Why the price of Desert Safari varies
The cost of your desert safari in Dubai will depend on its timing, tour inclusions, and seasonal variation.
Duration of desert safari
Tour companies take tourists into the desert for safaris all through the day.
Morning desert safaris are customized for extreme adventure and usually last only four hours.
Evening desert safaris last seven to eight hours, including a BBQ dinner.
That’s why evening desert safaris are costlier than morning safaris.

- Dune Bashing

- Sand Boarding
- BBQ Dinner
- Camel Riding

Dubai desert safaris are costlier, including Dune Bashing, Quad Biking, Dune Buggy riding, and BBQ Dinners.
The other activities are included with all safari tours.
Seasonal variation
Desert safaris are cheaper on weekdays and lean seasons as with other tourist activities.
However, the discounts on safaris come at a price because the weather can be scorching during lean tourist seasons.
