Desert Safari

Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike

~6 hours, door to door Hotel pickup included Ages 2+ welcome Lahbab Desert, Dubai

The Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner is Dubai's classic full desert evening: a shared Land Cruiser picks you up from your hotel, tears across the red dunes of Lahbab for 25-30 minutes, then delivers you to a Bedouin-style camp for camel riding, henna, an all-you-can-eat BBQ buffet and three live shows. This specific package adds a 30 minute ATV quad bike ride at no extra cost, and the whole evening runs AED 375 per person including hotel pickup and drop-off.

You'll be collected from anywhere in Dubai or Sharjah in the afternoon, so there's no need to arrange your own transport. From the dune bashing through to the drop-off back at your door, everything is guided and included in one price.

  • Hotel/home pickup & drop-off included
  • 30 minute ATV quad bike included
  • International BBQ buffet, veg & non-veg
  • Three live shows: belly dance, fire, Tanura

Questions About This Tour

What is included in the Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner?

The price includes hotel pickup and drop-off, a shared Land Cruiser 4x4 transfer, 25-30 minutes of dune bashing, camel riding, henna painting, unlimited soft drinks, an international BBQ buffet dinner, and three live shows — belly dancing, a fire show and Tanura dance. A 30 minute ATV quad bike ride is also included in this package.

Is the 30 minute quad bike ride included in the price or an add-on?

It is included in the AED 375 price for this specific package — you don't pay extra for it. If you'd rather skip the quad and just do the classic safari, ask us on WhatsApp about our standard evening safari without the ATV add-on.

Can children join the evening safari, and is there a discount?

Yes — children aged 5 to 11 pay a reduced rate, and children aged 2 to 3 join completely free. Adults are 12 and above. Tell us the ages of everyone in your group when you book so we can confirm the right pricing.

Is alcohol included in the BBQ dinner, or is it extra?

Alcohol and sheesha are available at the camp but are charged separately from the tour price. Soft drinks, water, tea and coffee are unlimited and included at no extra cost.

What time will I be picked up, and does it change by season?

Pickup is around 2:45-3:30 PM in winter (October to March) and 3:45-4:30 PM in summer (April to September), with drop-off around 9:30-9:45 PM both seasons. We confirm your exact pickup time by WhatsApp the day before your safari.

What should I wear and bring for the evening safari?

Wear light, comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes, and bring sunglasses or a scarf for the dune bashing leg. Helmets and protective gear are provided for the quad bike section. Evenings cool down fast after sunset, so a light layer for later in the night is a good idea.
