Get to learn what this safari includes, what makes it special, and why it continues to be one of the highest rated experiences in Dubai.
The Evening Desert Safari Dubai is a guided group tour that begins in the afternoon and lasts until after dinner. It takes you from the city into the Lahbab desert for an off-road adventure followed by a relaxing night under the stars.
It’s not just a quick ride through the dunes. This tour is designed to give you a full evening experience, starting with high energy dune bashing and ending with a peaceful dinner and cultural performances at a traditional style desert camp.
It’s a perfect way to escape the city and see another side of Dubai. One that reflects its Bedouin roots and love for open landscapes.
Here’s a full breakdown of what’s usually included in the Evening Desert Safari Dubai package:
Your safari starts with a shared 4×4 pickup from your hotel or residence. Depending on your location, the drive takes 45 to 60 minutes to reach the meeting point in the desert.
Along the way, your driver will give you a quick overview of the itinerary and what to expect.
The adventure truly begins the moment you step into the desert. The 4x4s deflate their tires, and you go on a dune bashing ride across tall red sand dunes. This off-road session lasts 25 to 35 minutes and offers a thrilling experience as the car climbs and drops down steep dune faces.
This part of the tour is high energy, but it’s also safe. All vehicles are fitted with roll cages, and the drivers are licensed and trained for off-road driving.
If you prefer a gentler ride or want to skip this part, you can usually request that in advance.
After the dune bashing, there’s a short stop at the top of the dunes where you can step out, take in the silence of the desert, and capture the sunset over the sand. It’s one of the most photographed moments of the trip.
Next comes a short camel ride that’s just enough to get a feel for what traditional travel felt like in the old days. You can also try sandboarding, which involves sliding down dunes on a board that is fun, safe, and easy for beginners.
After your adventure in the open desert, the tour continues to a Bedouin inspired camp set up with carpets, low seating, and decorative lanterns. This is where the second half of the experience begins.
At our camp, you can unwind and take things at a more relaxed pace. You’re welcomed with Arabic coffee (Gahwa), fresh dates, and snacks. It’s the perfect time to refresh before the evening entertainment and dinner begin.
The desert camp is where you’ll spend the rest of your evening. Here’s what’s usually part of the package:
