The real highlight of the Dubai Desert Safari tour is an exciting, adrenaline-pumping 4×4 drive deep into the desert to explore the vast stretch of the golden dunes by plummeting low in the deep ditches and escalating high on the summit of the dunes. This is followed by a visit to a traditional Arabic Bedouin campsite, which enables you to capture the real essence and beauty of the desert, as you relish traditional Arabic coffee, smoke a flavored shisha, and rivet in mesmerizing belly dance movements and Tanura shows.
On this enjoyable Dubai Desert Safari with BBQ dinner 6-hour evening tour to a Bedouin camp you will stop to take photos of the desert dunes and local falcons. Then, drive across the desert dunes on a thrilling 4WD dune bashing activity. If you are feeling truly adventurous, opt for the high dunes option where the level of the dunes is increased.
Enjoy a panoramic view of the sunset, before going to an authentic Arabic camp.
Experience a traditional Arabic welcome of coffee and dates, and learn more about the culture through multiple activities and entertainments. Relax in the beautiful Bedouin encampment and watch traditional Tanura dance shows, belly dancing, and more. Take a small ride around the Dubai desert safari sands on camel-back. Get a traditional henna painting on your body, or smoke a shisha pipe to get into the spirit of the Arabians. You are invited to put on traditional costumes for a souvenir photo. You can even get a photo taken with a falcon on your shoulder. Then, enjoy a gourmet barbecue of Arabian treats under a canopy of stars.

Combo Tour worth the money, Dubai City Tour and Desert Safari both tours were amazing. We enjoyed with our family. Guides and drivers were very professional
Coming back again for this

Very well planned trip. Pick-up with no delay. Good dynamic, mix of different activities. Very professional guide Naveed. Keep attention however not persuasive. It was fantastic experience.
5
Tour guide from Lahore – Pakistan excellent. Gave us extra time wherever we requested. Made the trip memorable. Thanks.

Abbas was our tour guy , he is on time expert driving on the desert , very important part you will see ! I recommend this tour guy, if my family goes I will ask him to take them !
My experience was amazing an experience of a life time you have to live , beautiful camp and food amazing , show incredible !

Our guide was Momin, very professional and safe driver starting from pick up and continuing to the thrill Sahara dunes ride!
It’s a very clean SUV fitting 6 passengers (excluding the driver). He provided us with water bottles all the time. My 10 year old with daddy and teens had a blast with ATV rides (for a reasonable cost), included sand board rides, camel rides, and the rollercoaster sand rides! Later, Momin drove us to a camp for live shows and a pretty good filling arabic diner (all included). Pack a hat and sunglasses to wear during rides.
If you’re motion sensitive, I’d recommend taking a nausea pill before the ride in dunes (but I was the only one who needed it in the car). Momin stopped the car, bought a cold juice for me and kept the window open, so I was ok.
Since the timing was late afternoon, it wasn’t so hot and we didn’t need sunblock (pick up 2:30pm). Momin took a lot of professional pictures of us which was very nice of him. Also, it’s pretty chilly in the dessert at night, so bring a jacket.
Overall, it’s a private tour experience without waiting for a bus/minivan pick up and our driver/guide was taking care of us at all time. Since it’s a private car, he could park very close to the camp while buses/vans were a very long walk and needed transfers to smaller cars for dunes rides and back.
If you’re into Sahara Safari trip, I strongly recommend booking this tour to save on time, money, and get a pretty good service! The driver talked about Dubai on the way and answered all the questions.

Arrivato in perfetto orario davanti all ‘hotel con la Toyota Land Cruiser con tanto di rollbar interno. Partiamo con un autista esperto. Alla prima sosta ci propongono il giro in quad (extra) e foto col falco (extra). Ognuno fa quello che crede. Poi giro sulle dune di sabbia finissima quasi rossa. Li si è scatenato il rallista che era nel driver. Una buona mezzora di corsa folle sulle dune con derapate al limite del ribaltamento. Poi stop x provare a fare snowboard sulla sabbia e Foto suggestive. Poi sosta x risistemare l auto e noi. La serata prosegue col giro in cammello al tramonto(molto turistico ma ok). Cena buffet vasta e variegata. Bevande analcoliche a volontà allietati da spettacoli di danza del ventre e giocoliere di fuoco e altro. Insomma una piacevole gita fuori dal comune.

