Overview

Most desert safaris in Dubai take you to the same crowded camps with the same rushed program. We do it differently. Your DTCM-licensed guides drive you deep into the iconic red dunes of Lahbab for real dune bashing, sandboarding, and an open-desert sunset with no crowds around you. Then we take you to your Bedouin camp in Al Awir for camel rides, henna, shisha, a full BBQ buffet dinner, and live shows under the desert sky. No hidden costs. No pressure to upgrade on arrival. Everything is clear before you book. Choose from multiple options, including quad bike rides and VIP area access to match your group and budget. We pick up from any hotel or residence across Dubai and Sharjah and drop you back at the end of the night.

What to expect

  1. Lahbab Desert Safari Dubai
    2h
    Your driver picks you up from your hotel or residence in Dubai or Sharjah in an air-conditioned 4x4 Land Cruiser and heads toward the iconic red dunes of Lahbab, about 45 minutes southeast of Dubai.

    As the city gives way to open desert, the landscape shifts to the deep red dunes Lahbab is famous for. On arrival, tyre pressure is reduced for the dunes, and the adventure begins.

    Guests enjoy thrilling dune bashing across high red dunes, a quad bike ride through the desert terrain, sandboarding down the slopes, and a natural sunset photography stop in the middle of the open desert with no camps or crowds in sight.
  2. Al Awir
    3h
    After the dune bashing and sunset photography at Lahbab, your driver takes you to the Bedouin-style desert camp in Al Awir, about 30 minutes from the dunes.

    On arrival, guests are welcomed with Arabic coffee, chilled water, and soft drinks. The camp offers a full range of traditional activities including camel riding, henna tattoos for ladies and children, and shisha in a relaxed open-air setting under the desert sky.

    As the evening settles in, guests sit down to a BBQ buffet dinner featuring grilled meats, fresh salads, Arabic mezze, and desserts.

    The night ends with live cultural entertainment including a belly dance performance, a tanoura spinning show, and a fire show.

    After the shows, your driver drops you back at your hotel or residence in Dubai or Sharjah, completing a full 7-hour desert experience from pickup to drop-off.
