Burj Khalifa Visit Plus Dubai Desert Safari: Afternoon Dune Drive, Camel Farm & BBQ
Pair a high‑speed ascent at the Burj Khalifa with an afternoon desert safari that moves from camel farms to dune driving and a BBQ camp. This half‑day combo blends modern Dubai with its desert edge—expect sand, stars and authentic cultural performances.
The Experience
Before You Go
Timing for Burj Khalifa
Arrive at the At The Top entrance before 13:00 as required; plan to return to your hotel immediately after your visit for the safari pickup between 15:00–15:30.
Hydrate and protect
Bring a reusable water bottle and broad‑spectrum sunscreen; desert sun is intense even in late afternoon.
Footwear for sandboarding
Closed‑toe shoes with good traction will make sandboarding and walking on dunes easier and protect from hot sand.
Medical caution
The dune drive is bumpy—avoid this tour if you have neck, back or cardiac issues and use the available infant seats if travelling with babies.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Early camel‑farm visits for close, uncrowded photo opportunities
- •A low dune ridge near many camps offers quiet stargazing away from the main seating area
Wildlife
- •Desert fox (or red fox variants)
- •Desert hedgehog and occasional migratory birds
Conservation Note
Stick to marked vehicle tracks and do not feed wildlife—vehicle traffic and litter are the main local impacts, and water use in the region is a sensitive resource.
The Burj Khalifa, completed in 2010, symbolizes Dubai’s rapid urban expansion; the surrounding desert has been shaped by millennia of wind and Bedouin stewardship.
