About This Tour — Shared Luxury Evening Desert Safari

Shared Luxury Evening Desert Safari — identical dune bashing, an upgraded evening at the camp, for AED 50 more per person.

Let me be straight about what this upgrade is and is not. The desert part does not change: the same Land Cruiser or Patrol, the same run out on the Dubai–Hatta Road (E44), the same 30 minutes of red-dune bashing across the Al Badayer Red Dunes at Big Red, the same high-dune photo stop, sandboarding and short camel ride. If the drive is all you care about, book the standard evening safari and keep the AED 50.

What the upgrade buys is the three hours after sunset. You get an upgraded setting at our Al Badayer Desert Camp — better seating with more room around it, an extended refreshment service and an upgraded BBQ dinner served alongside the full entertainment programme: Tanoura spinning, belly dance and the fire show. For couples, for a birthday, or for anyone who does not want to eat elbow-to-elbow at a long communal table, that is where the money goes.

It is still a shared desert safari, so the 4WD carries other guests. Want both the upgraded camp and your own vehicle? That is the private luxury evening safari.

FAQs

Shared Luxury Safari — common questions

What is the difference from the AED 150 safari?

The dune bashing is the same 30-minute red-dune run. The upgrade is on the camp side — a more comfortable evening setting for guests who still want a shared departure.

Do I still share the 4WD?

Yes. If you want the vehicle to yourself, book the Private Evening Safari at AED 800 or the Private Luxury Evening Safari at AED 1,300.

Can I upgrade on the day?

Subject to availability. Weekends and the winter season fill first, so booking ahead is safer.

Is the camel ride included?

Yes, a short camel ride is included. Longer camel experiences can be arranged — ask the team before you book.
