Our desert safari experience in Dubai was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to our incredible guide, Mr. Muhammad. From the moment we set off, he ensured we had an adventure to remember. His expertise in navigating the dunes made the dune bashing experience absolutely thrilling! He took us to the highest dunes, giving us breathtaking views and an adrenaline-pumping ride that was both safe and exhilarating. The desert sliding (sandboarding) was another highlight of the trip! Gliding down the golden dunes under the vast sky was an experience we will cherish forever. Mr. Muhammad’s friendly demeanor and deep knowledge of the desert made the whole journey even more enjoyable. The entire safari, from the dune bashing to the serene sunset views, camel rides, and cultural performances, was well-organized and seamless. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai, and if you get Mr. Muhammad as your guide, consider yourself lucky, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – A must-do experience in Dubai!

We had a fantastic day, our Tour guide was amazing with my 7 YO son and helped us not get ripped off by the guys in the shop trying to charge extortionate prices for headscarf's etc and we had some amazing photo opportunities which our guide took on my phone for me! (He was a much better photographer than I am). The quad ride was worth the extra cost, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd read reviews on the food not being great but I personally really enjoyed the buffet and it was really filling. My 7 YO is fussy and wouldn't eat it but there was a vendor on site so I was able to purchase him some nuggets and chips for 50AED. The evening entertainment was great I particularly enjoyed the fire show. Really good and organised day out for all ages.

Excellent tour, done last week, very well organized, in not very large groups to better appreciate everything. After a small initial misunderstanding, my fault for not communicating the pickup location at the hotel, we quickly resolved. The tour adhered to the description with all the activities indicated. The sunset in the desert is something you do not forget. Very rich buffet dinner (I had this option) with water and soft drinks no limits. Despite the many people present, but the Desert Camp being very large, you don't feel them at all. The whole thing ends around 9:30 pm in the evening, from 2-15 pm. The very friendly guide Rahmal was always helpful to us at all times. There are also some small stores in the Camp for some souvenirs.

A visit to the City of Gold is incomplete without going for a desert safari. Here are some of the top adventure activities you can expect as part of your evening desert safari in Dubai.

Sandboarding

Here, you’ll get to enjoy a thrilling experience by gliding down from the slopes of the desert dune using a specially designed board that is fastened under your feet, much like snowboarding! All you have to do is strap your boots along the sand-board and slide down from the top. Sandboarding in Dubai is completely safe and suitable for all age groups. 

Dune-bashing

Dune-bashing is an off-roading experience done in the desert. Dune-bashing in Dubai is usually carried out in a big 4x4 vehicle where you’d be going at varying speeds over the sand dunes and the car would be steered in such a way that balance is maintained at all times. It is sure to get your adrenaline pumping while maintaining maximum care and safety.

Quad biking

A quad bike is a three- or four-wheeled bike-like vehicle with low-pressure tires for outdoor landscapes. Hop onto a quad bike and ride along the uneven landscape at varying speeds. Enjoy the cool wind breeze past as you travel on the sand dunes while quad biking in Dubai

Camel rides

Camel riding in Dubai should be on your list of things to do as it gives you a glimpse into the travel lifestyle of the Bedouin people. Relax and let the camels take you across the vast expanse of the Lahbab desert while enjoying the beautiful sunset.
All these adventure activities would also be a part of a morning desert safari in Dubai.
