About This Tour

Desert Safari Dubai Without Dune Bashing

Experience the Dubai desert at a more relaxed pace with our Desert Safari Dubai Without Dune Bashing. This tour is designed for guests who want the atmosphere, scenery and evening camp experience of a Dubai desert safari while avoiding the aggressive dune-driving portion of a traditional safari.

The shared package starts from AED 129 per person, while guests who prefer their own vehicle can choose the private option for AED 774 per car for up to six guests.

A Dubai Desert Safari Without the Dune Drive

Dune bashing is one of the most famous parts of many Dubai safari tours, but not every visitor wants that type of driving. Some guests simply prefer a calmer journey, while others want to focus on the desert scenery, camel ride, photographs, camp activities, dinner and entertainment.

This package removes dune bashing from the itinerary while keeping the other major elements of an evening desert safari.

Shared Desert Safari – AED 129 Per Person

The shared package costs AED 129 per person and includes transportation from eligible Dubai hotels or residences.

Guests share the transfer vehicle with other visitors according to the day's pickup route and operating schedule.

Private Desert Safari – AED 774 Per Car

Guests who want greater privacy can select the private package for AED 774 per car. One private vehicle accommodates up to six guests.

The price is based on AED 129 multiplied by the six-seat vehicle capacity.

Groups of 1 to 6 guests require one private car for AED 774, groups of 7 to 12 require two cars for AED 1,548, and groups of 13 to 18 require three cars for AED 2,322.

Hotel Pickup and Drop-Off

Pickup and drop-off are included from eligible Dubai hotels or residences. Enter your complete pickup location and an active contact number when booking.

The exact pickup time is confirmed after the booking because timing varies depending on the season, pickup route, traffic and daily safari schedule.

Gentler Desert Transfer

The key difference between this package and a traditional Evening Desert Safari Dubai is the absence of dune bashing.

Your transfer is arranged to reach the desert experience and camp without the aggressive driving over high dunes that forms part of a regular dune-bashing safari.

Desert and Sunset Photography

The Dubai desert provides excellent opportunities for photographs. Depending on the season, route and timing, the tour can include a stop suitable for desert or sunset photographs.

Actual sunset visibility depends on weather and seasonal timing and therefore cannot be guaranteed on every tour.

Camel Ride Included

A short camel ride is included as part of the desert experience. It provides an opportunity to enjoy a traditional desert activity and take memorable photographs.

Desert Camp Experience

After the desert activities, guests continue to the evening camp. The camp provides a place to relax, enjoy dinner and experience the available entertainment program.

Camp facilities and individual activities can vary according to the operating setup.

BBQ Dinner Included

The package includes the available BBQ dinner at the desert camp. The menu can vary depending on the camp supplier and daily operating arrangements.

Guests with specific dietary requirements should provide those details before the tour so the operations team can confirm available options.

Live Entertainment

The tour normally includes the available evening entertainment program at the desert camp.

Entertainment schedules can change because of local regulations, religious occasions, weather or other operating conditions.

Optional ATV, Buggy and Can-Am Activities

Guests who want additional adventure can select optional motorized activities during booking.

Available options include Single Seat ATV for AED 150, Double Seat ATV for AED 250, 2 Seater Buggy for AED 800, 4 Seater Buggy for AED 1,000, Can-Am 2 Seater for AED 1,400 and Can-Am 4 Seater for AED 1,600.

These activities are completely optional and are not included in the AED 129 shared package or AED 774 private package.

Optional VIP Sofa Seating

Guests who want upgraded seating at the camp can add VIP Sofa Seating – No Queue for AED 50 per person.

When selected, the upgrade applies to the total number of adults and children in the booking.

However, this should not be interpreted as medical advice or a guarantee that every activity is suitable for every guest.
