Private Hummer H2 Dubai Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner
Buckle into a private Hummer H2 for an electrifying dune-bashing run into the Arabian sands, then trade adrenaline for an evening of barbecue, henna, and live shows at a private desert camp. This six-hour experience pairs off-road thrills with curated cultural moments—ideal for travelers who want a confident, contained introduction to Dubai’s desert.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose items
Wear a zipped pocket or small pack and secure phones/cameras during dune bashing to avoid losing gear in the sand.
Bring sun protection
Sunglasses, a wide-brim hat, and high SPF sunscreen are crucial—UV intensity remains high even late in the day.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication beforehand and sit where you feel most stable in the vehicle.
Respect dress and timing during Ramadan
Dress modestly in camp and expect reduced entertainment or no alcohol during Ramadan; ask about program changes when booking.

Conservation Note
Operators should stick to permitted tracks and licensed reserves—this limits erosion and protects endemic plants and wildlife; always carry out what you bring in.
