Itinerary
Your journey begins in the afternoon with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in a 4x4 vehicle, guided by a licensed desert safari expert. You’ll leave the bustle of Dubai behind as you travel roughly 50 minutes into the majestic Lahbab Desert, famous for its rich red dunes and timeless Bedouin charm.
Upon arrival, enjoy a short camel ride and take memorable photos in the golden sands while your guide prepares the vehicle. Then, brace yourself for an exhilarating 45-minute dune bashing session across towering dunes, led by a trained professional. At one of the highest dune peaks, pause to capture panoramic views of the desert and try sandboarding—an easy, fun activity for all experience levels. After the adventure, you’ll be welcomed at a traditional Bedouin-style desert camp for an authentic evening of food and entertainment. Watch the sunset cast warm hues over the dunes before enjoying cultural performances such as belly dancing, Tanoura spinning, and fire shows. Choose between two distinct dining experiences: a buffet-style dinner at a shared table or a premium option with food service to your own private table, ideal for couples, families, or anyone seeking extra comfort.
This 7-hour all-inclusive experience is perfect for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation, blending dune thrills with traditional Emirati hospitality under the desert sky. After the evening concludes, you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation with unforgettable memories of Dubai’s most iconic desert experience.

The desert safari was a great experience overall. Everything was well organized, and the activities were enjoyable. Our guide, TAJ, was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. He ensured everyone was comfortable and made the safari fun and safe. Highly recommended!
We had such a fantastic time sandboarding, camel riding, and driving through the dunes! The whole experience was full of fun and excitement from start to finish. Awais was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the trip. He took great photos, gave clear instructions, and really went above and beyond to make the day special.
BEWARE!!!! Do not BOOK this excursion !!!! Driver arrived in an old SUV. It was full to capacity, so my party of 3 had to sit in the very back with very little air-conditioning. I was sweltering with heat exhaustion and it was an hour drive to desert. Driver was a bit inconsiderate and drove like a crazy man . My husband was car sick from all the turns … worst excursion ever . We needed up leaving early and did not see the BBQ or show
Great ride . A lot of adrenaline . Amazing show and food in the camp . All of the people are super polite . If I can I will come again !
Excellent services as the driver and overall route experience was excellent. The events also were good, for could have been little better
The tour program was okay and my family had a good time…Except the driver drove very dangerously on the roads(not in the dunes. On the road.) and constantly used his phone while driving. I had to contact the manager to ask him to stop using his phone while driving. He stopped using his phone but still drove like crazy. I can guarantee that he is going to be in a car accident sooner or later.

Very pleasant experience had lots of fun with our guide who was a really good driver. The camp at the end was nice with pretty good food
It was amazing thank u to Rizz guide who kindly helped all the tours! I hope to enjoy next time again. I recommend to other people
It was an exciting tour. It was great value for money. The guide was a bit indifferent, but he took good care of us and was nice. The dinner was also satisfying.
Zain is the best driver !! And he is so kind! In the desert he's drive skill is so great and he select music is also great! I had a realllllly great experience!! Thank you~
I signed up for this tour because it included watching the sunset in the desert and having a barbecue dinner. Not on the road, but on the sand dunes. When I asked where I could watch the sunset, he said he would stop the car specially for me on his way to dinner... The sun was setting and we arrived at the Bedouin camp. The camel ride was a quick lap around the side yard. The welcome starter was served on a disposable paper plate. The barbecue consisted of finger-thick chicken and lamb skewers. The image of Dubai has been tarnished by the encouragement of souvenir buying and poor food. I never want to do such commercial tours again. My Real Trip, which connected us, is also responsible.
Our driver was Zain. We were so lucky, he was the best driver! He was very experienced, driving the car on the dessert hills. He was always with us through out the trip, giving us valuable advice about so many things. He even created the perfect atmosphere while driving through the dessert, by choosing the right songs! As for the safari experience, it was exactly as discriped, with no surprises. Not just me but also my children 15 and 11 said that it was the best experience we have had in Dubai!
Our tour guide was perfect, the racing between the dunes was exciting. The desert, the dinner, the staff and the show in the camp was absolutely amazing!
We are very thankfully for the kind assistance on our trip to Dubai. Your expert advise made all the difference to turn this into a well planned vacation. Thank you again and look forward to plan our next vacation with you, if possible. We will keep contact. Warmest regards during this holiday season wishing you a Great New Year. Dan, Anca and Robert
I have visisted desert safari in march and i have booked my services with this company of safari it was my best and comfortable ride with them
Our experience at the red dunes safari was nothing short of amazing. Najeeb was a fantastic host who answered all our questions, helped us at each stop, and gave us a lot of fun on the dunes. We couldn't have asked for anything more..thanks again
Great, the driver Aly is exceptional, very patient, he walks around and takes your pictures like a professional photographer! ️ This experience is totally worth it!!!
So happy we booked this tour. The tour guide Najeeb made this trip truly unforgettable with his knowledge and enthusiasm. It's wonderful to have such positive experiences when exploring new places. Would recommend anyone to book with him. You won’t regret it!
