Explore Desert Safari Dubai — off‑road thrills and Bedouin traditions
Just beyond Dubai’s skyline, rolling red and golden dunes stretch to the horizon.
A desert safari combines 4x4 dune bashing, peaceful camel rides, quad bike loops over the sand, sandboarding, and cozy evenings in a Bedouin‑style camp with dinner and shows.
Whether you choose a gentle family tour or a high‑adrenaline off‑road adventure, it’s one of Dubai’s most iconic experiences..

How to get to Desert Safari Dubai
Most desert safaris include hotel pick‑up in a 4x4 from central Dubai. You can also drive to a designated meeting point or book from major tourist hubs like Dubai Marina, Downtown, or Deira.
By Train
Take the Dubai Metro (Red Line) to central stations such as Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Internet City, or Business Bay, then meet your safari operator’s shuttle or arranged pick‑up point nearby.
By Car
If your tour offers self‑drive to the meeting point, follow the operator’s GPS coordinates toward Lahbab Desert or Al Marmoom. A standard car is usually enough to reach the asphalt meeting point; dune driving is handled by your professional 4x4 driver.
By Bus
Use Dubai’s RTA buses or metro to reach common pick‑up areas (for example, near major malls or hotels). Your tour confirmation will list exact bus‑friendly stops or landmarks.
On Foot
You can’t walk to the desert from the city — the dunes are far out and the sun is strong. Instead, meet your guide at the confirmed pick‑up spot; from there, you’ll continue by 4x4 into the desert.
Why experience a Dubai desert safari
Adventurous dune drives, peaceful camel rides, scenic sunsets, and cozy Bedouin‑style camps — all in one unforgettable outing.

Dune bashing & off‑road 4x4 adventures
Strap in as your expert driver navigates steep dunes, thrilling drops, and sweeping desert ridges. It’s a roller‑coaster on sand, with time to pause for photos when the dunes glow gold at sunset.
Camel rides & Bedouin‑style camp

Quad bikes, sandboarding & sunset views
Take control with a quad bike session over specially marked dunes, glide down sandy slopes on a board, and watch the sun sink behind the desert as colors shift from fiery orange to deep blue.
