How do I confirm my desert safari booking?
Once you submit your booking request, our team will contact you within 2 hours via email or WhatsApp to confirm your reservation and share payment details. Your booking is only confirmed after you receive a written confirmation from us.
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes. Pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle is included from hotels and residences in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the safari date receive a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be rescheduled at no extra charge, subject to availability. No-shows are non-refundable. If we cancel due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, you will receive a full refund or a complimentary rescheduled date.
Is desert safari suitable during UAE summer months?
Yes, we operate year-round. During summer (June–September), safaris depart a little later in the afternoon. The camp itself is open-air with fans and shaded seating, and the evening temperature is significantly more pleasant than the daytime heat.
Can you accommodate large groups and corporate events?
Absolutely. We regularly host corporate outings, team-building events, product launches, and group tours for up to 300+ guests, with fully customised setups, branding and dedicated areas. Contact us directly for group quotes.
Is alcohol served at the desert camp?
In accordance with UAE cultural norms, our standard desert camp is alcohol-free. Soft drinks, fresh juices, water, Arabic coffee and non-alcoholic mocktails are available throughout the evening, all included in your package price.
What happens if there is a sandstorm or bad weather?
If weather conditions make the safari unsafe, we will notify you at least 2 hours before departure and offer a full refund or complimentary rebooking at no charge. Your safety always comes first.
Are there age or weight restrictions for dune bashing?
Children under 4 should not participate in dune bashing. There is no upper age limit, but we ask that all guests disclose any serious health conditions at the time of booking so we can accommodate them properly.
What should I wear on a desert safari?
Light, loose clothing with long trousers rather than shorts (sand gets everywhere), closed shoes or sandals you do not mind getting sandy, sunglasses and a light jacket in winter evenings, when the desert can feel cold.
How far is the desert from Dubai?
Our evening safaris drive to the Al Lahbab red dunes, about 45 km (around 45–60 minutes) south of central Dubai.
Is there vegetarian food at the camp?
Yes. The BBQ buffet always includes vegetarian dishes, salads, rice, Arabic bread, hummus and desserts. Tell us about allergies when booking.
Can pregnant guests join a desert safari?
Pregnant guests should skip dune bashing, but can enjoy every camp activity, the shows and dinner. Let us know when booking and we will arrange a gentle drive.
What time is pickup for the evening safari?
Afternoon pickup is usually between 3:00 and 3:30 PM, with return to your hotel between 9:00 and 10:00 PM. In summer, departures are a little later. We confirm your exact time the day before.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Cash (AED), credit/debit card, bank transfer, or an online payment link on request.
