Depart for the Lahbab Desert in an Air-Conditioned Vehicle

2:45pm onwards

After being picked up by the Safari Captain, a 60-minute drive will take you to the desert. On the way, you will learn about Dubai's humble origins and trendsetting innovations.

Your first stop in the desert will be a rest area. Enjoy a 25-minute break before your safari experience begins to rest or make use of the bathroom facilities. If you so wish, go for an optional quad bike ride.

Experience the Thrill of Dune Bashing and Sandboarding

4:30pm onwards

The red dune desert safari adventure begins in earnest after the break. Spend the next 30-45 mins bashing dunes on the silken sands of the Lahbab. For an extra dose of adrenaline, take a gander at sandboarding - go all the way up to a top of a sand dune and slide all the way down on a sandboard.

You can also opt to experience some sand tromping fun on a quad bike instead.

Head to the Al Khayma Desert Camp

5:30pm onwards

Make your way to the desert camp, where you will be welcomed with Qahwa (Arabic coffee), Gaymat (sweets), and dates. An unlimited supply of drinks is at your disposal.

Get Ready for Camel Riding, Live Entertainment, and More at the Desert Camp

7pm onwards

Commit yourself to enjoying classic red dune desert safari experiences such as camel riding and henna painting. You can even get an Arabic makeover as you try Kandura and Abaya - Arabian clothes for men and women. Don't miss out on a meeting with the Falcon expert, and pose for a picture with the regal bird.

Evening entertainment comes in the form of 3 delightful shows that will take you close to the Middle Eastern arts and culture - a Tanura dance show, a fire show, and a belly dance Khaliji-style show after the barbecue dinner and tasting of local desserts. You can choose between a self-service open buffet or a VIP food service wherein the staff will serve the meal at your table.

As a final treat, the camp will be completely switched off, casting the camp in a beautiful desert night ambiance. Gaze at the night sky and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

Some features could have improved with the amount of money that was collected. General price range for safari is 200-300 AED. We paid 500+ AED, so was expecting better service.

Guide was very helpful. Logistics could be improved, as we were late at the camp and barely had time to explore other activities beyond dinner.

Dear concerned, I'd like to express my dissatisfaction with the most recent desert safari trip as follows: 1. We have to wait for 1 hour and 30 minutes in the quad bike area since we are not interested, and as per the driver, we have to wait for 30 minutes, which is consumed from our journey time and affects the other activities waiting for our colleagues. The driver's comment was that it is a sharing car and we have to wait for them since it is a sharing car, which was surprisingly ridicules and wasn’t what we paid for. 2. We had only around 15-20 minutes in the bush desert with the car as per the program, which clearly mentioned 35–40 minutes, and unfortunately, that was the thing we were looking forward to the most. 3. Since we were already late, sadly, we didn’t catch the sunset near the camp or the camel ride and reached the camp late after the sunset unfortunately. 4. It was about the belly dancing, as there was no belly dancing, and it named the Khaliji performance, and the pictures in the application never happened this time or like previous desert safaris as well. Since it is not my first time, I thought the program would improve and be better, but apparently it was the worst and I was super upset and not satisfied, especially with the driver's attitude, compared to our previous trips. This might be the last time since we didn’t go with any other company beside OceanAir.
