Itinerary
Your Dubai Desert Safari with Quad Biking starts with a hotel pickup in a shared 4x4 Land Cruiser (upgrade to private transfer available). Relax during the 45–60 minute drive as you leave behind the glittering Dubai skyline and luxury resorts, heading toward the famous Lahbab Red Dunes. This region is one of the best spots for a sunset desert safari in Dubai, offering stunning views and the start of your desert adventure.
Once you reach the Lahbab Desert meeting point, the excitement begins. Take a short break to freshen up in the restroom facilities while your guide prepares the 4x4 for dune driving. This package already includes an adventurous quad biking session in Dubai, where you’ll ride a powerful all-terrain vehicle (ATV) across the towering red sand dunes. It’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and Instagram-worthy desert photos. If you want even more thrill, you can upgrade to a self-drive dune buggy at this stop. Pre-booking is highly recommended, as buggies are extremely popular and often sell out. Whether you stick with the included quad bike ride or upgrade, this stop guarantees unforgettable desert adventure moments.
Next, get ready for dune bashing in Dubai’s red sand desert, as your expert driver takes the 4x4 up and down steep dunes for a thrilling rollercoaster-style ride. After the excitement, try sandboarding on golden desert slopes, a fun activity suitable for both kids and adults. You’ll also enjoy a short camel ride in the Dubai desert, the most traditional way to experience the Arabian sands. As the sun sets, the desert glows with shades of gold and red, making it the best time for sunset desert photography. If falcon photography is included in your package, you’ll get the chance to pose with this majestic bird; if not, it’s available on-site for a small fee.
After the activities, continue to a 5-star Bedouin-style desert camp in Dubai. Be welcomed with Arabic coffee, fresh dates, and snacks before exploring cultural highlights such as henna painting, flavored shisha in a lounge area, and dressing in traditional Emirati attire for photos. Try another short camel ride around the camp area or simply relax in majlis-style seating under the starlit desert sky. Dinner is a highlight of the evening — a lavish Arabic BBQ buffet in the Dubai desert, offering vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, fresh salads, and Arabic sweets. To finish your night, enjoy live desert entertainment shows, including belly dance, Tanoura folk dance, and fire performances. Afterward, your driver will drop you back at your hotel, completing your unforgettable Dubai Desert Safari with Quad Bikes, Camel Ride, and BBQ Dinner.

We had a fantastic time during our desert safari in Dubai, and a special compliment goes to our wonderful guide Nawaz. From the first moment he stood out for his punctuality, friendliness and warm personality. He made the whole experience comfortable, cozy and absolutely unforgettable. Our adventurous afternoon started with a spectacular buggy ride across the desert full of adrenaline, speed and fun. Then we got back in the beautiful, sturdy and clean car of Nawaz, who took us on an awesome dune bashing experience. What a thrill! We laughed, screamed and enjoyed ourselves intensely. His driving skills are really impressive you have to have experienced it to believe it! Then he drove us to the top of a high sand dune, just as the sun was setting. The view was magical and perfect for beautiful pictures. We also got the chance to sandboard, which was a wonderful and unique experience. In a word: WONDERFUL! We ended the evening in the desert camp, where we were completely taken by the atmosphere, the entertainment, the delicious dishes (we had such a good meal!) and the nice extras such as henna and souvenirs. Everything was perfectly taken care of. It was our last day in beautiful Dubai, and we couldn't have asked for a better goodbye. Highly recommended and if you can, be sure to ask for Nawaz. He really completes the experience.
