What to Expect on an Evening Desert Safari in Dubai
The evening desert safari is an evening filled with some amazing moments brought together by thrilling activities, entertaining programs, leisure attractions, and more. You can go for a desert safari tour or a combo package like Dubai city tour with desert safari, where you get to enjoy the numerous delights of Dubai city before heading towards the fascinating desert of the city.
No doubt the evening safari is packed with adventures and activities. Be it desert safari with quad biking, camel riding, or sandboarding, you will have the time of your life here. But rather than being swept away by the events around you, the desert safari is also a time to enjoy the raw beauty of the desert and soak in its serenity and quietude. The sunset is one of the best times to just admire the changing colors of the sky and the sand.
Even if you are not fond of adventures and thrills, the desert safari would not fail to mesmerize you. There are entertainment programs and cultural activities that would keep you from getting bored. Then there is the food that is one of the main reasons people go for the desert safari. Comprising both Emirati and international dishes, the Dubai desert safari offers a mouthwatering 3-course meal.
An Evening Desert Safari Journey
Our Evening Desert Safari is carefully planned to give you the most memorable desert experience. Here's what to expect from your adventure:
This desert safari tour includes transportation. A driver will be waiting outside your hotel or residence at the appointed time. After around a 45-minute drive, you reach the outskirts of the desert.
Once you arrive at the desert, you transfer into a different vehicle, mostly a 4x4 with deflated tires. Dune bashing is the next agenda. You will experience a thrill as compared to the rollercoaster rides of theme parks, as the driver maneuvers the vehicle up and down the desert dunes. Once you enjoy the rollercoaster-like dune bashing session, the vehicle will take you to the desert camp.
More adventures await you at the desert camp. You can try your hand at sandboarding and enjoy riding on a camel as well. If you have opted for desert safari with quad biking, you will get to ride a quad bike or an ATV over the desert dunes.
After you are done with the adventures, enter the desert camp and enjoy some refreshments. You would be served light snacks and cool beverages to replenish the energy you spent while indulging in all the desert adventures.
A beautiful desert sunset awaits you next. Witness the setting sun spreading its orange colors on the golden sand, giving it a mesmerizing hue. Do not forget to take your camera and take some gorgeous photos.
Step into the desert camp brimming with fun activities. You can choose to hold the regal falcon in your hand and click some pictures that would look cool on your social media pages. Sit with the henna artist who would happily paint a beautiful henna design on your hands. You can also wear some traditional outfits available at the camp (kandura for men and abaya for women) and get some photos taken.
As darkness descends in the desert, you will be treated to two of the most amazing dance performances by a belly dancer. A Sufi dance show is also a part of the entertainment program. You will also be able to enjoy Sufi music, Khaliji show, dabka and drummers show, and fire shows during the desert safari.
Dinner service also begins at the same time. Dinner at the desert includes BBQ dishes, a main course filled with local and international dishes, and delicious desserts. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes are available at the desert dinner.
At the end, you will be driven back to your hotel or residence in Dubai in the same vehicle that took you to the desert.

We booked a desert safari evening trip and it was an amazing experience for us. We did it for the first time so we were a little hesitant as to how it would go and about all the arrangements and all, but it was a very smooth experience. There were absolutely no glitches and we had a amazing evening. The pick up from our hotel to the drop off was all very smooth. Special thanks to Naveed who was driving us in the Land Cruiser and who took us dune bashing. Extremely polite and professional guide and a very good dune badger ( if that’s a thing) . The evening was amazing with good food and everything was arranged well a perfect experience for us. We would definitely not hesitate even once to book through this agency again. Thank you to the entire team for the amazing experience. Cheers and keep up the good work.
