# Dubai Desert Safari With Camel Riding BBQ Buffet and 5 Live Shows

**Guidekin's take:** A shared evening safari in the Al Awir desert with pickup from your Dubai address, dune bashing, sandboarding and a short camel ride before dinner. Henna, dress-up photos, a barbecue buffet, soft drinks and five shows are included; dune bashing is unsuitable in pregnancy. 4.97 from 152 reviews at €19 per person for 6h 30m.

In our comparison: #92 of 525 in Evening Desert Safaris, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Leaving Dubai for the desert involves more than a dune drive. With pickup from Dubai, this shared safari covers 4x4 dune bashing, sandboarding, and a short camel ride before dinner and live entertainment. At the desert camp, enjoy henna painting and Arabian-dress photography, followed by a BBQ buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Tanoura, belly-dance, and fire shows round out the evening in Al Awir.
