GO DXB — book, explore, experience

Desert Experiences experiences across the UAE

The desert safari is the UAE's signature experience, and the gap between a rushed budget trip and a well-run private one is enormous. GO DXB grades every package by camp size, vehicle, dinner standard and how much time you actually spend in the dunes.

Desert Experiences guide

Broadly there are three families of trip. Morning and sunrise safaris are short, cooler and dune-focused, with no dinner. Evening safaris — budget, standard, premium, VIP and luxury — combine a dune drive with a camp, entertainment and dinner, and differ mainly in camp size, seating and vehicle sharing. Overnight safaris add a tent, dinner, stargazing and a sunrise. Pickup ranges from 45 minutes before departure for shared vehicles to an exact time slot for private ones. Conservation-reserve camps in Al Marmoom and the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve run stricter environmental rules and smaller groups than the open-desert camps at Lahbab.
