Got Questions?

Desert Safari Abu Dhabi FAQs

Everything you need to know about your Desert Safari Abu Dhabi adventure. We've answered the most common questions to help you plan the perfect desert experience.

Yes, absolutely! It's a truly unique and thrilling experience you can have in the UAE. From the adrenaline rush of dune bashing to the tranquility of a majestic desert sunset, it offers a perfect blend of adventure and Emirati culture. You'll create unforgettable memories whether you're traveling solo, with family, or as a couple.
Tour duration varies by package. Morning safaris run for 4-5 hours (typically 8 AM - 1 PM), evening safaris last 6-7 hours (3 PM - 10 PM), and overnight experiences extend from afternoon until the next morning. All timings include convenient hotel pickup and drop-off from your location in Abu Dhabi.
Prices vary by package and group size. Our popular evening safari with BBQ dinner starts at AED 199 per person and includes live entertainment. The morning safari (4-5 hours) is AED 180 per person. For the complete experience, our overnight desert camping is AED 399 per person with breakfast included. Private tours and family packages are available at discounted rates.
The best time depends on your preferences and the season. October to April offers the most pleasant weather (20-30°C). Morning safaris are ideal for cooler temperatures, wildlife spotting, and stunning sunrise photography. Evening safaris provide the full cultural experience with sunset views, traditional dinner, and live entertainment under the stars. Summer months (May-September) are extremely hot, so morning tours are recommended.
Our standard packages include 4x4 dune bashing, camel riding, sandboarding, Arabic coffee (Gahwa) and dates, and depending on the tour, a lavish BBQ buffet dinner with live belly dance and Tanoura performances. All tours include hotel pickup and drop-off, safety equipment, and refreshments. Our experienced guides ensure your safety and provide insights into Bedouin culture.
Yes, we recommend booking at least 24-48 hours in advance to secure your preferred date and time slot. During peak season (November to March) and weekends, booking 3-5 days ahead is advisable as tours fill up quickly. You can book online instantly or contact us via WhatsApp for immediate confirmation.
Yes! All our packages include complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off from anywhere in Abu Dhabi city. Our driver will contact you the evening before to confirm your exact pickup time, which is typically 30 minutes before the tour start time. We use comfortable, air-conditioned 4x4 vehicles for your journey.
We recommend comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and sandals or closed shoes. If you're going for an evening or overnight safari, bring a light jacket as desert temperatures drop significantly after sunset during the winter months. Sunglasses and sunscreen are essential. Avoid wearing white clothing as the desert sand can be dusty.
Desert safari is suitable for all ages! However, children under 3, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic back, neck, or heart conditions are advised to skip the dune bashing for safety, opting for a gentle desert drive instead. Please inform us in advance if you have any health concerns so we can accommodate your needs.
Your safety is our priority. In case of severe weather conditions (rare in Abu Dhabi), we'll contact you to reschedule at no extra cost or provide a full refund. Minor weather variations rarely affect tours, as the desert climate is generally stable and predictable. We monitor conditions closely and will keep you informed.
Most desert safari sites in the Al Khatim region are located about 45 minutes to an hour drive from Abu Dhabi city center. The journey itself is comfortable and scenic. We provide door-to-door hotel pickup and drop-off in our specialized 4x4 vehicles, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
Yes! Our BBQ buffet dinner includes a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options, from fresh salads and hummus to traditional vegetable curries and lentil dhal. Please inform us of any dietary requirements when booking, and we'll ensure your needs are met. We can also accommodate gluten-free and other special dietary requests.
