The Abu Dhabi Desert

Landscape, Heritage & Wildlife of the Al Khatim Dunes

The Abu Dhabi desert is one of the most striking landscapes in the world — rolling red-gold dunes that stretch from the edge of the city all the way to the empty quarter. Off Road Tourism runs every Abu Dhabi desert safari tour out of Al Khatim, a stretch of dunes chosen by our founding drivers back in 2010 for exactly one reason: it makes for the best photos and the smoothest dune bashing ride within 45 minutes of the city.

Beyond the thrill rides, the desert carries real Bedouin heritage. Our camps recreate traditional Emirati hospitality — Arabic coffee (gahwa) and dates on arrival, henna painting, falconry displays, and authentic Tanoura and belly dance performances after dinner.

Got Questions?

Abu Dhabi Desert Safari — Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in an Abu Dhabi Desert Safari?

A standard Abu Dhabi desert safari with Off Road Tourism includes hotel pickup and drop-off, 4x4 dune bashing, a short camel ride, sandboarding, Arabic coffee and dates on arrival, and a BBQ dinner with live Tanoura and belly dance shows at our desert camp.

What is the best time for a desert safari in Abu Dhabi?

Evening desert safari is the most popular because you get dune bashing in daylight, a sunset over the dunes, and dinner under the stars. Morning safari is best in summer since the desert is cooler before 10 AM.

Is Abu Dhabi desert safari safe for families and beginners?

Yes. Our drivers are licensed, experienced local Emiratis, and every 4x4 vehicle is safety-checked before each trip. We also offer a smoother Private Desert Safari option for families with young children or nervous first-timers.

How much does a desert safari in Abu Dhabi cost?

Prices start from AED 149 per person for the Evening Desert Safari and go up depending on add-ons like ATV rides, VIP seating, dune buggy or an overnight camp stay. Check our Packages page for the full, transparent price list.

Can I book a private desert safari in Abu Dhabi?

Yes, our Private Desert Safari gives you your own vehicle, driver, and pickup time — with no other guests sharing your ride — ideal for couples, families and small groups who want more flexibility.

What should I wear on an Abu Dhabi desert safari?

Light, breathable clothing and closed shoes work best, with a light jacket for evening or overnight trips since desert nights get cool. See our full packing guide for details.
