Why Choose the Standard Desert Safari?
The Standard Desert Safari in Dubai is more than just a tour — it’s a complete desert adventure that blends thrill, tradition, and comfort in one package. Unlike a typical sightseeing trip, this safari takes visitors deep into the heart of the desert, where golden dunes stretch endlessly and the evening breeze adds a refreshing touch.
One of the highlights of the safari is the chance to experience the desert at sunset, when the landscape transforms into a breathtaking panorama of colors. It’s the perfect moment for photography, relaxation, and appreciating the natural beauty of Dubai beyond its skyscrapers.
For travelers seeking both excitement and authenticity, the Dubai Desert Safari is an ideal choice. The standard package offers an accessible way to enjoy everything the desert has to offer — from adrenaline-filled rides to cultural performances — while being guided by professionals who prioritize safety and comfort.
For travelers who want more variety during their stay, this safari can be combined with a Dubai City Tour & Attractions for a complete desert-and-city experience.
Thrilling Adventures in the Desert
No trip to Dubai is complete without the excitement of dune bashing. Skilled drivers take guests on a thrilling ride across towering dunes, turning the desert into a natural rollercoaster. The rush of climbing steep sandy slopes and sliding down at speed makes Dubai Desert Safari Dune Bashing the heart of every safari experience.
For those who prefer a slower pace, a camel ride offers a glimpse into traditional desert life. Known as the “ship of the desert,” the camel allows visitors to travel the way Bedouins once did while enjoying panoramic views of the golden sands.
Adventure seekers can also try sandboarding, gliding down soft slopes on a board — a fun activity suitable for beginners and pros alike. For even more excitement, optional upgrades like quad biking or driving a dune buggy give guests the freedom to explore the terrain at their own pace.
Don’t forget the photo stop, where travelers capture the stunning backdrop of the desert during the golden hours. Whether standing beside the dunes, with a falcon perched proudly on the arm, or simply admiring the horizon, these moments become some of the most cherished memories of a desert trip.
Cultural & Traditional Experiences
Beyond the thrill of the dunes, the Standard Safari offers a taste of authentic Arabian culture. Guests are welcomed into a traditional-style camp where relaxation and entertainment come together under the open sky.
One of the most popular highlights is the Fire Show, where skilled performers light up the night with dramatic stunts and dazzling flames. Equally captivating is a traditional dance show, a colorful folk performance that symbolizes devotion and heritage.
For those who enjoy body art, henna painting provides a chance to adorn hands or arms with intricate temporary designs, a tradition passed down through generations. Meanwhile, the aromatic experience of shisha smoking adds another layer of relaxation, allowing guests to unwind while enjoying the desert breeze.
Hospitality is central, with Arabic coffee and dates offered as a warm welcome. Guests interested in exploring heritage further may also choose the Abu Dhabi City Tour & Attractions to see the UAE’s cultural capital.
For guests seeking to explore more heritage beyond the desert, our Sharjah City Tour is a perfect choice, showcasing museums, souks, and historic architecture.
Dining Experience Under the Stars
After the adventures and live shows, guests are treated to a delicious feast in a beautifully decorated desert camp. The highlight is the BBQ dinner, freshly prepared and served in an open-air setting. From tender grilled meats to vegetarian specialties, there’s something to suit every taste.
Alongside the barbecue, a generous buffet offers a mix of Middle Eastern and international dishes, ensuring that guests enjoy a variety of flavors. To keep everyone refreshed, unlimited Mineral Water is included throughout the evening, complemented by traditional refreshments like Arabic sweets and dates.