Great experience! We decided to do the ATV in the desert that was an extra charge but was definitely worth it. Waheed did an amazing job with his suggestions to make sure we had the best experience. He was very professional and extremely fun at the same time. Definitely recommend
5
Just had Desert Safari with this tour company / operators Saif Co tours . I was not expecting it to be so good as earlier experience with another tour operator was not that great . But to say the least it was fabulous experience , starting from the pick up from our residence . Our guide / driver Mr Abbas was very friendly , cooperative and well informed and well spoken person . From quad bike ride to dune bashing , photography and BBQ dinner along with all the amusement the place had to offer , it was a fantastic experience. Would love to go with the same company again and I strongly recommend Saif Co tours and Mr Abbas to anyone who wants to have fun packed experience . Well done and keep it up !!
5
The tour was amazing and what made it better is our tour guide/driver Noor, he was very accommodating and helpful and very knowledgeable. Drivers book your reservations for the dinner so he made sure we have the best seating and the best camp, convenient, great food, and many more shows to attend
5
My friends and I participated in this tour and it is exactly what it offers. We got a 4×4 ride in the red sand dunes, sand surfed, rode camels, got an optional ATV ride experience in the desert (additional fee) and enjoyed a great camp site which included a buffet dinner and more complimentary activities. Our guide, Abbas was friendly, patient, punctual and phenomenal photographers! We had a great time and would recommend this excursion to all!
5
This activity should be on the top list of anyone visiting Dubaï! Momin, our guide did a wonderful job. Hw was very supportive and He helped us take amazing pictures of our experience and was very flexible. Plus he had the best playlist for the circumstance!
5
I did not imagine that this experience would be so fun, exciting and unforgettable .. Ali was our driver and super punctual when picking us up, he treated us very well in the whole safari, very friendly and noble. All was very good!! And the price is very good because all the activities you do are worth every penny. I highly recommend it and especially with Ali ???? another thing to say is that the cars are very comfortable and practically new so you will always be comfortable. It is a very responsible company. They are 10! Thanks Ali we hope to see you again ???? Pd: this tour is taken by my husband and me. And we are both fascinated and will return one day.
5
We had an absolute blast of a day, on time collection and drop off and a safe good 4×4 vehicle. Our guide and driver Momin was professional and extremely knowledgeable in anything we inquired. Water was available in the car and at our stops. Had a fab time dune bashing in the Land Cruiser and then a stop off at a dune peak for some amazing pictures, Momin took some fab pictures of us. More fun with Sand Boarding and then off to the evening BBQ and entertainment, great food, belly dancing and a fire show before having a camel ride and finally back to the hotel. Highly recommend our guide and the experience, it’s a must do if in Dubai and these guys know what there doing. Thank you.
5
This has been one of the best tours I’ve ever had! And everything was thanks to our driver Waheed Afridi AKA King One More Haha He drove us through the Dunes playing dynamic arabic music that just suited with the Desert Safari, we had so much fun!! I laughed a lot and I also felt safe with him and the rest of the group (Australians and English). I’ll miss you guys , thank you so much for such a nice evening with you all.
I highly recommend this tour and make sure to ask for Waheed so you guys will know what I’m talking about ????

It truly is the best desert safari! Our safari was terrific from beginning to end. There was great communication from the tour company and our driver. Our guide and driver, Ali picked us up at our holiday apartment promptly at the designated time. His 4WD was spotless and very comfortable, seating a total of 6 persons.
There was a dune buggy option before setting off to the desert which we decided not to do.
If you have not been dune bashing in a 4WD, I highly recommend it. Our skilled driver, Ali bashed and ‘surfed’ the sand dunes in our 4WD making it look easy. It was an exciting and enjoyable ride. He was thoughtful and regularly checked to make sure everyone on board was okay.
Sandboarding is also something everyone should try! It was a fantastic and fun experience and even a young child in our group was able to have fun and tackle the dunes.
Ali then took us to watch the sunset over the dunes before taking us to a shared Bedouin camp. Our tour included a delicious buffet dinner, belly dancing show, fire show, henna tattoos, shisha smoking and camel ride.
Thank you, Ali for being such a great tour guide and dune basher! We had a fabulous time and a memorable safari and desert experience. It has been the highlight of our first visit to Dubai.

