Private Desert Safari Dubai
Your own 4x4, your own driver, your own pace
Overview
A fully private Land Cruiser, a flexible schedule and the ability to skip any activity you don't want. Ideal for families, small groups and guests who value privacy.
The Private Desert Safari gives you sole use of a 4x4 with up to six seats. You can request a later pickup, longer photo stops, a quieter section of the desert or a custom dinner table at the camp. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which makes it competitive once you are travelling as four or more.

Frequently asked questions
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. A 6-seater Land Cruiser is the same price whether 2 or 6 guests are travelling.
Can you accommodate a marriage proposal or birthday?
Yes — this is one of the most popular reasons guests choose the private tour. Tell us at booking and we will arrange a private table, decoration and cake.
