Own Car Desert Safari Dubai

The Own Car Desert Safari allows you to explore Dubai’s desert in your own vehicle, following a guided route with expert instructions. It includes dune driving tips, a visit to a desert camp, optional sandboarding, camel rides, and cultural activities.

The safari usually lasts 4–6 hours, starting in the afternoon and concluding in the evening. This timing allows you to enjoy dune driving, sunset views, and evening activities at the desert camp.

No prior experience is needed. A professional guide provides safety instructions and driving tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable desert adventure, even for first-time drivers.

Guests can enjoy dune driving in their own vehicle, sandboarding, camel rides, henna painting, falconry displays, traditional dance performances, and stargazing at the desert camp.

The safari is generally suitable for most ages. However, dune driving may not be recommended for pregnant women, elderly guests, or individuals with back, neck, or heart conditions. Alternative camp activities are available for those guests.

Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes suitable for driving and walking in sand. Sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen are recommended. Bring a jacket for cooler desert evenings.
