Everyone wants a good price, and a desert trip is no different. The tricky part is that there are hundreds of safari offers in Dubai, and lots of them look the same online. This guide explains how our desert safari Dubai deals work, what you get at each price and how to tell a fair deal from a bad one.
The AED 65 Safari, Explained
The package most people book is our Desert Safari Deal, now AED 65 per person instead of the usual AED 130. This is the full evening trip, not a shortened one. It includes hotel pickup in a 4x4, dune bashing on the red sand, a camel ride, a BBQ dinner at the desert camp and live shows. Plan for about six hours in total, with drop-off at your hotel at around 9 PM.
If you want a cheap desert safari Dubai trip, it's very hard to beat that. And nothing important is left out: the dinner and the shows are already included. A budget desert safari Dubai trip should still feel like a full evening out, and this one does.
Why Our Prices Are Lower
Guests often ask how a full safari can cost just AED 65. One reason is simple: you're booking with us directly, instead of through a large booking website that adds its own commission. We pass that saving on to you. The dunes, the read more camp and the dinner are all the real thing, so you're not giving anything up.
Pay Nothing Until the Day
One thing guests love is that there's no advance payment at all. Booking on WhatsApp takes around 30 seconds, we confirm your pickup time, and you pay on the day of the tour. Think of it as a desert safari pay on arrival system, so if your plans change, there's no refund to chase.
That might sound like a small thing, but it isn't. Lots of websites ask you to pay everything up front, then make changes hard. We'd rather you pay once you've actually met us.
Other Deals Worth a Look
The AED 65 trip suits most people, but it isn't the only choice. Here's a quick look at our other desert safari Dubai offers.
VIP Desert Safari Deal
The VIP desert safari deal costs AED 100 per person, down from AED 150. You get a premium 4x4 and VIP seats at the camp. Couples and families celebrating something often go for this one.
Safari Plus Quad Bike
If you want to drive yourself, the desert safari with quad bike deal is AED 145 instead of AED 200. You get a quad ride on the dunes, plus dune bashing and the BBQ dinner. For more time on the bike, the Premium Desert Safari at AED 270 includes a 30-minute quad ride with a VIP camp and dinner.

Busy in the evening? The morning safari takes three to four hours, with dune bashing and sandboarding. Our morning desert safari Dubai price is AED 90 per person, and you're back in time for lunch.
Hummer Safari
If you want a bit of a show, our Hummer desert safari Dubai costs AED 150. You ride in a Hummer H2 for a 45-minute dune drive, and it's a lot of fun.

If you have your own 4x4, you can drive straight to the camp. The self drive desert safari price is only AED 40 per person, and parking is free, and the Own Car Desert Safari starts from AED 25. We send the camp location on WhatsApp after you book.
We also run an overnight safari for AED 250 and an Abu Dhabi desert safari for AED 100, if you want something a little different.
How the Evening Goes
The trip starts with a pickup from your hotel in the afternoon, and we confirm the exact time on WhatsApp the day before. The drive out of the city doesn't take long. Once you reach the dunes, the driver lowers the tyre pressure and the dune bashing begins. The car climbs, tilts and slides down the dunes, and it's the part most people talk about later.
Next, you stop on a dune to watch the sun go down. Take your photos, then just enjoy the quiet for a minute. At the camp, there's a camel ride, and then the BBQ dinner is served. After dinner, the live shows begin, and then it's time for the drive back to your hotel.
What to Check Before You Book Any Deal
A low price is only a good deal if the trip is still good. Here are a few things worth asking before you book anywhere:
• Is hotel pickup included, or is it extra?
• How long is the dune bashing?
• Is dinner a real BBQ buffet, or just a snack?
• Which activities at the camp cost extra?
• Do you pay now or on the day?
A good Dubai desert safari offer answers all of these clearly. If the answers are vague, keep looking.
When to Book
October to April is the busiest season, since the evenings are cool and great for sitting out at the camp. Friday and Saturday sell out first, so try to book a few days early. Summer trips still run, and the evening safari is the better choice then.
The trip suits families too. Kids love the camel ride and the shows, and the dune bashing can be gentler if you ask the driver.
