Pickup from home or hotel is included, with a VIP lounge or a private car for up to seven as upgrades; alcohol is not served. 4.7 from 1342 reviews at €20 per person for 6h. In our comparison: #518 of 525 in Evening Desert Safaris, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Leave Dubai city and travel into the desert. Head off road into dunes and, with a trained driver at the helm, enjoy a dune bash. Carve up the dunes and hold tight as your 4WD slips back down. After a sunset photo stop, try out sandboarding. Grab a supplied board and feel the thrill of surfing down high dunes. Then, continue to a Bedouin-inspired tented camp, where Arabic coffee and sweets await. Duly refreshed, take your pick from the activities on offer: ride a camel, wear Arabic robes for souvenir photos, get a henna tattoo, or enjoy an optional water pipe (shisha). Alternatively, up the pace by renting a dune buggy or quad bike (additional cost) to zoom over the sands. Finally, enjoy a barbecue buffet and watch belly dancing, fire, and Whirling Dervish (tanoura) performances before your outing ends with a hotel drop-off. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Max 7 people: small group - Starts 14:00, 14:30: 2 departures a day - Food included: see what is included - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €20 per person for the Evening Desert Safari Dubai with Camel Riding & BBQ Buffet Dinner option; other options up to €145 - Duration: 6h - Rating: 4.7/5 from 1342 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: OceanView Tours - Group: Shared, up to 7 travellers · private option available - Guide languages: English - Start times: 14:00, 14:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-21 ## Reviews 4.7 from 1342 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 92% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 1228 of 1342. - 5 stars: 1190 (89%) - 4 stars: 38 (3%) - 3 stars: 26 (2%) - 2 stars: 35 (3%) - 1 star: 53 (4%) ## 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 | |---|---|---|---| | Evening Desert Safari Dubai with Camel Riding & BBQ Buffet Dinner | €20 / person | English | Pickup included | | Desert Safari + VIP Lounge | €34 / person | English | Desert Safari + VIP Lounge: VIP Package : Step into our private VIP zone with enhanced amenities, priority service, and full time open live BBQ dinner Pickup included | | Exclusive Car upto 7 Person's | €145 / person | English | Exclusive Car upto 7 Person's: Ideal for Families & Small Groups Upgrade to a fully private 4×4 vehicle exclusively for your group of up to 7 guests Pickup included | ## What's included - Henna Tattoo for Females & Kids - Short Camel Riding - International Buffet Dinner, Vegetarian & Non-Vegetarian with BBQ - Arabic Hookah - Self- Service in Smoking Area - Arabic Costumes for Pictures – Male / Female - Pickup Drop-off by 4x4 vehicle from home or hotel - Fire Show 2 Times - Unlimited Tea, Coffee, Soft Drinks & Water - Arabic Traditional Dance Show - Sandboarding & View Point of Desert ## Not included - Alcoholic Beverages ## Itinerary 1. **Dubai** (pass by, no stop) - Our tour will begin in Dubai, we will depart and head out to our destination. 2. **Desert safari Dubai takes you to the high dunes outside Dubai for an action-p...** (5h) - Desert safari Dubai takes you to the high dunes outside Dubai for an action-packed day of adventure.
