Dubai Desert Safari with Quad Biking, BBQ Dinner and Live Shows with Hotel Transfers

An evening desert safari from Dubai with dune bashing, 30-minute single quad biking, camel ride, BBQ dinner, and live shows.

Getting started

Your evening desert safari experience begins with hotel pickup and drop-off from Dubai in a shared 4WD. You travel by 4WD toward the desert, leaving the city behind as your driver heads to the red sand dunes in time for the late afternoon activities.

Dune bashing and arrival activities

What to expect

On arrival at the dunes, the driver takes you straight into dune bashing in a 4WD, a 30 to 40-minute session over rolling sand. The vehicle then stops at a vantage point so you can enjoy sunset photography and try sandboarding before moving on to your quad bike area.

Features

• Dune bashing in a 4WD (30 to 40 minutes) takes you up and down steep sandy slopes, giving you a fast-paced introduction to the desert terrain.
• You step out at a designated spot for sunset photography, capturing the desert landscape as the light changes.
• Sandboarding is available on nearby dunes, where you can slide down the slopes on a board before getting back into the vehicle.

Quad biking and camp experience

What to expect

After the dune session, you are taken for a single 30-minute quad biking session across the sand. Once your quad biking is complete, the evening continues at a traditional-style camp where you can join a camel ride, try henna painting, and relax before your BBQ dinner and shows.

Features

• A single 30-minute quad biking session lets you ride your own quad across the sand under supervision in a set desert area.
• At the camp, you can take a short camel ride to experience how people once traveled across the desert.
• Henna painting is offered at a small station inside the camp for those who want a temporary design on their hands or arms.

Dinner and live entertainment

What to expect

As night settles in, the focus shifts to food and performances. You sit down for your BBQ dinner, then watch a sequence of cultural and fire-based shows on the central stage before returning to the city.

Features

• BBQ dinner is served at the camp, with a selection of grilled items and sides laid out for guests.
• The entertainment program includes a belly dance show followed by a Tanoura show, where a performer spins in a multi-layered skirt.
• A fire show closes the evening with choreographed fire handling and tricks, before you are driven back to Dubai by shared 4WD.
