Not every traveller wants the same desert. Some want speed and sand in their hair. Others want a cushion, a cup of karak and a sunset. Some want both. That's why we've built a range of desert safari packages Abu Dhabi visitors can choose from, each with its own timing, pace and price.
Below you'll find every package we offer, what's included, and who it suits best. If you're still unsure, message us on WhatsApp and we'll point you in the right direction in a couple of minutes.

Shared vs Private Desert Safari Packages
Shared packages are the most affordable way to enjoy the dunes. You join other friendly guests in the 4x4 and at camp. Private packages give your group its own vehicle and driver, with flexible timing and a ride tailored to you. Families with young children, older travellers and couples often find the private option well worth it. Either way, the activities, safety standards and camp experience are the same high quality.
