Very cool! Chasing butterflies in a desert oasis. From endless floral carpets to the delicate flutter of wings, Dubai’s Miracle Garden is pure magic. Nature’s masterpiece in the middle of the sand.

It was very easy for using with great user experience. The GUI by using the application is piece of cake and helpful in order to not using papers.

We really liked the information panels downstairs. Knowing how they built it I'm amazed even more. Also we had small baby with us and so we were automatically given fast track priority lane. It really helped us to avoid fussy baby

Polecam. Bilety kupiliłam dla 6 osób przez stronę internetową, szybko i sprawnie, kod QR zamieniłam przed samym wejściem at the top u przemiłej Pani w kasie. W ten dzień na godzinę 15, w tygodniu nie było kolejki. Było przed nami 5 osób. Sprawna organizacja, widoki przepiękne. Na miejscu sklep z pamiątkami, dubajska czekolada, mała kawiarenka, skrzydła do robienia pięknych zdjęć. Obowiązkowe miejsce do odwiedzenia w Dubaju.

The experience was wonderful! I highly recommend it because the staff was very friendly, communicative, and cooperative with us. He gave us good recommendations, helped us with videos and photos, and accommodated our schedule to pick us up from the hotel and drop us off at the hotel. He never rushed us during the entire activity and always made sure that we were all doing well. If I ever return to Dubai, I would book with him again. Highly recommended, and you are guaranteed to have fun and feel safe 👌🏼.

Unforgettable Desert Safari Experience! Our desert safari ride was absolutely amazing, and a huge credit goes to our guide kudrat made the entire experience exceptional. From the moment we started, he was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The dune bashing was thrilling yet safe, and his driving skills were truly impressive. He explained everything clearly, made us feel comfortable, and ensured everyone was enjoying the ride. The sunset views, photo stops, and overall desert atmosphere were breathtaking. His positive attitude and attention to detail turned this safari into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exciting, safe, and unforgettable desert safari. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!

Top things to do in Dubai

Imagine this: towering sand dunes, a roaring 4x4 engine, and you strapped in for a thrilling ride. That's Dune Bashing – a rollercoaster on wheels, where you climb giant peaks and dip into sandy valleys, all at the wheel of an expert driver.

Dune bashing in Dubai: Your booking guide

Dune bashing in Dubai
  • Duration:
    Standard desert safari package: 10 to 15 minutes
    Premium desert safari package: 30 to 40 minutes
  • Seating:
    Expect 4-6 passengers per 4x4 vehicle. This allows everyone a comfortable space while maintaining safe weight distribution for the vehicle.
  • Dune bashing ticket options: 
    Standard vs. Premium: Since dune bashing is included in most desert safari packages, if you are traveling with a big group or family, you may want to opt for a premium desert safari package as they offer a longer duration for the activity and won't burn a hole in the pockets. However, if you are a solo traveler or a couple, a standard safari would allow you to enjoy dune bashing for a shorter duration.
    Morning vs. Evening: Early birds get the worm... or the cool sand and serene sunrise for their dune bash. Ride on virgin slopes in the morning chill. Sunset seekers brace for bolder climbs and fiery landscapes. Chase the sun's glow, engine roaring, under a desert disco ball of stars.
  • Packages vs. Standalone: Why Combo Wins?
    Choosing a desert safari package with dune bashing offers several benefits:
    Convenience: One-stop booking for multiple activities and transportation saves time and hassle.
    Value: Often more affordable than booking them separately, offering better bang for your buck.
    Comprehensive Experience: Go beyond dune bashing and immerse yourself in the desert culture with camel rides, cultural performances, and delicious meals (depending on the package).
  • Adding dune bashing to your adventure: Fear not, even if your package doesn't explicitly mention dune bashing! If you want to include dune bashing as a part of your desert activities, it can be done at the location.
  • Ticket Inclusions: Most packages include transfers, meals (traditional Arabian feasts or BBQs), and other activities like camel riding, sandboarding, or belly dancing.
