Desert Safari in Dubai

Evening, morning, overnight and VIP safaris in the red dunes, with hotel pickup. From AED 90.

A desert safari is the classic Dubai experience: a 4x4 drive into the red dunes, dune bashing, a camel ride, sandboarding and, on evening safaris, a BBQ dinner with live shows at a desert camp.

Evening safaris usually pick you up in the afternoon and bring you back at night, and they are the most popular choice. Morning safaris are shorter and cooler, good if your evenings are busy. Overnight safaris add a night under the stars, and VIP and private safaris give you your own car and a quieter camp.

Want more action? Many safaris add a quad bike or dune buggy ride. Compare the options above by price, duration and reviews.

On Audora desert safaris start from AED 90 per person. Price depends on the type (evening, morning, overnight, VIP), on extras like quad bikes or buggies, and on private or shared transport.

The evening safari is the full experience with sunset, BBQ dinner and shows. The morning safari is shorter, cooler and good for photos, but usually has no dinner or shows.

Most desert safaris include pickup and drop-off from hotels in Dubai. Check the pickup details on each tour page before booking.

Light, comfortable clothes, closed shoes or sandals you don't mind filling with sand, sunglasses and sunscreen. From December to February evenings in the desert get cool, so bring a light jacket.
