Question 1

Is there a guide on the Dubai Desert Safari Tour?

Accepted Answer

The Dubai Desert Safari Tour follows a fixed and well-organized schedule for all guests, so a separate guide is not required. Your driver speaks English and provides all necessary information and directions throughout the tour (such as break times, seating arrangements, and camp details). Guests can easily communicate directly with the driver, and any additional questions are answered on the spot. Since participants come from many different countries, communication is clear and simple, ensuring everyone enjoys the experience comfortably. Also, before and during the tour, our team stays in regular contact with you and provides assistance whenever needed.

Question 2

Is sandboarding included in the Dubai Desert Safari Tour?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sandboarding is included—free of charge—on the Dubai Desert Safari Tour and on all standard desert safaris. During the tour, there’s a stop at a scenic, well-sloped dune. Boards stored in the vehicle are prepared by the driver, and guests can take turns sandboarding. No prior skills are required; on soft sand it’s a safe activity and enjoyable for guests of almost all ages.

Question 3

Is there an age limit or child ticket policy for the Dubai Desert Safari Tour?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age for the Dubai Desert Safari Tour is 3 years. Children aged 3 and above are charged the same rate as adults. Children under 3 years old can join free of charge, provided they are seated on an adult’s lap. Children under 3 are not recommended to join the desert dune drive section of the tour. One adult may stay at the camp area with the baby if preferred. All safety measures are in place, and our drivers and staff provide full assistance to families during the tour.

Question 4

What is the difference between the Premium (VIP) and Standard Dubai Desert Safari packages?

Accepted Answer

Both packages include the same tour program. All activities such as 4x4 desert driving (dune drive), camel riding, sandboarding, traditional dance shows, and dinner are included in both options. The difference lies in the level of service and seating arrangement at the camp: Standard Package: Guests are seated in the general area of the camp. Seating arrangements may vary depending on the camp layout. Meals are served from a shared open buffet used by all guests. Premium Package: Guests are hosted in a reserved, more comfortable area within the camp. A separate open buffet is available for this section, offering a quieter and more relaxing atmosphere to enjoy dinner and the shows.
