This tour combines our two most popular Dubai tours at a special price: our complete Dubai tour and our desert safari with dinner and a show. Below you can see the details of each section of the tour.

Tour Details

At the indicated time, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Dubai to begin your tour of this fascinating city in the United Arab Emirates.

We'll first head to Jumeirah Beach and then we'll make a photo stop in front of the Burj Al Arab, the most luxurious hotel in the world. The tour of Dubai will then continue to the Blue Mosque, whose architecture is inspired by Andalusian and Ottoman art.

The next stop will be in Deira, the origin of Dubai. Here, we'll visit the two-star souks of the city: the Golden Souk and the Spice Souk. From there, we'll walk to the historic Al Fahidi district. In this district, we'll visit the Khayma Heritage House and have a cup of tea or coffee in one of the nearby establishments.

At the Khayma Heritage House, you'll have an hour and a half of free time to relax before we pick you up for the Desert Safari, between 1:30 and 2 pm. In the afternoon, once in the desert, our drivers will show their driving skills on the dunes, making the 45-minute drive an exciting experience.

After watching the sunset over the dunes we'll head back to the camp, where you'll have the option to ride camels, try shisha, wear traditional clothing, get a henna tattoo or just sit back and enjoy the starry desert sky. All activities are included!

Dinner will be a barbecue under the stars where you can try different types of meat, appetisers, salads and sweets typical of the region (there'll also be options for vegetarians). The final touch at the end of the evening will be various shows, including the famous Nashaat dances.

After dinner, we'll return to Dubai and finish this 13-hour tour by returning to your hotel or the port.

Schedule and Pickup

Please note that we'll pick you up at the hotel door between 8 am and 8:30 am.

There will be no pickup in the following areas: Al Quisas, Naif, Al Sabkha, Al Nahda, Merdif, Sport Motor cities, Dubai Investments Park, Discovery Garden, Jebel Ali, Ibn Battuta, Dubai Production City, Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Land hotels, Silicon Oasis, Al Barsha South, Al Maha Resort & Bab Al Shams.

Changes During Ramadan

During the holy month of Ramadan, you'll only be able to watch the shows in the desert camps. There will be some restrictions regarding the dancers and alcoholic beverages will not be served.

Additional Info

Children under 3 years old are not permitted to participate in dune bashing. However, they can wait in our air-conditioned tents at the meeting point with a parent while others enjoy the activity. Afterward, they will be picked up and transferred to the camp.
