Pickup by four wheel drive, sandboarding and the barbecue buffet are included; alcohol is bought on site and the show pauses in Ramadan. 4.62 from 176 reviews at €27 per person for 4h–6h. In our comparison: #515 of 525 in Evening Desert Safaris, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview During your desert experience, you will be driven across the Red Sand Dunes to our campsite. Here, you will have the opportunity to try the traditional shisha (also known as hookah), enjoy a camel ride, and receive a Henna Painting. While at the campsite, you can watch the sunset over the dunes and enjoy a sumptuous BBQ with an international buffet. Additionally, you'll be treated to a traditional Tanura dance and a belly dancing show. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - 10 start times: between 07:30 and 15:30 - Food included: see what is included **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €27 per person for the 4-Hrs Share Safari (No Dinner) option; other options up to €150 - Duration: 4h–6h - Rating: 4.62/5 from 176 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Fun Tours Dubai - Group: Shared tour · private option available - Guide languages: English - Start times: 10 start times between 07:30 and 15:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-21 ## Reviews 4.62 from 176 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 89% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 156 of 176. - 5 stars: 139 (79%) - 4 stars: 17 (10%) - 3 stars: 11 (6%) - 2 stars: 8 (5%) - 1 star: 1 (1%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | 4-Hrs Share Safari (No Dinner) | €27 / person | English | 30-40 Mint Dune Bashing Duration: 4 hours Dinner are not Include 4x4 Vehicle Sandboarding & Camel Ride Pickup included | | DINNER IN THE DESERT / Dinner & Traditional Show in the Desert: 5-Hour Tour | €42 / person | English | Pickup included | | 7-Hour Tour with Dune Bashing | €43 / person | English | 30-40 Mint Dune Bashing Sandboarding & Picture Point BBQ Dinner Duration: 7 hours Normal Dinner Pick & Drop by Share 4x4 Car Short Camel Ride Pickup included | | 4H-Share Tour With 30-Min Bike | €48 / person | English | Dinner are not Included 30-40 Mints Dune Bashing Sandboarding & Picture Point Duration: 4 hours Cool Drinking Water Short Camel Ride Pick & Drop by 4x4 Share Car 30Min Bike Include Inside Area Pickup included | | VIP Dinner in the Desert | €62 / person | English | Short Camel ride Pick & Drop by Share 4x4 Car Duration: 6 hours BBQ Dinner VIP Service Pickup included | | 30-Mins Bike with BBQ Dinner | €65 / person | English | Cool Drinking Water BBQ Dinner Duration: 6 hours Vegetrian & Non-Vegetrian Food Pick & Drop by 4x4 Share Car 30min Bike include inside Area Pickup included | | Private Dinner in the Desert | €150 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Camel rideing Duration: 6 hours BBQ Dinner Pick & Drop by AC Car Pickup included | ## What's included - BBQ Buffet Dinner with Vegetarian & Non-Vegetarian Options - Sandboarding on the Red Desert Dunes - Traditional Belly Dance Show - Hotel or Residence Pickup & Drop-off in a Comfortable 4x4 Vehicle - Henna Painting Experience (Available with 6–7 Hour Tour Options) - Freshly Prepared Shawarma Snacks at the Desert Camp - Shared Shisha Experience at the Desert Camp - Unlimited Bottled Drinking Water Throughout the Tour - Scenic Drive to the Red Dunes of Al Madam Desert (Approx. 45–50 Minutes) - Quad Bike / ATV Ride Experience (If Option Selected) ## Not included - Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase) - Quad bike rides (if option selected) - Personal Expenses ## Itinerary 1. **Fun Tours LLC** (admission included) - The excursion begins with a pick up at your accommodation in Dubai where you will be driven to the deserts on the outskirts of the city.
