Private Hummer Desert Safari & BBQ Dinner in Dubai — Dune Bashing, Camel Ride & Sunset
Drive high-red dunes in a private Hummer H2, then settle into a desert camp for camel rides, sandboarding and a BBQ dinner at sunset. This guided afternoon-to-evening safari mixes off-road thrills with cultural entertainment and practical comforts.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book for late afternoon
Schedule a pickup 2–3 hours before sunset to get optimal lighting for photos and to avoid the peak midday heat.
Protect electronics from sand
Use ziplock bags or a dry pouch for cameras and phones—fine sand can ruin ports and lenses.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Dune crests and hot sand require proper footwear for sandboarding and walking to the camp.
Hydrate before and after
Bring and drink water even if bottled water is provided—driving and wind accelerate dehydration.

Conservation Note
Many operators now avoid sensitive conservation areas and limit night-time fires; bring out all trash and follow guide instructions to reduce erosion and disturbance.
The Dubai desert was historically a grazing and camel-trading landscape; modern safari experiences translate old travel routes into recreational drives and cultural demonstrations.
