What Is a Dubai Desert Safari?

A Dubai desert safari is a guided off-road adventure across the Lahbab Red Dunes, combining thrill, scenery, and authentic desert culture. You’ll experience dune bashing, sandboarding, camel rides, photo stops, sunset views, and (in the evening) a full camp experience with BBQ and live shows.

Our tours are led by licensed desert drivers, designed for families, couples, solo travellers, and anyone looking for a real Dubai experience, not a rushed or overcrowded one.

  • Ideal for first-time visitors to Dubai
  • Family, couple and group-friendly options
  • Multiple timings: morning, evening, overnight
  • Upgrades: quad bikes, VIP seating, private 4×4