Oh what a fantastic experience, even the drive out to the dunes was great. Our guide/driver Muhram Ali was very informative and interacted great with all of us in the vehicle. Well worth doing this tour.
I booked this activity for myself my father and my sister and it was amazing. Our guide Najeeb was wonderful, he took us in the desert for the safari, helped us to take pictures and was very nice to us. Then for the BBQ and show he took us to a private location where we had amazing food and the amazing shows. I highly recommend doing this safari.
Wonderful experience in the desert, from Dune buggy, sand boarding, camel ride and dinner. Our personal guide Najeep made our trip with his personality and enthusiasm. Would recommend the upgrades including the VIP access at dinner and buggy ride. Worth the experience
I would highly recommend everyone to do this activity. We did quad biking (which is optional), camel riding (also optional), we did dune bashing and attended a evening camp that had a buffet, henna, belly dancing show, fire show and traditional dance. These activities were fantastic and I felt really part of the Arabic culture. We had a tour guide Ibrahim and he was amazing. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to all the excursion and dropped us back home. He made sure we were okay all the time, provided us with cold water and was just fantastic. Thank you Ibrahim for making this day even better !
Had a wonderful time with my family guided by Mr.Iftikhar. The entire experience was well organised and the people attending to us were extremely friendly. The camel ride was a cherry on the top.Our children found the sand board surfing to be extremely fun.
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Our driver, ifthikar was punctual, polite and made the trip fun at all times. He is a very reliable and safe driver with well over 20 years experience in off road driving. Highly recommended tour of the desert.
Iftikar was a great guide. He took good care of us through the tour.. I will recommend him to my friends.. Great overall experience
Great tour with Iftikhar, who is a safe driver. Kids liked the desert, bbq was very good, also with ice cold beer :) Everybody was very friendly
Brilliant tour. We are a family of 4 (kids 8 & 10). IBRAHIM took great care of us throughout the day. We were a little concerned that the dune bashing would be too much for the youngest, but Ibrahim tailored it perfectly. Camel ride was great, the sandboarding a blast and the evening entertainment / food was top notch. Overall, highly recommended.
We had the most amazing experience on this trip. Our guide Iftikhar was a great host and took care of all our needs. He kept the banter going and gave us all the “insider” info :D Highly recommend this tour as a must do on your Dubai trip. It’s well spaced out fun
mehdi was an amazing and informative guide. We had a wonderful time joking and laughing with him. He was also very informative and made sure we had everything we needed. He would also regularly check on us. Overall, the safari exp. was great and would recommend it. Amazing show, food and staff! Thanks for a great time!
Excellent dune safari with an experienced guide who took good pictures and was friendly. Great value for money as the sand boarding is included, as well as short camel ride (mostly for the pictures), henna, and shisha. The food was great and the entertainment was excellent. I liked the authenticity of sitting on beanbags on a low table, as opposed to sitting on normal chairs at tables like some camps. The only criticism is that we had to sit around at the quad biking area for 45 minutes "in case" someone in our group of 2 parties wanted to go, and none did. This is a waste of time and as a result, we were picked up from our hotel at 14h30. We could have used this time to do something else during our short stay in Dubai. I'd suggest giving a later pickup time if no one in the group has pre-booked any additional serviced. Despite this, it was an overall wonderful experience and I'd recommend this tour group in future.
The full-day desert safari tour in Dubai's Lahbab desert was extraordinary adventure filled with thrill, beauty, and cultural richness and everything because of kindnessof Iftikhar. Exhilarating dune bashing and capturing stunning sunsets, camel rides, sandboarding, and indulging in a mouthwatering BBQ feast, every moment of this experience will leave us with cherished memories. Immerse yourself in the mystique of the desert and let the enchanting Tanura and Belly dance performances transport you to the magical world of Arabian culture. Don't miss the opportunity to embark on this unforgettable journey and unravel the wonders of Dubai's most famous desert spot.
Was only in the UAE for two days, and this was absolutely the highlight. Our guide, Muhammad, was fantastic - he made it so much fun, pointed out highlights and provided background as we went, and was an excellent driver. Highly recommend the experience, and Muhammad!
Najeeb showed us a good time! Good pickup and communication. Nice clean vehicle and well planned activity Be prepared that the first stop is all optional extra charge activities and some pressure selling occurs Dune bashing was fun and dinner was good. Great entertainment The only complaint was the very brief touristy camel ride. Very rushed and cheap
Concerns: Company was aware they were fourteen adults taking part in this event. The company provided two (2) SUV’s. We had adult pinched in the third- row seat of which is typically not a seat three adults can sit comfortably, giving a 45mintues drive from the hotel to the initial stop. The driver seemed to be rushing the guest during the sand ski and photos because they were 30 minutes late and one of the drivers literally almost turn over one of the SUVs with the passenger in it.
Loved holding the falcon. Have always wanted to do that. The 4WD drive over the sand dunes was scary but a lot of fun. Beautiful scenery. Had a very friendly guide Kashmiri who looked after us well making sure we had water. The meal and the entertainment were superb. Amazing really as we were a long way from domestic facilities.
