About this tour
Turn the desert safari into your group's experience. A private air-conditioned 4WD picks you up and takes your family or friends into Al Badayer for red-dune bashing, sandboarding and sunset photography before the evening continues at the desert camp. Because the vehicle is private, your group gets more privacy and a more comfortable journey without sharing the 4x4 with unrelated guests.
Step by step
- Step 1
Private pickup
Your own 4WD collects your group from one address in Dubai. No other guests, no extra stops.
- Step 2
Arrive at Al Badayer
The vehicle is prepared for soft sand near Big Red, and the guide runs the safety check.

Red-dune bashing
Around 30 minutes across the red dunes. Tell the guide how much movement your group wants — gentle or full.
- Step 4
High-dune photo stop
Step out on a scenic ridge for photographs across the Al Badayer desert.
- Step 5
Sandboarding and camel ride
Camp activities at your own pace rather than the convoy's.

Shared or private?
The per-person maths
A private 4WD is priced per vehicle, so the bigger your group the better it looks.
| Guests | Shared seats (AED 150 each) | Private vehicle (AED 800) | Private per head |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 300 | 800 | 400 |
| 3 | 450 | 800 | 267 |
| 4 | 600 | 800 | 200 |
| 5 | 750 | 800 | 160 |
| 6 | 900 | 800 | 133 |
Shared luxury seats are AED 200 each, which moves the crossover down to four guests. Private also buys privacy and a calmer journey, which the table cannot price.
FAQs
Private Evening Safari — common questions
How many people fit in a private 4WD?
Up to six guests, including children who occupy a seat. For larger groups we send additional vehicles at the same per-vehicle rate.
Is private worth it for a family of five?
Usually yes. Five shared seats cost AED 750 against AED 800 for the whole vehicle, and you gain privacy and a calmer journey for AED 50.
Can the driver go gently for children or older guests?
Yes — tell the guide at the dune entry point rather than halfway through. A gentle private drive still crosses the dunes, it simply avoids the steepest movement.
Can we choose our pickup time?
Private safaris have more flexibility than shared departures. Send us your preferred time on WhatsApp and we will confirm what is possible for that date.
