What is desert Safari Dubai?

Desert Safari is one of the most popular adventure sports in Dubai. Dubai is blessed with a great desert, the ideal venue for desert safari. This activity mainly consists of running up and down your vehicle on the desert dunes. The vehicles are custom-built Land Cruisers driven by expert and certified drivers who would give you all the thrill yet keep you entirely safe. Although a daily activity, it is most prevalent when the sun sets. Setting Sun against the backdrop of the vast red dunes makes this adventure unique. A standard desert safari would last almost six hours. The safari does not have any animal spotting. Still, the roller coaster drives through the desert dunes with sand splashing hard against your window occasionally would give you plenty of adventure.

Safari Experience

The experience of desert safari Dubai is a combination of many. It is the experience of a roller coaster ride on a monstrous 4 x 4 Land cruiser. It is about the visual delight of the sun going down at the cusp of red dunes and red sky. It is the experience of great food, it is the experience of local culture and traditions, and it is the experience of the Arabesque fair. In this land, various dancers entertain you. And all that is rolled into a 6-hour activity called Dubai Desert Safari!

Once your driver of Dubai desert safari readies the car for you. You get time to stroll around, take a selfie, and appreciate the red desert. The convoy of land cruiser vehicles follows the leader and duels up with the forever unpredictable and shifting dunes. The harder it hits, the further it bounces up. The sand splashes against your car window, and in most cases, you would feel that the vehicle is about to tumble, but the well-trained guide maneuvers well and keeps you safe.

As the dune bashing comes atop the tallest dune in the vicinity, the convoy halts for guests to take selfies against the setting sun as a romantic backdrop. You are headed to our campsite, modeled on a traditional Bedouin living quarter. Before entering our camp, you may do a camel ride or sandboarding for various hospitality offerings. Upon arrival, you will be offered chilled juice, Arabic Tea, and dates. Hot and yummy snacks will follow to get you into the mood for a chilled-out time in the camp. The desert campsite has various activity corners and a large open courtyard. You can go far on a camel ride or get a henna tattoo from our local artisan. If you wish to smoke, head to our sheesha corner and indulge in free Hubbly. You may also take your selfie with the local dress for keeps– Kandura for men and Abaya for women.

Yes! We do take care of your dining too. While chilling out with these starters, our staff would prepare for the Arabic, Indian, and continental main course barbeque dinner. The BBQ dinner is made buffet style. While you serve and make yourself comfortable in one of the cozy Arabic-style seating, the arena comes alive with foot-tapping music, and our beautiful belly dancer steals the show and your heart. After a charming performance, Fire-show and Tanura dance are equally energetic. Relax, enjoy the mouthwatering dessert, and have one more round of Arabic coffee before heading out to your vehicle to return to your city. Dubai at night looks more beautiful and energetic, and returning to its welcoming arms will surely uplift your spirits.

Dune Bashing

The desert has a unique topography. It consists of sifting sand due to the wind. The movement of the sand creates small hills of sand called dunes. Some dunes relay tower over others. When you drive your vehicle on these dunes, you will feel like you are doing a roller coaster ride. This is because the sand is soft and creates significantly less friction. Hence, your vehicle’s tyre pressure must be considerably reduced to create a “floating” motion. The activity of “floating” on purpose-built land cruisers is called Dune Bashing. The dune bashing is the main activity of a desert safari. The vast red desert dunes offer you a fantastic dune-bashing thrill.

Quad Biking

Quads are monster offroad bikes. They have powerful engines, and you drive them like a bike. However, the difference is that this has four wheels, unlike the traditional bikes with two wheels. Its engine is powerful to negotiate all the challenges of the desert. Quad Biking is a trendy sport in the entire GCC region. Since driving Quads in the desert does not require a driving license, many local boys and men take to this sport. Even for tourists and residents, this sport can opt as a weekend adventure sport for all. Because of Dubai Government’s high safety standards, even teens can drive these Quads in the desert expanse of Dubai.

BBQ Buffet Menu – Veg & Nonveg

The Dubai Desert Safari package includes the yummiest BBQ buffet. This is one spread that you won’t like to miss at all. The BBQ Buffet menu consists of 3 courses and includes enough and more for bothered vegetarians and meat-eating guests. The BBQ buffet is served to you in a Desert camp that is fully modeled on a “local Tent,” i.e., just like how the local Bedouins used to live or are still living in remote desert villages. However, after a roller coaster ride on the dunes, all you would like to do is chill and get pampered with delicious food. You would be served some chilled cold drinks, followed by finger snacks. As the sun goes down further, the camp lights come up, and it gets transformed into some Arabesque fairly land. The hot buffet includes continental, Indian, and local Arabic delicacies.

The BBQ buffet menu has Arabic and Asian sweets to top it all. The menu is fully prepared under strict food safety guidelines, and we regularly monitor the whole production and serving activities to keep our guests safe.

Safari Trip Dos and Don'ts

  • Listen to your tour guide's briefings regarding any protocols and safety instructions.
  • Keep yourself hydrated all the time.
  • Eat light before dune bashing, as it could become uncomfortable if you are a full stomach.
  • Apply sunscreen cream on your face and body.
  • Never go too far from your camp or vehicle.
  • Wear light clothes during the safari and in winter take warm clothing with you.
  • Do not disrespect any local traditions.
  • Do not harm any flora or fauna.
  • No smoking inside the vehicle.
  • Inform your driver if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or have motion sickness so that he ensures that you directly reach the campsite avoiding dune bashing.

Types of Desert Safari Dubai

We have different safaris to suit the budget requirements and the time available. You can choose a quick safari-only package, or if you have enough time, then opt for the Overnight Desert safari too.

Morning Safari

The morning safari is for those who are short on time. Since this safari mainly consists of desert dune bashing. The Morning Desert Safari starts at 9 AM when our vehicle comes to your drop step to pick you up for an adventure activity you will remember for a long time. Your vehicle would drive past the early morning Dubai energy and reach the Al Awir desert area in 30 to 45 minutes. And then your dune bashing starts. Many people find it challenging to hold their breath when their offroader plunges down the sifting dune, only to come back in no time. After a memorable drive, you’re taken to our campsite, where you can do quad biking or dune buggy driving before returning to work. The quad biking and dune buggy are not included in the cost, and you must pay separately.

Evening Safari

Desert Safari in the evening is the most popular of all the three options. This safari begins at 5 PM when all our safari vehicles meet at the “Meeting point”. While the safari guides prepare their land cruisers for the onward dune bashing, you may enjoy the nearby dunes, the red desert, beautiful scenes with selfies, etc. The dune bashing starts once the vehicles are ready and you are onboarded with all safety precautions. The steepness of the dune slopes while going up and coming down on them is pure fun and not too good for weak hearts. The screams inside the vehicle would prove the thrills they are experiencing!

The evening safari has broken a few pauses in between for you to enjoy the famous local desert sports like sandboarding, a visit to camel shelter, and witnessing the magnificent sunset.

You have a lot of options to do your Evening Desert Safari like;

Private Safari

The overnight safari is for those who like to stay close to nature and enjoy the silence of the night, the starlit sky, and the beautiful sunrise. The overnight safari is an extension of the evening safari. Once you return from the dune bashing and finish your dinner, you will retire to our tastefully decorated and comfortable tents. These tents are inside our Desert Camp and are fully secured as the gates of the tent are shut at night. We have our night attendants who take care of all your comforts.
