During our trip, we were most thrilled by the off-road adventure, quad rides, and the group grill. Our group leader (the captain Muhammad) took care of every detail, showing not only professionalism but also a lot of care. He made sure we didn’t overpay for extras like shisha, and even brought us dinner when the lines were long. Out of his own kindness, he would also bring us sweets. The breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences made this trip truly remarkable. The atmosphere was fantastic – I highly recommend it to everyone! An added bonus is the affordable price for an experience that lasts almost the entire day.

Our tour guide was Qamar who was a very personable and knowledgable guy. From the journey to the desert to dropping us back at the apartment, he made the day seemless with his energy. We didn't plan on the doing the quad biking but glad we did as it was thoroughly enjoyable. Our Kids loved the camel rides and the guide was very good at capturing photos for everyone. The desert safari itself was captivating as the dunes went on forever and were beautiful. You stop off half way to do sand boarding which again is great fun. Thanks again to Qamar for making a once in a lifetime trip even more special.

Other Activities

Dune Bashing: Dune bashing offers an exhilarating ride over Dubai’s soft dunes in a specialized 4x4 vehicle. This activity demands expert driving skills due to the shifting sands. Conducted in convoys for safety, you'll mostly be a passenger while the driver handles the vehicle. Get ready to skid and slide across your seat through the golden desert.

Quad Biking: Quad biking allows you to explore the desert landscape at your own pace on a four-wheeled bike. Suitable for both beginners and experienced riders, it adds an adventurous twist to your desert safari.

Camel Riding: Camel rides offer a more traditional desert experience and are perfect for photography enthusiasts.

Sandboarding: Similar to snowboarding, sandboarding lets you glide down the dunes on a board. It's a unique and fun way to embrace the desert's landscape.

Dune Buggy Ride: This is the perfect way to explore the desert and get a taste of the true Arabian adventure. These buggies can reach speeds of up to 70km/h as you navigate through the endless sea of sands. Each buggy ride is led by an expert guide, ensuring your safety while you enjoy the excitement of the open desert.

Shisha Smoking: This is a popular social activity in many Arab countries. It is also known as hookah or hubbly bubbly smoking. Smoke the flavored tobacco heated by charcoal and get the ultimate Emirati experience.

Henna Painting: Get intricate designs on your hands and feet, drawn by experts as you indulge in some Henna painting, a popular form of body art in Arab countries.

Arabic Coffee-Making Session: Get a taste of Emirati coffee as locals make it in a special pot, called a dallah. Coffee grounds are boiled in water and then poured into small cups. Sugar and spices may be added to the coffee.

Arabic Bread-Making Session: Watch how the Arabs cook their bread over an open flame and get a chance to taste it too!

BBQ Dinner: Savor a delicious BBQ dinner featuring a variety of meats, vegetables, and traditional Arabic dishes.

A Picture with a Falcon: If you're looking for a unique photo opportunity during your time in the desert, consider having your picture taken with a falcon. Falcons are commonly found in the desert and are often used in hunting. Some experiences also include a Falcon Show that lets you admire various tricks by the bird of prey.

Stargazing: If you opt for an overnight stay then you’ll have the chance to stargaze in the desert's night sky. The clear air and absence of light pollution reveal a sky full of stars, and if you're lucky, you might even see a shooting star or two.

Wildlife Spotting: Keep an eye out for different species of desert wildlife, including Arabian oryx, gazelles, and various birds.

How do I Choose a Safari that's Best for Me?

The first step in choosing a desert safari is deciding between a morning or evening option. For a quick visit with some adventure, opt for the morning safari. If you want to go all out and experience everything the desert safari offers then go for the evening option that includes live shows and numerous activities. For a mix of tranquility and adventure or a romantic stay, the overnight option is best.
