Understanding Safari
From budget-friendly group tours to exclusive private escapes, desert safari prices vary widely. We break down exactly what you pay and what you get, so you can choose the best value for your experience.

You Get What You Pay For
In Dubai, you can find safaris for 60 AED and safaris for 600 AED. The difference isn't just markup—it's the quality of the vehicle, the food, the camp hygiene, and the group size.
A ticket cost usually covers pickup/drop-off, the dune bashing drive, camp access, dinner, and shows. But 'how' these are delivered changes everything. Low-cost tickets often mean crowded buses, short exciting drives, and basic buffet lines. Premium tickets ensure 4x4 home pickup, extended dune bashing, table service dinner, and a less crowded, cleaner camp.
We believe in transparent pricing. Our standard packages sit in the 'sweet spot'—premium service without the exorbitant luxury price tag. We don't hide costs. When you book a ticket, you should know exactly if quad biking is extra (it usually is) or if water is free (it always should be).
Budget Range
Basic shared tours start from AED 100-150 (Self-drive to meeting point).
Standard Range
Full quality packages with pickup usually run AED 200-350 per person.
Premium/Private
Private cars and VIP service start from AED 800+ per vehicle.
No Hidden Fees
Our listed prices are final—no surprise taxes or service charges at checkout.
Transparent & Fair
We hate tourist traps. The price you see should be the price you pay. We don't lure you in with a $10 ticket only to charge you for water, sandboarding, or drop-off. We bundle the essentials into a fair price that safeguards quality and safety.
Commitment to no hidden charges

Value for Money
Why our pricing represents the best deal in Dubai.
No 'Shared Bus' Tricks
Some cheap tickets require you to board a bus to the desert. Our standard pricing includes 4x4 pickup directly from your hotel door.
One prominent way operators cut costs is by using buses to transport people to the desert, transferring them to 4x4s for 10 minutes, and then back on the bus. It's cheaper, but it kills the experience. Your ticket cost with us includes a Toyota Land Cruiser or similar 4x4 picking you up from your lobby and staying with you. You pay for convenience and comfort, and that's what we deliver.
High Quality Food
Food quality is the first thing to suffer in cheap packages. We invest in fresh, high-quality catering with live BBQ stations.
- Freshly grilled meats
- Authentic Arabic appetizers
- Vegetarian & Vegan options
- Unlimited soft drinks
- Hygienic preparation
- Dessert station included
The Safety Factor
Maintenance costs money. We meticulously maintain our fleet and train our drivers. A cheap ticket often means an older, less safe vehicle.
- Roll cages in all vehicles
- First aid kits on board
- Licensed professional drivers
- Insurance included in price
- Clean, sanitized interiors
- No overcrowding
