Is tipping included in the price?

Tipping is common in Dubai's service industry but not compulsory. For a desert safari driver who stays with you for 6-7 hours, handles the driving, deflates tires, guides you at camp, and drops you back, a tip of AED 20-50 per person is a nice gesture if you felt the service was good. Camp staff (waiters, henna artists) also appreciate small tips.
