Abu Dhabi Desert Safari Tours From a Local Al Khatim Team
Off Road Tourism has run Abu Dhabi Desert Safari Tours since 2010. We are a small local company based in Al Khatim, about 45 minutes from the city — and we plan to stay local.
Local Since 2010
Our team grew up around the Al Khatim dunes. We started with one 4x4 and a simple idea: show guests the desert we love, the right way. Today we run morning, evening, overnight and private safaris every day of the week.
Rated 4.8 Stars by Guests
We hold a 4.8-star rating from more than 350 Google reviews. Guests often mention our friendly drivers, clean vehicles and on-time pickups. We read every review and act on it.
One Desert, Done Well
We only work in Abu Dhabi. That focus means we know the Al Khatim dunes better than anyone — the safest driving lines, the best sunset spots and the quietest camp locations.
How We Run Every Tour
We do not buy seats from other operators. Our own drivers, our own 4x4 vehicles and our own camp team run your trip from pickup to drop-off. Before every tour we confirm your pickup time and driver details on WhatsApp, so you always know what to expect.
- Our own licensed safari drivers — never outsourced
- Our own 4x4 fleet, checked before every trip
- WhatsApp confirmation with pickup time and driver name
- Free pickup from hotels, homes and Abu Dhabi airport
Our Safety Approach
Dune bashing is exciting, and we keep it safe. Tyre pressure is set for the sand before every drive. Seat belts are worn at all times. Our drivers carry first-aid kits and stay in contact with the camp team.
Travelling with children or nervous first-timers? Tell us when you book. Your driver will slow the pace, and our Private Desert Safari gives you full control of the ride.

Our Mission

An Abu Dhabi desert tour offers much more than sightseeing — it is a close look at Emirati heritage. Walk across golden dunes, take beautiful photos and watch traditional performances like the Tanoura dance and fire shows. As night falls, relax in a Bedouin-style camp over a BBQ dinner under the stars.
First-time visitors and returning travellers both love the mix of adventure, culture and comfort — it is a must-do experience on any UAE trip. Explore our full range of Abu Dhabi desert safari packages or read our desert safari guides before you book.
Beyond the classic evening and morning safaris, we run the full spectrum of desert experiences: dune buggy tours, standalone quad biking sessions, sandboarding, camel rides, and a private romantic dune dinner for couples marking a special occasion. All of it runs from our Al Khatim desert base, roughly 45 minutes from central Abu Dhabi.
Off Road Tourism is based at Al Khatim, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and operates Open Daily: 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM. Reach us anytime on +971582056363 or via WhatsApp.
