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.

Want to make your trip even better? These extras can be added to most of our desert safari packages in Abu Dhabi:

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.

With 20 years in the dunes, we've refined every one of our desert safari packages based on real guest feedback. That's why our timings work around the sunset, our dinners are generous and our drivers know when to push and when to ease off.
