# Dubai Evening Desert Safari with Pickup, BBQ & 5 Live Shows

**Guidekin's take:** An evening at the Lahbab red dunes with a no dune bashing option, ending at a premium camp with a falcon photo, a camel ride and five live shows over a barbecue buffet. A licensed guide and four wheel drive pickup from Dubai are included; alcohol is not, and belly dance is off during Ramadan. 4.94 from 303 reviews at €45 per person for 6h.
