Make the most of Dubai
Why go on a Dubai Desert Safari?
The question you should ask instead, is why NOT go for a desert safari in Dubai? You’ll find 50 reasons why you should try out this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Unique desert landscape? Check ✓
Nail-biting adventure activities? Check ✓
All-inclusive experience with meals & entertainment? Check ✓
While this barely scratches the surface, let’s actually convince you to go ahead and book a desert safari in Dubai.
No visit to Dubai is complete without a desert safari. It’s the only way to truly understand and experience the vast range of extraordinary things you can do in Dubai. Step back, head away from the city, and spend your day in the mysterious desert.
How to choose the best desert safari – an easy booking guide?
The most sought-after question: just how do you make a decision to choose the right desert safari? So many factors to consider, from budget and safari type to inclusions, location, and more.
If this question has you baffled, don’t worry, we’ve broken it down into easy-to-consume information and also provided recommended experiences to help you make a quick, informed decision.
Pre-booking [premium vs standard point]
Before we get into the process of how to choose the best desert safari, here are some basics to know about the kind of experiences you are about to encounter.
- You can choose from a morning or evening desert safari.
- Every desert safari includes a list of default activities like dune bashing and a list of add-ons for an additional expense like quad biking.
- Every desert safari you purchase from us includes return transfers, so don’t consider commute as a factor for choosing the right safari.
- Both morning and evening safaris include veg and non-veg buffet meals; however, compared to standard safaris, premium ones have a better selection of drinks, appetizers, and main course dishes.
- Live entertainment is included only in evening desert safaris, not morning safaris
Morning vs evening safari
Deciding between a morning or evening safari is crucial when booking your Dubai desert adventure. Morning safaris offer a thrilling escape with breathtaking sunrises and adventure activities, ideal if you are looking to skip live entertainment and go for just the experience. On the other hand, evening safaris provide a more comprehensive experience with cultural immersion, live entertainment, and a delightful sunset. For a quick, adrenaline-fueled adventure, choose the morning safari. For a more leisurely, immersive experience, the evening safari awaits.
Our recommended morning safari: Sunrise Desert Safari with Picnic Breakfast
Our recommended evening safari: Red Dune Safari with Entertainment & BBQ Dinner
Weather and temperature
Dubai's summer months (May to October) bring hot and dry weather, with temperatures reaching up to 50°C (122°F). During these months, evening safaris are preferable due to cooler desert temperatures, which typically range from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F).
Winter months (October to April) offer pleasant temperatures suitable for both morning and evening safaris. During the day, temperatures range from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), making morning safaris comfortable. Evenings are even cooler, with temperatures dropping to 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), making evening safaris a cozy option to enjoy the desert's beauty under the stars.
Our recommended safari for the summer: Evening Red Dune Desert Safari with Buffet Dinner
Our recommended safari for the winter: Morning Desert Safari with Camel Farm Visit & Sandboarding
Budget
Desert safaris are a popular activity in Dubai, and there is a wide range of prices to choose from. Safaris typically range from AED 60 to AED 2000, with the price depending on the location, duration, activity inclusions, and other services and facilities offered.
Standard safaris (up to AED 200): These safaris are typically 4-6 hours long and include a short dune bashing and camel ride experience, followed by a simple buffet meal.
Recommended experience: Budget-Friendly Evening Desert Safari
Mid-range safaris (AED 200-AED 600): These safaris are typically 6-10 hours long and include a host of adventure activities, such as dune buggy riding, sandboarding, and quad biking. The buffet options are also more widespread.
Recommended experience: 20 Mins Quad Bike, Desert Safari & Entertainment
Premium safaris (AED 600 and above): These safaris are the ultimate desert experiences and offer comfort, luxury, and the opportunity to immerse yourself completely in local bedouin culture. They include all of the activities of the mid-range safaris, as well as wildlife safaris, stargazing, private transfers, and overnight stays.
Recommended experience: Ultra Luxury Desert Safari, Wildlife Tour & Fine Dining
Activities
A desert safari is incomplete without thrilling adventure activities. Standard safaris include dune bashing and camel rides. Depending on your chosen package, you can add quad biking, sandboarding, or dune buggy riding for a fee. Pick activities based on your interests and budget.
Dune bashing and camel rides suit families and groups, while solo travelers, couples, and smaller groups prefer sandboarding, quad biking, and dune buggy rides. Activity durations vary by safari; standard options offer 10-minute quad biking and 15-minute dune bashing, while higher-priced safaris provide 20-30 minutes of quad biking and 40-45 minutes of dune bashing.
Recommended experience for standard activities: Red Dune Safari with Entertainment & BBQ Dinner
Recommended experience for premium activities: Premium Red Dunes Desert Safari in Dubai
Duration
Another interesting factor to consider when looking for the perfect Dubai desert safari is the duration of each experience. Once you decide on whether you want to go for a morning or evening desert safari, you can narrow down on the duration.
Morning safaris typically last between 3-6 hours, usually starting from a 7 am pick-up. Due to the early nature of this experience, once you are done, you’ll have the whole day to explore the city and get through your itinerary.
Since evening safaris are ideal for travelers looking for a complete desert experience, these last longer. You can easily expect to spend your entire evenings in the desert, sometimes up to 9 hours. Typical pick up times are from 3 pm. Consider evening safaris only if you have the time and space in your schedule to experience all activities to the fullest.

