How to Find the Best Desert Safari Deals in Abu Dhabi
Everyone wants the best Abu Dhabi desert safari deals, but the cheapest listed price isn't always the best value. Here's how to actually compare offers before you book.
Book Early For Better Rates
Operators, including us, often price early bookings lower than last-minute ones because it helps us plan vehicles and camp capacity. Check our Offers & Deals page for our current early-bird and group discounts.
Compare What's Actually Included
A lower price sometimes means a shorter ride, no dinner, or a shared vehicle with a much larger group. Before comparing prices across operators, check whether hotel pickup, dinner, and shows are included — our packages page lists every inclusion transparently so there are no surprises at checkout.
Group Bookings Save More
If you're travelling with six or more people, ask about group rates — we offer a standard discount for larger bookings on any package.
Off-Season Timing
Summer months (May-September) often carry lower prices industry-wide due to lower tourist demand, even though the desert is still very much open for morning and evening safaris.
Know the Real Prices Before You Compare
A deal only looks good if you know the normal rate. Here are our standard prices as a reference point:

- VIP Desert Safari — AED 199
- Morning Desert Safari — AED 250
