# Dubai Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner, Camel Ride, and Shows

**Guidekin's take:** An evening safari with shared pickup, dune bashing, sandboarding and a sunset stop that is not guaranteed, then henna and a barbecue buffet with three live shows. Snacks and soft drinks are included; quad bikes and falcon photos cost extra, and belly dance is off during Ramadan and dry days. 4.73 from 228 reviews at €44 per person for 6h.

In our comparison: #508 of 525 in Evening Desert Safaris, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

The Dubai desert safari is an unforgettable experience for adventure seekers. Begin your journey with a thrilling afternoon drive across golden sand dunes, leading to the heart of the desert. Witness the breathtaking sunset over the dunes—a moment you’ll cherish forever.

At the campsite, enjoy activities like camel rides, dressing in traditional Arabic attire, and getting intricate Henna designs. Try the aromatic Arabic Shisha (Bubble Hubble) and explore the souvenir shop for unique mementos.

As night falls, feast on a delicious BBQ dinner with authentic Arabic dishes, accompanied by traditional music. The evening entertainment features captivating performances, including a graceful Belly Dance, the spinning artistry of the Tanoura Dance and the awe-thrilling fire show to finish off the evening with sparkle.