This is by far my best experience here in Dubai. We have been picked up from our hotel by Arif, and he pretty much lead us throughout all the activities. He was very friendly and know the culture of the place very well. Communication was excellent and we are so happy that he was our tour lead. Thank you Arif for making our experience so memorable.. We can’t wait to be back here with our kids and enjoy the Safari once more. We wouldn’t book with no one but with the dream Journey.
This was an absolutely fantastic experience and was blown away at the nominal price for everything that was included. Would highly recommend everyone to do this tour and with this Company. One of the highlights for us was our guide and driver - Mr Muhram Ali. He was prompt, clearly communicated arrival time at hotel pickup, very sociable, took really good care of us, conscientious, we felt incredibly safe with him, excellent driving skills across the dunes, and gave us space to bond as a group without being intrusive. Phenomenal guide and highly recommended. The next highlight was the tour itself. From driving ATVs, which my son loved, to the camel ride, sandboarding, and dune bashing - was exhilarating. Final highlight was the buffet dinner and the entertainment that went along with it. I would have paid the price of the full tour just for the dinner, let alone the entertainment and everything else. Food was phenomenal and plentiful. Started off with about 5 salads, houmous and biriyani. Thought that was all and piled my plate high. But it kept on coming with additional chicken curry, lamb kebabs and more. Not to mention soft drinks and dessert which were unlimited and plentiful. On top of which the performances laid on were exceptional with fire eaters and belly dancers whom I would have paid extra to see. And the evening did not end there. There were free henna and shisha stations and unlimited teas and coffees. Our group bonded incredibly well and it was a very tired but incredibly happy group of travellers who were delivered back to our hotel by the amazing Mr Muhram Ali.
I highly recommend this tour. From the pre-tour communication to the pickup and drive to the dune bashing, the sand boarding, and the BBQ and show at the camp, the tour was just fantastic. The car - a Toyota Grand Highlander, I believe - was also a notch above the cars of the other providers. Special shoutout to the driver and guide, Awais, who was professional and easy to speak with, provided valuable information throughout the trip, and knows how to bash those dunes.
Absolutely amazing day trip with Mohammad -who is simply the best tour guide! We upgraded to a private tour for just me and my husband ( we're writing this review whilst still on our honeymoon!). We had the quad bike option, but again we upgraded to take the dune buggy instead for an extra 300AED. This was so much fun, and we got to drive about in the actual desert, and ragged about on the massive dunes instead of being confined to an enclosure. Desert Safari, class. Sandblasting- class. BBQ was delicious, the entertainment and camel ride were great. Muhammad was the best! If you do one thing in Dubai - you must do this!
Absolutely amazing experience. Cant wait to do it all again had the best guide with us. Very attentive guy.
Entire family enjoyed the trip, made even better by our guide Asif. Learnt a lot, quad bikes and dune bashing super fun. Kids (8 and 10) were entertained all the way.
Wonderful experience , the quad biking and live shows were the best part! It’s a must do for Dubai. Our tour guide was amazing and great fun
We (three girls from Germany) had a very, very good time with Sajid, our tour guide. This was a fantastic experience in the desert. Pick up was on time and everything was perfectly organized. Delicious food choice in the camp at the evening, belly dance show, traditional dance, fire spectacle, camel ride, sand boarding etc. However, the most important thing is that our tour guide, Sajid, took such good care of us. He always had an eye on us, not only for security reasons while accelerates on the sand dunes but also very empathetic and extremely attentive e.g. when it comes to organize a table for us in the camp to watch the show. We liked his sense of humor straight away and he made us laugh many times and gave us unforgettable moments in this holiday. Thanks a lot for this journey and we will definetly come back and recommand the desert trip especially because of Sanjib! Kata, Naoual and Asha
Superb experience. Attentive driving staff who wow’ed us with his fantastic desert rally driving skills. The rest of the program was good too though camel ride was very short and we didn’t manage to see the falconry segment.
Really enjoyable time had very skilled driver we started driving through the desert drove for about 10 minutes and came the the road I thought well that was fun we started driving thinking we were going to the dinner area A minute later we were back on the desert for aprox an hour it was like one long thrill ride Surfing the sand hill was fun And the meal and entertainment was enjoyable Great day had by all
Picked up with a very convenient SUV. Our driver Zain was very friendly and helpful, many times made pictures without asking. The program was great, dinner was delicious and the performances are high quality. I can recommend it!
This is by far, our top 3 tours we really enjoyed. Our operator Mr Azam, very professional and informative gentleman. While driving us to the desert, he showed us some of Dubai’s landmarks and attractions. He was extremely helpful with the kids as well. Two highlights for me 1. When he organised the camp to sing and dance for me because it was my birthday, absolutely amazing. 2. I forgot my very expensive sunglasses in the car, even though he knew I had left the country already he still made contact, Fortunately one friend was in Dubai, So he went and dropped them off at her hotel. What a trustworthy person. Thank you for giving my kids and I premium service Mr Azam
Our guide Nazi was awesome! The entire experience was amazing! A must do when you visit Dubai. I definitely recommend!
