Booking a desert safari ticket in Dubai from India sounds simple, but it’s not as easy as people think. There is a huge difference in desert safari prices between the tour agents in Delhi and the local safari operators in Dubai. In this guide, I will explain the entire booking process from India, how you can save money, how to choose the best desert safari deals, and how to choose the best safari operators. I will share my booking experience, so you have a lot of information.

Booking Online vs. On-Arrival: Which is Better?

I have heard this common question from many travellers from India: Should I book my desert safari from India or in Dubai after landing? The answer is very clear to those people. If you want peace of mind, you can book from India; if you want to save up to 30% on your money, you can book with local operators.

Mostly indian know about the international platforms like TripAdvisor or Klook, or want the ease of mind, so they book with tour agents or intermediaries in big cities like Delhi and Mumbai. By this, you can overpay by up to 30%.

And if you book your desert safari with local operators after arriving in Dubai, you can save money. The booking process is simple: you can contact desert safari operators via WhatsApp, review the packages, and ask them to book.

How much desert safari cost in INR?

Many travellers are confused about the pricing: should they pay in INR or AED? The answer is simple: if you book through the tour agent in India, he will charge you in INR and take a heavy commission. While if you book after reaching Dubai, the budget desert safari starts from AED 50 per person, in which pickup and drop off are by shared bus, while in 80 AED per person, pickup and drop off in a shared 4 by 4 vehicle.

There are different types of desert safari Dubai deals you can choose from by exploring the desert safari website. You can choose based on your preference.

What is included in Desert Safari Packages?

Almost all desert safari packages include the basic desert safari activities like dune bashing, sandboarding, camel riding, sunset photography, and camp activities, like BBQ dinner and live shows. Some desert safari packages include a quad bike ride, a dune buggy option, and VIP seating at camp. You can add these items to your package for an additional charge.

Food Options for Indian Tourists

In the desert safari dinner, there are multiple options such as veg and non-veg. You can choose based on your preference. There are different types of salad, samosa, and biryani. At the end, you can taste the Dessert. If you choose the best safari operators, you can find the best quality food; otherwise, in a cheap camp, you will usually experience low-quality food.

Desert Safari Safety Tips

If you are coming with your parents or a pregnant woman, please ask the driver to drop you directly at the desert camp. You do not go dune bashing because you can face difficulties.

Best Time for Indian to Visit Desert Safari

It is my recommendation if you are planning to visit Dubai. You can come in winter from September to March. It is the best weather to enjoy the Dubai trip along with the desert safari. In summer, the desert becomes too hot, and you will not enjoy the desert safari tour as you do in cooler months. Choose your desert safari Dubai outfit wisely. Please wear light, bright clothes. In the cold months, take your jacket, coat, or shawl with you.

How to choose the best company?

Before booking, please check the company’s reputation and whether it is DTMC verified. Check the company’s recent reviews from customers. If someone is offering very low prices, do not book with them. At the end, you will find a crowded camp with very low-quality food that can ruin your whole experience.
