Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know to plan your perfect Dubai desert adventure.

What is the difference between a Morning, Evening, and VIP Desert Safari?

The Evening Safari (6-7 hours) is our most popular package, featuring sunset views, BBQ dinner, and live camp entertainment. The Morning Safari (4 hours) focuses entirely on daytime dune bashing and sandboarding, without the camp dinner. The VIP Safari includes the complete evening experience but upgrades you to exclusive table service and premium seating at the camp.

We highly recommend loose, comfortable clothing and sandals or secure sneakers for walking on the sand. If you are visiting during the winter months (November to March), please bring a light jacket or sweater, as the desert temperature drops significantly after sunset.

Traditional red dune bashing is an extreme off-road activity. For safety reasons, it is strictly not recommended for pregnant women, infants under 3 years old, or guests with severe back or heart conditions. However, we offer private “soft-drive” and direct-to-camp options so everyone can still safely enjoy the desert camp experience.

Pickup depends on the package you choose. For our premium 4×4, VIP, and Private safaris, we provide direct door-to-door pickup from your hotel or residence using fully insured Land Cruisers or Hummers. For our budget-friendly basic packages, we use shared transfers from specific meeting points in Dubai (Dragon Mart, Lulu Hypermarket behind Mall of the Emirates, Burjuman Spinneys, Day to Day Deira) and Sharjah (Sharjah City Center, Mega Mall, National Paints, Nesto).

Yes. All of our BBQ buffet dinners are 100% Halal. We provide a wide, dedicated variety of fresh vegetarian dishes, salads, and traditional Arabic sides alongside our non-vegetarian grilled meats. Please inform our team of any severe allergies when booking via WhatsApp.

Our packages are designed for every budget. Prices start as low as 45 AED per person for our basic Self-Drive package, and range up to 500+ AED for Private Land Cruisers and high-end Dune Buggy adventures. We guarantee 100% transparency with no hidden charges—what you see in your package details is exactly what you pay.

The most popular time for a desert safari is during the UAE’s winter months, from November to March, when the weather is cool and breezy. However, our safaris operate year-round. If you are visiting in the summer, we highly recommend our Morning Safari to beat the midday heat, or our Evening Safari where temperatures drop comfortably after sunset.

Short camel rides, sandboarding, and all standard camp entertainment are included in your base ticket. High-powered adventure activities like Quad Biking (starting at 150 AED) and Dune Buggy rides are optional add-ons. You can select a dedicated package that includes them (like our Evening Safari with Quad Bike), or you can add them on arrival at the camp.

Know Before You Go

Essential information to ensure a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable desert adventure.

Instant WhatsApp Booking

No need to print tickets. Receive your booking confirmation and pickup details directly via WhatsApp. Pay securely with zero hidden fees.

Safety Restrictions

Extreme dune bashing is not suitable for pregnant guests, infants under 3, or those with severe back/heart conditions. Please request our Private "Soft-Drive" option instead.

Recommended Dress Code

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and sandals (sneakers will fill with sand!). Bring a light jacket or sweater during winter months (Nov-March) as the desert gets chilly at night.

Food & Dining

Our BBQ buffet dinner includes a wide variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Unlimited water, soft drinks, tea, and Arabic coffee (Gahwa) are included.

Camp Amenities

Our premium desert camps are fully equipped with clean, separate toilet facilities for both men and women to ensure your comfort throughout the evening.