Trotz der kurzfristigen Buchung war die Kommunikation und Abholung perfekt.
Es war ein wunderschöner und witziger Ausflug!
Unser Guide Abbas war spitze. Er hat uns neben seinem sicheren Fahrverhalten auch sehr viel Informationen rund um die Kultur und das Land preisgegeben. ????
Der Ausflug war gut organisiert und es war für jeden etwas dabei.
Wir würden den Ausflug jederzeit wieder machen und können dies nur weiterempfehlen! ????

Best. Safari. Tour. EVER!!! One of the best experiences I had in Dubai. The driver for the evening Mr. Waheed Afridi was amazing. He made the trip so much fun for my family. I was celebrating my birthday and he helped to make it a great day. If you have the opportunity, you should book this tour and request Mr. Afridi. Worth every penny!!!
5
We had a fantastic afternoon in the desert, first with some dune bashing and then with a wonderful evening at the Bedouin camp. Dinner was great, the show was very enjoyable and we smoked some Shisha and had some henné tattoo.
Our driver ABBAS was the best. He picked us up from the hotel and took us around on the dunes and back home at the end of the evening.
He is also a great tour guide, giving interesting information on Dubai city!
Thank you Abbas!

We had a great Desert safari trip yesterday all thanks to our driver cum tour guide Mr. Waheed Afridi. We enjoyed each moment of the trip the Sand bashing, Belly dance, Fire and Light show was Amazing. Will recommend the trip to everyone with a Confident 5-star rating

A brilliant trip to the red desert – dune bashing and watching the sun go down. Nawaz was a fab host, attentive, friendly and a safe driver. He made sure we were having a good trip, taking care of everything from getting us good seats at the show to taking lots of photos for the group.
We came for the dunes and weren’t expecting much of dinner and the shows, but they were fun too. A simple buffet of fresh salads and BBQ meat, but done well despite it being touristy. Highly recommended

First they texted me an hour in advance to confirm pick up time in my hotel and plus that they arrived on time!
Our guide Naveed was very friendly, attentive, and caring: explaining and giving tips about the city on our way to the desert.
The experience on the desert itself was PHENOMENAL.. not only was he a great driver, he was secretly an awesome photographer as well taking some of the best photos of the day.
Dinner was good (food was tasty!) and the show was entertaining.
Overall would highly recommend!!!

The driver was so professional and well mannered, I have enjoyed the entire trip it was so organized and the night shows were so exciting the dinner was so delicious and luxurious food.
5
Muhammed was the best tour guide I have ever had. I lost my valuables which were found and returned to me intact!!! But his concern during the search for them was not only touching but reassuring. I would recommend him anytime. Thanks Muhammed and I hope to use your services again in the future inshallah.
5
waheed afridi is a great driver and also a great guide! I highly recommend a trip with him, its my 4th time in dubai, every time I did desert safari, but this one was the best so far.
5 stars well deserved. I would give more if possible.
5
Naveed is a good guy. He came to our hotel to pick up my family on time. He introduced the program clearly. During desert safari, Naveed showed a professional skill and spirit to drive the car safely, but with adventure, of course. This is an amazing day that should be remembered.
5
We had a 19hour layover in Dubai. Booked this excursion the night before and don’t regret it at all. We got to see so much in a little time! Muhammad was our tour guide and he was great! Very professional and personable! I would definitely book again and recommend it! Lastly the FOOD at the Camp. I always worry about buffets because I’m pescatarian, but they had plenty of options. Loved the food!
5
Siamo stati con la guida Nawaz, il quale è stato molto disponibile ed attento alle nostre esigenze. E’ un’esclusione che consiglierei a tutti di fare

Really professional Kahn the driver and Abbas the operation Manager. The were always present and available for any need. We enjoyed our evening.
Extremely skilled in dune bashing and desert safari The show at the camp had nice performances with some good bbq food, drinks and refreshments
5
The tour it’s self was absolutely beautiful but Muhammad the driver was just the cherry on top. Even my daughter had raving reviews…thanks again Muhammad
5
I highly recommend this fun and extremely memorable Desert Safari. And when you go you must do the ATV drive in the desert! It is a gas.
The dune bashing was much more exciting than I had expected. Beautiful red dunes and lots of altitude with great views. Plus the dinner, camel ride and live show was the best way to end a great afternoon.
And when you go hopefully you get Saeed our guide and driver. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and an experienced safe driver. He is also a “professional” photographer who takes the best action photos when you stop for photos along the way.
This is a must trip when you come to Dubai
5
Had a wonderful evening trip with our guide Mr. Saeed. Very nice guy providing knowledge and help on all meet up points.
