traveler. He took pictures for me and always checked in during activities. This was my first tour as a solo traveler and I couldn't have been happier how comfortable Soni made me feel. Great tour highly recommend especially the sand dunes very skilled driver

I highly advise everyone to take the opportunity and buy combined tickets, for example Burj Khalifa + aquarium on the territory of Dubai Mall - it's just fantastic. Everything is in one place, you can first go up to Burj Khalifa 124-125 floors (you have to go up there at exactly the specified time, and you can stay up there - as much as you like), there is a terrace, for more fullness of sensations and better quality photos....Enjoy the view of the city and the sea - you can go for a snack on the top floor of Dubai Mall, where a lot of all kinds of cafes, burger shops, etc. are concentrated. And then watch the aquarium, rainforest, penguins with crocodiles, feed the fish and many other things, no less interesting...you can come to the aquarium at any time, but the only thing is, of course, on the day for which you bought a ticket. I started my tour at six o'clock to get to the observation deck of Burj Khalifa and catch the sunset - it's very beautiful, you have to see, the photo can not convey it... I had 5 hours for all the adventures together with the aquarium. Since the center works until 00:00 hours, no problems, a couple of hours at altitude - rest and a snack - a trip to the aquarium, everything is just super!!!!

The early morning visit was absolutely fantastic! There were hardly any people, which made the experience particularly pleasant - no long waiting times and plenty of peace and quiet to enjoy the view. The sunrise was simply gorgeous - an unforgettable moment with a breathtaking view over Dubai. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Burj Khalifa - it's worth getting up early!

Our evening desert safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. The highlight of the trip was not just the stunning landscape or thrilling activities, but the exceptional service we received from our guide, Ranjit. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The dune bashing was exciting and well-paced, offering both adventure and amazing views of the desert. We also had the chance to try quad biking, which added an extra layer of fun to the evening. At the desert camp, we enjoyed camel rides, henna painting, and sandboarding, followed by a delicious BBQ dinner with plenty of options. The live entertainment—especially the belly dancing and tanoura show—was vibrant and engaging. What really stood out was the thoughtful gesture from Ranjit—he surprised us with a complimentary Red Dunes Desert Safari, which took the entire experience to another level. It was a beautiful, scenic ride through some of the most striking parts of the desert. This safari is a must-do in Dubai, and with a guide like Ranjit, it becomes truly unforgettable.

Clean, modern, and interesting - but huge queues to get in and out (over 2h up, over 1h down) with toilet on wrong side of queue system causing tension when you need to get back to your family. If I'd have known the delays before and after I would have wanted Headout to provide upgrade option as I probably would have bought it to waste less holiday time in the queues.

Well, the view was good and the waiting time was ok. Unfortunately there were too many people on top so that made the experience a bit less. And I expected more of the lifts - a show or something. It's a bit too expensive for what you get. Buying tickets via HeadOut was easy.

The evening was spent outside with the supper , dancing events and fireshow, we liked it a lot, it was really good experience for the first time visit!

Everything was perfectly organized. Syed Najam is a professional, a great driver, very kind and helpful. I recommend paying extra for VIP seats, it's not a big difference in price and it's a much better experience.

Our evening desert safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. The highlight of the trip was not just the stunning landscape or thrilling activities, but the exceptional service we received from our guide, Ranjit. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The dune bashing was exciting and well-paced, offering both adventure and amazing views of the desert. We also had the chance to try quad biking, which added an extra layer of fun to the evening. At the desert camp, we enjoyed camel rides, henna painting, and sandboarding, followed by a delicious BBQ dinner with plenty of options. The live entertainment—especially the belly dancing and tanoura show—was vibrant and engaging. What really stood out was the thoughtful gesture from Ranjit—he surprised us with a complimentary Red Dunes Desert Safari, which took the entire experience to another level. It was a beautiful, scenic ride through some of the most striking parts of the desert. This safari is a must-do in Dubai, and with a guide like Ranjit, it becomes truly unforgettable.

Safari did not meet my expectations. We drove for a very long time just to wait an hour idly for those willing to ride quads (half of the tour was waiting). To ride camels, which were included in the price, you had to wait in a very long queue. In the desert it was hard to take pictures without buildings in the background... out of a six-hour trip, two hours are for attractions. The remaining time is spent driving or waiting in lines.

Desert Rollercoaster with Hassan! Hassan was an absolute legend behind the wheel! His dune driving was like a desert rollercoaster — fast, fun, and totally safe. We were laughing, cheering, and hanging on for dear life (in the best way)! If you want a wild ride and a great time, ask for Hassan. 100% recommended!

We had an amazing desert safari experience thanks to our guide Mr.Syed Ahmed. He was incredibly friendly, made us feel comfortable right away, and shared a lot of interesting insights about the desert. The ride was thrilling but safe, and his knowledge really added to the whole adventure. Highly recommended!

I recently booked a private dessert safari tour with Ahmed. He was amazing at his job. He was very humble and polite. Dune bashing was thrilling as well. He also recommended us to the VIP camp which i think was the best as it included buffet and proper seating area. Overall the tour was amazing and i would do it again with Ahmed. I highly recommend Ahmed if you are looking for a good dessert tour!

