About this Tour

And we’re off! The comfortable Toyota Landcruiser drives up the 30 meter high dune and glides back down the other side. The desert safari adventure begins with “dune bashing”.

The vehicle drives you deep into the desert by going up and down at a brisk pace and with pure driving pleasure. The sand dunes look impressive as they shimmer in golden and brown tones depending on the position of the sun.

Tradition and the modern present – camels and powerful off-road vehicles – amazing sunsets with unreal play of light – barbecue under the stars in the open desert – safari in the land of Sinbad, the sailor.

The trip includes a visit to a camel farm and various photo stops. You can enjoy the sunset on the top of a particularly high dune before you reach the Bedouin camp.

In the desert camp you will have the opportunity to ride a camel, to try out sand boarding, to have henna painted on your hands and feet and to try shisha (the Arabic water pipe).

The barbecue will open soon after your arrival at the Bedouin camp and you will be able to enjoy an oriental dance performance: the belly dance.

Services at the camp included in the price are: soft drinks BBQ, henna painting, camel riding, smoking shisha and sand boarding. Note: alcohol is not included (extra price).

Olaf – Management

Dubai, in distant Arabia. Live and work here? In 2001 the time had come. I left my hometown Munich and moved to the Orient with beautiful beaches, endless deserts and locals who know how to preserve their traditions despite the rapid change. Dubai is still a fairy tale from 1001 nights in 2021.

CHECK all REVIEWS

Can I be picked up at Dubai Airport?

Yes, on this tour we will be happy to pick you up from the airport and also drive you back to the airport after the tour.

I’m coming by ship. Where will I be picked up?

We have a special entry permit for Port Rashid in Dubai. We will pick you up at the agreed pick-up time at the cruise terminal. When you get off the ship, you continue to the terminal. Our tour guide is waiting for you at the exit from the terminal, the so-called “exit gate”.

I live in the hotel. Where do I get picked up?

Please just be in the lobby of your hotel at the agreed pick-up time. We are guaranteed to find you :-). It is even better if you wait at the concierge / reception.

I am already in Dubai. How can I contact you?

Please ask at the hotel reception if you can briefly call a local number. Most hotels let you call us for free.

In Dubai the number is: 050/843 09 70. You can also write an email or an SMS. Be careful with calls from your own cell phone. The talks are very expensive.

Why should I give my room number?

The pick-up time for the particular tour can sometimes change slightly. If we know your room number, it’s easy to leave you a message. In addition, we will then know that you have arrived in Dubai.

Do I have to expect extra costs?

No, the food, non-alcoholic drinks, camel riding, smoking shisha, henna painting and, if desired, sandboarding – everything is included in the price – both in the morning and in the afternoon.

Only if you want to drive a quad or buggy with an external provider in the desert will there be extra costs. As a general rule: 30 min quad biking 200 AED p.p. (approx. 50 euros)

Safety? Do the drivers have any training?

Yes, the drivers have a special driver’s license that allows commercial driving in the desert. Driving in the desert is too dangerous without special training.

The vehicle is specially registered, approved for the desert and insured.

What clothes do you wear?

As a rule of thumb: summer clothes and sandals or sneakers – comfortable clothes. Especially in the winter months you also need a light cardigan or sweater in the evening.

The temperature difference between city and desert is minimal – for example city 30 degrees / desert 26 degrees. So it doesn’t get much cooler in the desert than in the city. You don’t need “sturdy shoes” because you spend a lot of time in the vehicle.

In the desert camp you can also run “barefoot”.

Do you drive “wild” during the safari?

You decide that all by yourself! It’s a private tour and you can tell if it’s getting too fast for you.

Is it dangerous to participate?

No, if you turn to trustworthy agencies, participation is not dangerous.

Tours into the desert take place in large numbers every day in Dubai and there are comparatively no more accidents than in road traffic in general.

Can I get behind the wheel myself?

No, that is not allowed. If you are driving, the vehicle is not insured. It is forbidden.

Note: Even if you rent a rental car in Dubai, you are generally not allowed to drive into the desert.

Is it possible to participate with small children?

Yes, toddlers can join this tour as it is a private tour. We have special child seats. Make sure to state the age of the children when booking.

AM (morning) or PM (afternoon/evening) ?

It depends on when you have the time. In the morning it is quieter in the desert.

There are a lot of cars on the way in the afternoon. If you don’t want to go to the Bedouin camp or have dinner, then book the safari tour in the morning.

Driving a quad or buggy, when do I decide?

You only have to decide this on site during the tour, not when booking.

Take a look at the various vehicles on site and then think about what you want to drive for how long.

Choosing a restaurant?

There are several small restaurants on the main roads around the desert. Talk to your driver about it if you want to eat there. You have all options in this regard.

You don’t have to make a decision when booking, but rather during the tour. Food and drinks are included in the price of the “afternoon” option both in the Bedouin camp and in the restaurants around the desert.
