Full description

A red dune safari out at Lisaili with the full camp evening, and a choice of how you cross the sand: as a passenger, on a quad bike, or in a dune buggy.

That choice is made at the option stage and it changes both the price and the day. Passenger is the standard safari. A quad is exposed and physical. A buggy has a roll cage and a wheel and is the easier self-drive option.

The camp evening is the full one: camel ride, archery, henna, a BBQ buffet dinner and live shows.

Six hours, with transfers included depending on which option you select — worth checking, because the cheaper tiers assume you make your own way to the meeting point.

This is one of the better-value full evenings in the Dubai desert, and Lisaili is far enough out that the camps are less crowded than the ones closer to the city.

⚠️ Read your tier before paying. Dinner, the shows and the transfer are all option-dependent here, and the headline price is the entry tier rather than the full experience. Tell us what you want included and we will confirm exactly which option covers it.

  • Transfers included (based on the options selected)
  • Camel ride
  • Archery
  • Henna hand painting
  • BBQ buffet dinner
  • Desert fort-style camp
  • 2 soft drinks + unlimited water
  • Fire show live entertainment
  • Dune buggy and quad bike rides (based on the option selected)
  • Desert Safari (based on the option selected)

Excludes

  • Belly Dance Shows will not be performed during Ramadan

The place is beautiful, the most cozy desert show experience we’ve had. Staff is super kind and attentive, and we appreciated they were kind to animals. The only thing is all the extras we needed to pay for, even juices didn’t count as soft drinks, so we actually didn’t use our coins. Still, we’ll definitely bring our guests over for desert experience.

Our tour guide - Hycent was fantastic. He was friendly and knowledgeable and took great care of us. My husband has a severe wheat allergy - and Hycent went above and beyond to ensure that my husband received gluten free meals. He also offered to take many photos of us - which we were so appreciative of. Highly recommend this activity.

We really enjoyed the experience. It is very well organized. Kaleem Asgahar picked us up at the hotel and from there we went to the Fort. There is a short ride with a camel, a nice show and a very good buffet.

Good option if you have family or friends visiting and want to show them the desert with camel rides and arabic food & entertainment. The sunset dunes were really nice and staff were excellent.

Frequently Asked Questions

One thing worth flagging: dinner, shows and transfers are all tier-dependent — we confirm yours first. It is the detail guests most often miss on this experience, so it is better read now than discovered on the day.

We confirm your booking with the operator before we take it as final, and we need at least one day's notice for anything outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
