UAE · WILDLIFE
The good wildlife tours go early in the season and the cheap ones are cheap for a reason. Below: 7 of them, what is included and how they differ.
Watch sunrise over Dubai’s desert, ride the dunes, spot Arabian oryx, sandboard, and enjoy breakfast beside Al Qudra Lakes.
“Very knowledgable guide lots of info. Camel ride was great”
Track Arabian oryx and gazelles in Dubai’s conservation reserve, then enjoy a gourmet Al Maha breakfast on this gentle five-hour safari.
“Great tour. Majeet our guide was awesome and informative. Definitely worth doing to see more of Dubai than just the city. Breakfast at Al Maha has many options with a desert view.”
Ride Dubai’s dunes, try sandboarding, spot Arabian oryx, and visit Al Qudra Lakes on a private 4x4 desert outing.
“The driver was excellent - courteous and very friendly. The sandboarding was disappointing. As a good snowboarder, I was disappointed with the speed you could reach and also the hike back up to the top of the hill was tiring. The dune bashing was OK but nothing special. A long way to go for what it was, would be OK if you were interested in doing this at the start of the day and follow it with other activities.”
A four-hour Dubai desert tour with dune bashing, sandboarding, oryx and gazelle sightings, Al Qudra Lakes, breakfast, and hotel pickup.
“Wonderful driver who made sure the experience was just wjat we wanted. The dune bashing was fun, being in the desert was the experience of a lifetime, and we loved breakfast by the lake. We saw gazelle, turkeys!, flamingos, ducks, storks, black swans .... The best excursion of the whole holiday.”
Watch sunrise over Dubai’s desert, spot gazelles and oryx, ride private dunes, sandboard, and enjoy Arabic coffee with a picnic breakfast.
“Perfect trip. Great guide & driver. We managed to see the oryx and the gazelles and were perfectly on time for the sunrise. Loved the dune bashing as well. Highly recommended!”
Ride camels through Dubai’s desert, spot oryx and gazelles, and enjoy a seasonal lakeside breakfast with hotel transfers included.
“I’m so happy, I could see and ride a camel today … it was such a nice experience :) I was the only one who booked this tour today and so I got a private tour just for me. That was really cool. My guide Perera picked me up at the hotel and drove me to the desert reservation, showing me lots of things along the way and giving me interesting information. The camels were already waiting there. They were so gentle and curious…super cute :) It was definitely a highlight for me and I can highly recommend the tour and the guides :) I’m hoping to do another tour…”

“Our driver was on time; the vehicle was new and clean. We saw wild oryx and gazelles in the dunes. The sand boarding and breakfast were excellent.”
Pick a dune, a deck or a dinner.
