Things to do in Dubai

Dubai is a metropolis in the UAE, rising from the desert along the Persian Gulf. Once a small port, it has transformed into a ultra-modern city. Dubai weather is hot and dry, with cooler months from November to April for desert safaris, rooftop dining, and beach days. Shopping is a major draw—Dubai Mall, one of the largest in the world right next to the towering Burj Khalifa, offers endless retail and entertainment. The Palm Jumeirah stretches into the sea, home to luxurious resorts and beach clubs. For sweet lovers, Dubai chocolate is a must-try and makes a great souvenir too. From sandy adventures to sky-high views and world-class shopping, Dubai never stops dazzling.

Reviews: Dubai Desert Safari Day Tour [Popular Desert Camp + Sunset + Camel Ride + Performances + Dinner]
Guest User2026-02-15
The driver, a young Arab man, picked us up at the hotel promptly at 2:30 PM in a 7-seater SUV. Our family of three was picked up along the way, along with two other foreigners. My 1.75-meter-tall son had to stretch his legs diagonally in the last row. Thankfully, the drive only took about 50 minutes. At the rest areas and campsites, many enthusiastic Arabs tried to sell paid services. If you don't want something, be sure to say "NO" immediately. Don't be shy and end up being tricked into buying something. We booked a group tour for a little over 500 RMB per person. Overall, the activity was quite interesting, adding a new dimension to the Dubai desert adventure. The activity ended around 8:30 PM, and the vehicle returned to the hotel. We arrived around 9 PM, showered, and went to bed. The Ctrip customer service provided continuous WeChat support throughout the trip – a big thumbs up! 👍

After booking, the tour group and guide will contact you via WeChat and WhatsApp, which is very convenient. In the morning, the guide will drive directly to the hotel to pick you up, and then you'll rest and have something to eat at the meeting point. Then, the guide and some shops will start pushing various sales pitches (desert off-road vehicles, various drinks and food). However, there is no forced consumption, so it's acceptable. Then, you'll drive to the desert for dune bashing. I suggest not eating too much before dune bashing, or you might really throw up. After dune bashing, you'll stop in the desert for a while to take photos. The first thing you see when you arrive in the desert isn't endless sand, but endless cars... various commercial activities, followed by another round of sales pitches (eagle photos, sandboarding...). Some passersby tried to sell me sandboarding, but I found out that sandboarding is free if you hire your own guide. Be careful not to get ripped off. After playing for a while, the guide will take us to a nearby place to fill up the gas tank and inflate the tires. Then, they'll ask if we need to use the restroom because it's an hour's drive to the camp. Then, when we go to the restroom, we'll be bombarded with sales pitches from various shops and passersby (souvenirs, various food and drinks, coconut juice...). After driving to the camp, the guide will take us to take photos of the desert sunset, which is very beautiful. Then, at the camp entrance, as expected, there was a huge wave of sales pitches (paid horseback riding, camel riding). Horses are fine; you can ride them anywhere. Camels are available for both free and paid rides. The free ones are inside the enclosure where you can sit and take photos. Of course, the camels won't stand up; take it or leave it, nobody cares. The paid camel ride initially cost me 60 dirhams, but after some haggling, I got it down to 50, and finally 40. The paid camel ride was definitely much better for photos, and the results were much more professional. It felt worthwhile. The vendor will lead the camel for a short walk, taking photos and videos for you. After that, you enter the camp. Remember to bring extra clothes, otherwise it gets very cold at night. Inside the camp, if all goes well, there will be another round of sales pitches (pay extra for VIP seats, hookah, souvenirs, alcohol). There are also free videos available, and food and performances at the end of the day.

Our day trip was fantastic! Our guide/ driver were very nice and helpful. The best part was the desert 4wheeling and sunset sandboarding. Lots of beautiful pictures. The dinner show was fun too! Even the buffet food was quite delicious with the BBQ and fresh made roti! Great value for a half day experience. Pleasing my husband and teenage daughter were not easy and we all had smiles on our faces!

Recommended to go. So apparently you will be shared with only 6 pax in a MPV instead of a bus. So it’s less packed . Driver cum tour guide Mr Vicky Ali is very helpful and knowledgeable. Great trip
