Blog Article
Picking a safari should be the easy part of your trip. But with so many Dubai desert safari packages to choose from, it's easy to feel lost. Should you go VIP? Is the Hummer worth it? Do you need a quad bike? We answer all of those questions below, in plain English.
We're Dubai Safari Desert, and we run desert trips all year, from short morning rides to full nights in the desert. Here's how our packages compare, so you can pick the right one in a few minutes.
Three Questions to Ask Yourself
Before comparing prices, ask yourself three quick questions:
• Do you have a morning, an evening or a full night free?
• Would you rather drive yourself or be driven?
• Do you want extra comfort, or is the standard camp fine?
Once you know the answers, the right package is usually obvious.

What Every Trip Has in Common
No matter which trip you choose, some things never change. Our camps are built in a traditional Bedouin style, with low seating, soft lights and plenty of space. There are always veg and non-veg dishes at dinner. Pickup and drop-off are confirmed 24 hours before your trip, so you're never left waiting and wondering.
We also offer an Abu Dhabi desert safari for AED 140, and city tours of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Hatta, if you'd like to see more of the UAE.
An Evening in the Desert, Step by Step
The trip starts with a pickup from your hotel in the early afternoon. After a while, the buildings disappear and the dunes begin. The driver lowers the tyre pressure, and the dune bashing begins. The car goes up, over and down the dunes at angles that make everyone shout. It's bumpy, but it's a lot of fun.
Next, you stop on a high dune to watch the sunset. Then you drive to the camp for a camel ride, dinner and the shows. At around 9 PM, it's time for the drive back to your hotel.
A Quick Word on Safety
The drivers know these dunes very well and drive them daily. You wear a seatbelt the whole time. If you get car sick, eat a light lunch and ask for the front seat. Pregnant guests, people with back problems and parents with babies should tell us when they book, and we'll help you pick the right trip.
