Desert Safari Dubai Price & Ticket Cost

A standard evening desert safari is AED 120–240 per adult booked direct, with hotel pickup included — the lower end is the shared evening tour, the upper end the premium tier. Self-drive quad bike sessions run AED 200–450 per adult, and dune buggies AED 300–475 per person depending on which buggy you take. Private city tours are priced per vehicle for the whole group instead. Every package page shows the exact total for your group size before you pay, and every figure here comes live from our booking system.

The standard evening desert safari, at AED 120 per adult — it's shared and priced per person, and the rate already includes hotel pickup, dune bashing, the Lahbab camp with BBQ dinner and live shows, and drop-off. A self-drive quad bike or dune buggy session can cost less for a short adventure, but those are rides rather than a full evening safari with dinner.

There's no ticket as such — you book a package, and the per-person rate in the table above covers the 4x4, the camp, dinner and the shows. That's the same figure you'll see at checkout, and nothing is collected when you arrive. Camel rides and sandboarding are included; the falcon photo is a paid extra at the camp, and quad bikes or buggies are added on top if you want one.

Evening safaris pick up 2:00–3:00 PM from October to March and 2:30–3:30 PM from April to September, run 6–7 hours, and drop you back around 9:00–9:30 PM in winter or 9:30–10:00 PM in summer. The morning safari collects you at 6:00–7:00 AM and takes about four hours. Standalone quad sessions run 7:00–7:30 AM year-round with an afternoon slot as well. Overnight trips leave 3:30–4:00 PM and return by roughly 9:00 the next morning. We confirm your exact pickup window 24 hours ahead by WhatsApp or email.

It depends on the tour. Evening and morning desert safaris and both city tours include hotel pickup in the listed price. Self-drive quad bike and dune buggy sessions don't — you drive to the meeting point yourself, or add a private car pickup for AED 450 per group.

On per-person tours, children have their own lower rate and infants are usually free. On per-vehicle tours (dune buggies, private city tours) the price covers the whole vehicle, so kids simply count toward the seats — infants ride free.

No. The price you see at checkout is the full price — it includes the activities listed on the package page. Optional extras (quad bike rides at the camp, private pickup at AED 450, sandboard sessions) are shown with their own prices before you add them.

The morning desert safari price works differently from the evening one: it's a flat rate per 4x4, not per person, because the vehicle is private to your group (up to 6 people). Check the live table above for the current figure. Split between four or five of you, morning often comes out cheaper per head than the evening safari, and the dunes are far quieter.

Both are in the live table above. Quad bike sessions are priced per rider for a 30 or 60 minute slot. Dune buggies are priced per buggy, so a 2-seater costs the same whether one or two of you ride, and you drive it yourself. Quad rides at the desert camp can also be added to any evening safari as an add-on, which is cheaper than booking a separate session.

You can pay online with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link at checkout. Want to pay cash instead? Message us on WhatsApp first — cash bookings are confirmed manually. You can cancel or move your date up to 24 hours before pickup, so booking early doesn't lock you in.

Most desert safari websites are resellers who add a commission on top of an operator's rate. We run the tours ourselves, with our own Land Cruisers and our own camp at Lahbab, so the prices here are operator-direct with no middleman margin.
