Heritage & Wildlife Desert Safaris in Dubai

Heritage and wildlife desert safaris in Dubai trade dune bashing for a slow drive, a falconry show and a Bedouin camp, and cost more for fewer seats; we read every listing and kept 37 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €27 per person for a red dunes safari that adds a falcon photo and a camel ride, to €497 for a private vintage car and camp evening priced per vehicle. The core format is a vintage Land Rover desert safari into the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve: a nature drive past oryx and gazelles, a sunset falconry demonstration, then an Emirati dinner and stargazing at camp.

Check the option before you book: on the standard red dunes safaris the falcon is a photo stop, winter only; a falconry session in Dubai with glove and bird is its own private tour. Small children are not allowed in the shared vintage cars and need a private vehicle, and wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
