Overview

Our best-selling desert escape, and the easiest way for two people to experience the Arabian dunes without stretching the budget. Under the Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer, two guests share one headline price and still receive the complete evening programme - 45 minutes of red dune bashing, a golden-hour sunset stop, and a full night of Bedouin hospitality at our desert camp. The only difference from our standard package is that you make your own way to the camp, which is exactly how we keep the price this low. Guests self-driving from Dubai reach the meeting point in around 40 minutes, and free parking is available on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer actually work?

The advertised price covers two guests in full - both receive the identical programme, dinner and entertainment. There is no hidden second charge and no upgrade requirement. For odd numbers, the third guest is charged at the standard per-person rate.

Why is hotel pickup not included in this package?

This is the single reason the price is this low. Transport into the desert is the most expensive part of any safari, so by meeting us directly at the camp you keep that saving. If you prefer door-to-door service, our Evening Desert Safari includes free pickup and drop-off.

How do I reach the camp and is parking available?

We send exact GPS coordinates and a Google Maps pin by WhatsApp once your booking is confirmed. The drive from central Dubai takes roughly 40-50 minutes on paved road - no off-road driving is needed to reach us. Free secure parking is available at the meeting point.

Can I arrive later than 4:00 PM?

We strongly advise against it. The dune bashing convoy departs together and late arrivals may miss the drive and the sunset, though you can still join the camp programme. Message us if you are running behind and we will do our best to fit you into a later vehicle.

What should I wear for a desert safari?

Wear light, loose and comfortable clothing in breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen. Sandals or slip-on shoes are ideal because you will be walking on soft sand, and closed shoes fill up quickly. Bring a light jacket or shawl for the evening - desert temperatures drop noticeably after sunset, especially between November and February. Sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen are recommended for the daylight portion of the trip.

Is dune bashing safe for everyone?

Yes. All dune bashing is carried out by DTCM-licensed drivers with years of off-road experience, in fully maintained 4x4 Land Cruisers fitted with seat belts and roll protection. Drivers adjust the intensity of the drive to suit the passengers in the vehicle, so simply tell your driver if you prefer a gentler ride. Dune bashing is not recommended for pregnant women, guests with heart, back, neck or spinal conditions, or those who have recently had surgery.

Is the tour suitable for children and elderly guests?

Absolutely. Children of all ages and senior guests are welcome and join the tour every day. Infants and toddlers usually skip the dune bashing intensity - just request a gentle drive. Children under 3 years travel free of charge, and the camp has a supervised play area, so the safari works very well as a family experience.

Do you offer vegetarian, vegan or Jain food?

Yes. The BBQ buffet always includes a generous vegetarian selection - salads, grilled vegetables, hummus, fresh breads, rice and hot vegetarian dishes. Vegan and Jain meals are available when you let us know at the time of booking so the kitchen can prepare them separately.

Will I get motion sickness during the dune drive?

Some guests do feel light-headed during dune bashing. To minimise it, avoid a heavy meal in the two hours before pickup, sit in the front or middle row, keep your eyes on the horizon and take motion sickness tablets 30 minutes before the drive if you are prone to it. Your driver can slow the pace at any moment - just say the word.

What should I bring with me?

A fully charged phone or camera, sunglasses, sunscreen, a light jacket for the evening and a small amount of cash for optional extras such as quad bikes, souvenirs or beverages. Everything else - food, drinks, activities and transport - is arranged for you.

Can I pay by card, and when do I pay?

You can pay in cash, by credit or debit card, or online through a secure payment link. Most guests pay the driver on the day of the tour, so no advance deposit is needed for standard bookings. A 5% VAT and a 3% machine charge apply on card payments.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the scheduled pickup are completely free of charge. Cancellations inside 24 hours, or no-shows at the pickup point, are charged in full because the vehicle and camp seats are already reserved in your name. Rescheduling is free whenever seats are available.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Desert safaris operate all year round and light rain rarely affects the programme. In the rare event of a sandstorm or heavy rain that makes the route unsafe, we will contact you to reschedule to another date or issue a full refund - your safety always comes first.

Is alcohol available at the camp?

Alcoholic drinks are not included in the package but can be purchased at the camp bar where licensed. Unlimited soft drinks, water, tea and coffee are included throughout your visit.

Are there toilets and changing facilities at the camp?

Yes. The camp has clean, separate washrooms for men and women, plus wash basins and changing space. Prayer facilities are also available on site.

How do I book and confirm my seat?

Send us a WhatsApp message on +971 58 916 7880 with your date, hotel or area, and the number of guests. You will receive instant confirmation along with your mobile e-ticket and pickup window. No printing is needed - just show the e-ticket on your phone.
