Overview

Short on time but still want the thrill of the dunes? The Half Day Desert Safari Dubai gives you the best part of the desert – dune bashing on the red dunes – in just three to four hours. It is our most affordable desert safari and is popular with travellers on a stopover or with dinner plans in the city.

After hotel pickup, your driver takes you for around 30 minutes of dune bashing, then you try sandboarding, visit a camel farm and catch the sunset from the top of the dunes before heading back to Dubai in the early evening.