I recently visited the Burj Khalifa At The Top + Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo combo, and it was one of the best experiences of my Dubai trip. The combo is excellent value for money, especially if you plan to visit both attractions on the same day. The visit to Burj Khalifa was simply breathtaking. The panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline, the desert, and the Arabian Gulf from the observation deck were unforgettable, particularly during sunset when the city transforms from daylight into a sea of sparkling lights.
After enjoying the views from the world’s tallest building, the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo offered a completely different but equally fascinating experience. Walking through the massive underwater tunnel surrounded by sharks, rays, and thousands of colorful fish was mesmerizing. The Underwater Zoo is well maintained and features a wide variety of marine animals, making it enjoyable for both adults and children.
The attractions are conveniently located inside Dubai Mall, making it easy to explore the mall, dine, or shop between visits. The staff were friendly, the facilities were clean, and the entire experience was well organized. Although there can be queues during peak hours, the experience is worth the wait.
Overall, I highly recommend this combo to anyone visiting Dubai. It combines two of the city’s most iconic attractions into one memorable experience and offers great savings compared to booking separately. I would definitely rate it 5 out of 5 stars and would happily recommend it to friends and family.

My buddy and I got to go on an unforgettable trip into the desert with Kismat from Funtours.
Our guide, Kismat, had the biggest impact on our trip and really made it special.
Throughout the entire trip, he was full of humor and friendliness. He was also consistently professional in planning and managing the trip’s schedule, and he really took care of us in certain situations. For example, he constantly made sure we had cold water with us.
He also did his best to make the dune-bashing experience as enjoyable as possible, picking out the most beautiful spot for the sunset and making the journey there as fun as possible.
In conclusion, I can say that the trip was well worth it and all the activities were a lot of fun, but our real highlight was our guide, Kismat, and we can’t recommend him highly enough.
Greetings to Kismat from Linus and Jannik from Germany.

This was one of the most memorable parts of my Dubai trip. The red dunes were stunning, especially around sunset, and the dune bashing was the perfect mix of exciting and safe. I loved how the experience had both adventure and relaxation: thrilling desert driving, beautiful photo stops, and then a peaceful BBQ dinner under the evening sky. The camp atmosphere felt welcoming, the food was enjoyable, and the whole tour was organized smoothly from pickup to drop-off. It felt like a complete desert experience rather than just one activity, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai for the first time.

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.
