Dubai Desert Safari Tickets: What Each One Includes and Costs
A Dubai desert safari ticket is a place on an evening trip: a dune drive in a 4×4, a camel ride, sandboarding, a BBQ dinner and three live shows at a Bedouin-style camp. What changes from one ticket to the next is how you reach the camp and who shares your car. You can buy tickets online, pay on the day, and the price on every card above already includes our current discount of up to 30%.
The four decisions behind every ticket
Per person or per car
A shared ticket is sold per person and a private car per car. Five shared hotel pickup tickets cost USD 205 (AED 750), so a private car at USD 190 (AED 699) is lower from five guests. For two or four guests, shared tickets are lower.
How you reach the camp
Self-drive guests meet our 4×4 at the meeting point near Al Awir. The shared bus leaves from eight stops, four in Dubai and four in Sharjah. Hotel pickup and both private cars collect you from your hotel or home and take you back.
Which camp
Our Dubai camps are at Al Awir, about 50 to 55 minutes from the city, and Lahbab, about 1 hour 10 minutes away. We name the camp when we confirm. The camel farm stop belongs to the Lahbab side only.
What costs extra
Quad bikes, dune buggies, VIP seating, a falcon photo and professional photos are paid on top of the ticket. Every price is in the extras table below, so you can total your night before you book.
How to Compare Dubai Desert Safari Ticket Prices Across Providers
Looking for the best desert safari deals, or trying to compare Dubai desert safari ticket prices across providers? Put every offer through the same ten checks, ours included. The lowest figure on a listing often covers a shared seat only, with dinner, activities or pickup sold separately.
Comparing us with Klook, GetYourGuide or Viator for the same night? Match the ticket type, the price unit and the pickup first, then compare the number. A shared seat and a private car are different products even when the headline prices look close. When you book direct, you get the camp, the pickup time and the exact total in writing before you commit.
Desert Safari Tickets in Dubai: Price, Time and Best Season
The Dubai desert safari tickets price starts at USD 10 (AED 35) per person, and you can book desert safari Dubai tickets online by sending your date and guests on WhatsApp. Evening desert safari Dubai tickets are our standard product. Desert safari Dubai VIP tickets are the same evening with premium seating added for USD 14 (AED 50) per person.
Many guests start with desert safari Dubai tickets Klook listings or a Go Dubai desert safari tours tickets page, then ask us for a direct quote. The camp, the pickup and the extras are where offers differ, so compare those first. Lahbab Dubai desert safari tickets take you to our red dune camp, about 1 hour 10 minutes from the city, and Lahbab is one of the best known stretches of sand for dune driving in the emirate.
Plan to give the whole afternoon and evening to the trip: pickup, the drive, the dunes, sunset, dinner, the shows and your drop-off. The cooler months from November to March are the most comfortable for the dunes. On the night you can ride the dunes, take sunset photos, try a camel ride and sandboarding, get henna, and watch the shows over dinner.
Dubai Desert Safari Ticket Offers: What Up to 30% Off Really Covers
Looking for desert safari Dubai tickets offers? Ours is simple. Every price on this page already includes the current discount of up to 30%, which runs for a limited time. There is no coupon to chase, so the figure on the card is the figure you pay on the day.

If another quote looks lower than ours, ask what is missing from it: the dinner, the shows, a private car replaced by a shared seat, or a pickup that is not included. Guests in Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Al Ain can message us for a quote on WhatsApp.
Extras and Add-On Prices for Your Ticket
These are paid on top of any ticket, on the day. Camel ride, sandboarding and henna are included, so they never appear here.
Full details sit on our VIP desert safari Dubai, quad biking in Dubai and dune buggy Dubai pages.
Tickets for Desert Safari in Dubai: Which One Suits Your Group
Dubai desert safari for family tickets
Children under 3 go free and from age 3 the adult price applies. A private car keeps the family in one vehicle, with six guests and a seventh seated, and the camp has shade, drinks and toilets for small children.
Couples and friends
The shared hotel pickup ticket at USD 41 (AED 150) is the usual choice for two to four guests. You are collected from your hotel, share the 4×4 with other guests and are dropped back after dinner.
Solo travellers
The shared bus at USD 14 (AED 50) is the lowest ticket with transport, and hotel pickup is the step up. Both put you at the same table, the same shows and the same dune drive as everyone else.
Groups of five or more
Five shared hotel pickup tickets come to USD 205 (AED 750), above one private car at USD 190 (AED 699). The Land Cruiser at USD 272 (AED 999) adds space for a group that wants comfort.
Guests with a car
The self-drive ticket at USD 10 (AED 35) suits visitors with a rental or their own car. We send the camp pin on WhatsApp when you book, and you join the same dinner and shows.
Dubai Safari Park Tickets Are Not Desert Safari Tickets
Dubai Safari Park is a wildlife park in Al Warqa with its own entry fee and opening hours. A desert safari is an evening in the dunes. If you searched for Dubai desert safari park tickets and want the dunes, the dinner and the shows, you are on the right page. For the wildlife park, use the park’s own ticket channels.
Evening, Morning, Overnight, VIP or Private: Which Ticket Type
This page is for buying the standard evening ticket. Each variation has its own page, so you can read the full plan before you choose.
The evening desert safari Dubai page has the full plan for the night. The morning desert safari Dubai is a private run, priced at USD 272 (AED 999) per car. A tent and breakfast sit on the overnight desert safari Dubai page, and premium seating on the VIP desert safari Dubai page. For a car just for your group, see the private desert safari Dubai page, and for the full list of prices, see Dubai desert safari price.

- DinnerHalal Arabic and Indian BBQ buffet with belly dance, tanoura and fire show, then your drop-off.
Three things we tell every ticket buyer
- Total your group before you choose. From five guests a private car costs less than shared tickets, and a family of six sits together.
- Tell us about health conditions before you book. If you are pregnant or have back, neck or heart conditions, skip the dune drive and go straight to the camp for dinner, shisha, shows and sunset.
- Dress for sand. Light clothing and flat or closed shoes, with a layer for after sunset from November to March.
Three Ticket Mistakes to Avoid
Most disappointed guests did not choose a bad safari. They bought the wrong ticket for their group.
- Comparing a shared seat with a private carmeans one of them looks far cheaper than it is; compare the total for your whole group instead.
- Paying a deposit to a seller you cannot nameputs your money at risk; with us there is no deposit, and payment is on the day.
- Assuming extras are includedleads to a surprise at the camp; quad bikes, buggies, VIP seating and photos are listed above with prices.
Not sure which ticket fits? Send your date, guests and hotel on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly.

If we have to cancel, what happens?
A cancellation policy that covers your obligations but not ours is only half a document. Here is our side of it, in writing.
If we have to cancel your booking, for weather, a vehicle issue, or driver illness, we will contact you as soon as we know and rebook you at no charge on the next date that works for you. You pay nothing for the cancelled booking.
If we need to send a different vehicle than the one you booked, we will ask you first rather than turning up in something you did not book.
This is separate from your own cancellation rights, which are unchanged: you can cancel free up to 12 hours before pickup. Because we take no deposit and no booking fee, there is no money of yours sitting with us either way, nothing to chase, and nothing to wait for.