Hi there ! Let's start with the negative points : - The duration mentioned was 5h but we finished the activities in about 1:30h - The camel ride took roughly 7mn - The Quad biking activity is held inside a small circle which is good for families with kids... not thrill seekers. There should be a clearer description of the Quad biking activities like what's included or not and the upgrade options so the client won't be surprised when asked to pay 300aed for a ride out of the circle. The positive points : - Good activities for clients who want to have a quick taste of the desert safari and not spend the whole day out. - Ricardo was super friendly yet professional and went out of his way to make sure the experience was a success. - Good value for money if the client doesn't pay any "upgrade" fees. - The dune bashing was entertaining. Will I recommend ? Yes for peolple who want a quick fun activity.

Even though I had a great driver and tour guide, the tour itself was very underwhelming. All the guide did was sit me and 2 other people in his 4x4 land cruiser and just drift around some desert land. When he took us to the camel rides, we found out it was not a ride. We just pose for pictures with the camels. That the actual ride comes at an additional cost. I had quad bike included in my package too, and just like the camel ride, it was mostly to spin the quad bike in circle. The tour guide mentioned that to actual have a camel tour or quad bike tour, this would cost extra hundreds off dollars. No where in headout was this mentioned that the camel and quad bike experience would be just stationary events not actual excursions tours. I actually feel this was poorly advertised and I should get a full refund or partial refund as the tour did not live up to its expectations. Lastly, 1 of the other guests was vomiting during the 4x4 desert tour, as I mentioned before, the 4x4 tour was just mostly going in circles in high speed. Even after all that, I spent an extra money to take pictures with a falcon. At the price I paid for this package, the falcon should have neen included as well as some professional photos. It upsets me that my experience was very underwhelming versus what I had paid for.

Booking our desert adventure was very easy despite it being last minute. Customer service was also very helpful with our request. Our tour guide, Mohammad, took care of us very well. We went dune bashing with 2 kids and a senior and he took in mind our preference while making sure we enjoyed the experience. He was very encouraging for all of us to try sandboarding. We all had a blast! He put on music to set the mood in the car and took nice photos at the desert. Camp was clean, lovely food and entertainment. The photographers were too pushy though to sell us photos.

Desert Rollercoaster with Hassan!
Hassan was an absolute legend behind the wheel! His dune driving was like a desert rollercoaster — fast, fun, and totally safe. We were laughing, cheering, and hanging on for dear life (in the best way)! If you want a wild ride and a great time, ask for Hassan. 100% recommended!

Health/age restrictions
How do you choose the right Dubai desert safari location? Some of the best locations to go for a desert safari are:
1. Al Aweer Desert: about 35 minutes from the heart of the city, Deira City Centre. Find on maps.
2. Lahbab Desert: about 40 minutes from DCC. Find on maps.
3. Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve: about 40 minutes from DCC. Find on maps.
Factors to consider:
1. Activities: outer area locations like Lahbab desert are ideal for adventure activities like sandboarding and quad biking due to the large expanse of sand dunes.
2. Premium vs standard experience: if you are looking for a luxury experience which includes nature safaris, these generally take place at premium locations such as Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.
3. Morning vs evening experience: locations like Al Aweer generally host morning experiences while larger desert locations like Lahbab, Hatta Mountains offer evening experiences to accommodate dining, live entertainment, and even overnight stays.
You might be wondering, considering the far-off location of the different desert safari locations, how would you go about planning your commute back and forth? If you need added incentive to book with us, we offer round-trip return transfers on all our desert safaris. You’ll travel in a comfortable 4x4 air-conditioned vehicle with a local driver who will engage in interesting conversation during your journey. How does this work?
1. Direct pick up: We pick you up directly from your hotel located in Dubai. The driver will arrive at your location at a previously-agreed upon time, and drop you back to the hotel after the safari.
2. Meeting point: Or, we pick you up from one of many common pick-up points in the city. You’ll have the option of choosing a convenient location near you. You’ll be picked up at a previously-agreed upon time and dropped back to the meeting point after the experience.
Morning Safari: Opt for loose, comfortable clothing, such as linen pants and cotton shirts, to protect you from the sun and keep you cool.
Evening Safari: Layer with a sweater or light jacket to combat the cooler desert temperatures.
Accessories: Keep it simple with a hat and sunglasses for a morning safari or a sweater/shawl and a small water bottle for an evening safari.
Shoes: Closed-toe shoes, like sneakers or boots, are recommended to protect your feet from the hot sand and prevent sand from entering during activities like sandboarding and quad-biking.
Since all our desert safaris include full breakfast/lunch or dinner meals, we would recommend you eat light. Maybe a quick snack like cereal, a sandwich, or a smoothie would keep you full until it’s time for your dining experience. Avoid heavy, greasy, or oily meals since you may feel nauseous during activities like dune bashing, which includes lots of movement.
While there’s no health restriction limit for any guest to experience the thrill of a desert safari, adventure activities like dune bashing, quad biking, etc., are not recommended for pregnant women or guests with heart conditions, respiratory conditions, epilepsy, etc. If you have a doubt about your medical condition, it’s best to get advice from your local physician.
Age: the only age restriction on desert safari experiences is for adventure activities. Children under the age of 3 are not permitted to try dune bashing, quad biking, sandboarding, and dune buggy rides.
