Not sure which Abu Dhabi desert safari fits your trip? Here's the short version: want maximum thrill on a budget — go Evening Safari. Want a private experience for your family or group — go Private Safari. Have more time and want to wake up in the desert — the Overnight Safari is worth it. Every package below is broken down by what's included and what it costs, no surprises at checkout.
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.

Every Way to Experience the Abu Dhabi Desert
An Abu Dhabi desert safari is not just one ride — it's a menu of experiences you can mix and match. Here's the full picture of what's on offer across our packages.
Dune Bashing & Off-Road
The centrepiece of every safari — a 4x4 ride over the crests and valleys of the Al Khatim dunes. Prefer to be in the driver's seat yourself? Try our dune buggy or quad biking add-ons.
Camel Riding & Culture
A short, guided camel ride comes included in every package — the same way Bedouins crossed these dunes for centuries, paired with henna art and falconry at camp.
Sandboarding
Strap in and slide down a 30-metre dune — our sandboarding experience is included free with every safari, no snow required.
BBQ Dinner & Live Shows
Every evening and overnight package ends with a buffet BBQ dinner and live Tanoura and belly dance performances under the stars.
Overnight Camping
Not ready to head back? Our Overnight Desert Safari lets you sleep in a Bedouin tent and wake up to sunrise over the dunes.
Romantic Dune Dinner
For anniversaries and proposals, our Romantic Dune Dinner sets a completely private candlelit table for two on the dunes.

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.
