Desert Safari
Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner + 30 Min ATV Quad Bike
Our best-selling evening out: 25-30 minutes of dune bashing, a Bedouin camp at sunset, a 30-minute guided quad bike ride and an international BBQ buffet with three live shows, all for AED 375 per person with hotel pickup included.
6-7 hrs
Pickup included
Ages 5+
Al Awir, Dubai
Overview
This is the package most of our guests pick first: a full Dubai desert evening that starts with dune bashing and ends with a stage show, and folds in your own 30-minute turn on a quad bike partway through the night. You'll ride out from your hotel in a shared Land Cruiser 4x4, spend half an hour bashing the red dunes near Al Awir with a licensed driver, then reach the camp in time to watch the sun drop over the ridge line.
From there it's a slower pace: a camel ride, henna painting, Arabic tea and sweets, then the quad bike slot once the light softens. Dinner is an open BBQ buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes side by side, and once plates are down the stage takes over with three back-to-back shows. You're dropped back at your hotel, home or apartment around 9:30-9:45 PM.

Questions About This Tour
What time does the evening safari with the quad bike start?
Pickup runs 2:45-3:30 PM October to March and 3:45-4:30 PM April to September, and we confirm your exact window the afternoon before. You're back at your hotel around 9:30-9:45 PM.
Is the 30-minute quad bike ride included in the AED 375 price?
Yes, the quad bike segment is included in this package's price, guide-led, with helmet and goggles provided. If you'd rather skip the quad and keep the price lower, our Evening Desert Safari with Bedouin BBQ Dinner package runs the same 16-step evening without it.
What's the minimum age for the quad bike portion?
Riders need to be 16 or older to control a quad bike themselves. Younger children in your group still join the rest of the evening — camel ride, henna, camp and dinner — they simply sit out the quad segment.
Is dinner suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, the buffet lays out separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes side by side, along with salads, bread and dessert, so vegetarian guests have a full plate of choices rather than a single side dish.
Can I bring my own alcohol or is it sold at the camp?
Alcohol and sheesha are available to purchase at the camp for an extra charge on the night; outside alcohol isn't permitted on site.
How many shows are there in the evening?
Three: a belly dance performance, a fire show, and a Tanura spinning-skirt dance, all staged one after another around the central campfire area while you finish dinner.
