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!

Where to book my Dubai desert safari: online vs on-site booking

When planning your Dubai desert safari, you're presented with various booking options, each with its own set of considerations. The traditional on-site booking method involves coordinating through your hotel or a local operator, ensuring a straightforward process. This entails being picked up from your hotel or a designated meeting point, followed by embarking on your desert adventure.

Alternatively, our online booking platform provides a convenient and efficient alternative. Here are compelling reasons to explore this option:

  1. Diverse selection: On-site bookings may limit your choices to the offerings of a local operator affiliated with your hotel, potentially restricting your options in terms of budget, schedule, or preferred activities. In contrast, our online platform offers a diverse array of options across various budget ranges, allowing you to customize your experience based on your preferences.
  2. Trustworthiness: Having served over 15 million satisfied guests globally, our platform has established a reputation for reliability. Feel free to explore our extensive reviews and testimonials to gain confidence in our services. We also offer 24/7 customer support, ensuring prompt assistance with any inquiries or concerns, a level of assurance that may be lacking when dealing with an unknown local operator through hotel bookings.
  3. Convenience: Why endure the hassle of waiting in long lines at a local operator's office or your hotel reception, sifting through brochures, when you can swiftly review the details of each desert safari online? Save valuable time and secure your preferred experience in under 5 minutes by booking in advance.
  4. Discounts and cashback: One of the most appealing advantages of booking through our platform is the availability of exclusive online-only discounts and cashback offers. By choosing to book online, you can potentially enjoy a 20% reduction in the total booking price and additional cashback ranging from 5% to 10%. This ensures a more affordable and enjoyable desert safari experience compared to settling for local prices or incurring extra expenses for activities.

Find on maps.

Overnight Dubai Desert Safari - Transfers

Reaching the vast desert might seem daunting, but with us, it's a breeze! We offer round-trip transfers on all our safaris, making your journey as comfortable and enjoyable as the adventure itself.

Choose your style:

  • Direct Hotel Pick-up: Relax and let us come to you! We'll pick you up directly from your Dubai hotel at a pre-arranged time, whisking you away to the desert and back again after your safari.
  • Convenient Meeting Points: Prefer a central location? No problem! Choose from several designated pick-up points around the city and hop on board. We'll ensure you arrive and depart at the agreed time.
Overnight Dubai Desert Safari - What to eat?
  • Avoid heavy meals: Opt for something light and easily digestible at least 1-2 hours before your safari. Spicy or greasy food can lead to discomfort during bumpy rides.
  • Skip sugary drinks: Stick to water and avoid sugary beverages that can dehydrate you under the desert sun.
  • Overnight Safaris: Expect a feast! Breakfast buffets with Arabic specialties, picnic lunches for sunset excursions, and candlelit dinners under the stars with delectable local dishes.
Overnight Dubai Desert Safari - What to wear?
  • Wear lightweight, breathable fabrics: Wear long sleeves and pants. Protect yourself from the sun and sand with loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and pants. 
  • Sturdy sneakers or hiking boots are ideal for navigating the uneven terrain and sand. Avoid sandals or flip-flops that can offer little protection.
  • Sand and jewelry don't mix well. Opt for simple, durable accessories that won't get lost or damaged.
  • Travel light. Pack what you need for the day as most desert camp facilities are basic.
Overnight Dubai Desert Safari - Visitor tips
  • Stick with the Group: Don't wander off alone, especially at night. The desert landscape can be disorienting, and safety comes in numbers.
  • Footwear Focus: Wear sturdy shoes with good ankle support for dune bashing and sandboarding. Blisters are no fun in the sand!
  • Respect Wildlife: Keep a safe distance from desert animals, especially snakes and scorpions. If you see one, alert your guide immediately.
  • Listen to Your Guide: Your guide is your desert expert. Heed their instructions and safety advice, especially regarding weather conditions and dune driving.
  • Desert Essentials: Pack a torch (headlamp ideal!), insect repellent, and a basic first-aid kit. Wet wipes and hand sanitizer are lifesavers after sandboarding!
  • Bonus Tip: Download offline maps and essential apps before you go. Google Translate can be a lifesaver for basic communication.
