▸ Designed for families

What this package includes.

The Family Safari Package is the Evening Safari + BBQ programme bundled at a saver rate for the 2-adults-2-kids configuration. AED 870 total covers two adults at the standard AED 240 rate and two children at AED 195 each (saver rate; standalone child rate is AED 225). That's AED 60 saving over booking the same family on individual tickets.

Same programme as the standard Evening Safari. Hotel pickup, dune bashing, camel ride, sandboarding, BBQ buffet, belly dance, tanoura, fire show, henna painting, Arabic dress photo. No reduction in inclusions — only the price configuration changes for families.

Kid-friendly safari pace. Tell the driver at pickup that you have kids on board. The team uses the family route — gentler dune lines, slower speeds on transitions, less aggressive bashing. The standard route adjusts comfortably; first-timer kids and motion-sensitive kids handle the family route without issue.

What kids get from the camp. Henna painting, Arabic dress photo, kid-friendly buffet items (chicken, rice, pasta, fruits, dessert), unlimited soft drinks, and unstructured time at the sandboarding area. Most kids 5+ love the camel ride; under 5 we recommend skipping.

What to bring for kids. Closed shoes that cover the ankle (loaner pairs at the camp). Light jacket for evening — desert cools after 19:00 in winter. Water bottle. Kid sunscreen for the photo stops. Camera or phone for the photo opportunities. Camp has changing facilities.

Add an extra kid or adult. The package is built around 2A + 2C. Adding a third adult at AED 240. Adding a third child at AED 225 (standard child rate, not saver). Adding a fourth adult requires a second Land Cruiser — split into two cars.

▸ Best for which kid age

Pick by age range.

Kids 0-2. Free on parent's lap. Skip this package — book straight Evening Safari for two adults at AED 480. The free-lap rule covers any infant; no need to book the family configuration.

Kids 3-5. Family Package works. Camel ride is OK with parent on the same camel. Sandboarding skipped (wait for older). BBQ has kid-friendly options. Late-night programme can be tiring; book the morning Family Safari at AED 810 if your kid is on the early-bedtime side.

Kids 6-9. The sweet spot for the Family Package. Camel ride, sandboarding, BBQ buffet, henna, Arabic dress photo all engage actively. Dune bashing is enjoyable rather than scary at this age.

Kids 10-12. The Family Package still applies but consider the Evening + ATV upgrade — kids 13+ can ride the 220cc quad with parental approval. If your kid is right on 12-13, ask the team about quad eligibility.

Teens 13+. Pay adult rate. The saver doesn't apply. Consider Evening + ATV at AED 375 / pp for teens who want the quad experience.

Drove the Can-Am Maverick X3 out at Lahbab and it felt brand new — no rattles, sharp throttle, and the guide kept a proper pace up the dunes without ever losing sight of us.

Booked the evening safari with my in-laws and the BBQ camp exceeded expectations. Fire show and belly dance were a genuine highlight, not just filler.

Sunrise balloon flight was the calmest hour of our whole Dubai trip. Pickup was on time even at 4:30am, which I honestly didn't expect.

Took the 2-seater Polaris RZR for a 1-hour ride, first time ever driving anything off-road. Briefing was thorough enough that I stopped being nervous within ten minutes.

Our kids did the quad biking 90cc track while we took the Raptor 700 — genuinely worked for a mixed-age family group, nobody was bored or scared.

Camel ride at JBR beach with the skyline behind us made for the best photo of the whole holiday. Handler was patient with my grandmother getting on and off.

AAmara Nwosu

KTM 450 session at Lahbab was exactly what I wanted — real dune riding, not a padded beginner loop. Guide pushed the pace once he saw I could handle it.

WhatsApp booking took maybe four messages total. Confirmed same afternoon for a private evening Land Cruiser the next day.

Four-seater buggy fit my whole family for one price, which saved us from booking two separate 2-seaters. Guide was patient teaching my teenager the controls.

Second time booking with them, this time the deluxe balloon package with the falcon show after landing. Breakfast spread was better than most hotel buffets.

Morning desert safari with the ATV add-on was the right call for us — cooler temps, shorter day, and the quad section broke up the drive nicely.

NNadia Kowalski

Never driven anything with a roll cage before. The Can-Am X3 RS Turbo RR was a lot more buggy than I expected in the best way, big grin the whole ride.

BBenjamin Clarke

Sunset camel ride photos came out stunning, the light at that hour on the dunes is unreal. Worth timing the booking around golden hour specifically.

Yamaha 220cc quad was a great entry point for my wife who's never ridden anything before. Guide stayed right behind her the entire 30 minutes.

Private morning safari meant no waiting on other tourists, driver adjusted the route based on how much dune bashing our kids could actually handle.

2-hour Can-Am ride out to Fossil Rock was worth every extra dirham over the shorter slot, terrain out there is completely different from Lahbab.

Group of eight of us booked the multi-buggy convoy for a friend's bachelor weekend, lead and sweep guides kept everyone together without slowing the fast riders down.

Booked the Big Red location specifically for the steeper climbs and it delivered. Not a ride for a first-timer but exactly what an experienced group wanted.

Cancelled once due to a flight change and got a full refund with zero hassle since we gave more than four days notice. Good sign of how the whole business runs.

Al Qudra location was noticeably gentler than what friends described at Lahbab, made it the right pick for my first ever buggy session.

Went with the flagship 4-seater Can-Am for a family trip, kids loved it and the guide never rushed us between photo stops.

The premium hot air balloon combo with the Can-Am ride afterward made for a genuinely packed but well-organized day, transfers were seamless between the two.

Quad biking at Big Red with the Grizzly was the most physical thing we did in Dubai. Genuinely tired afterward in a good way.

Standard sharing balloon flight was calm and unhurried, exactly as described, no upsell pressure once we were airborne.

Turbo Polaris RZR gave noticeably more punch than the standard 1000cc we tried the day before, worth the upgrade if you've already got a baseline.

Evening safari BBQ buffet had a genuinely good vegetarian spread, not just an afterthought like some other operators we checked.

KTM dirt bike skill-check at the start was a fair way to gauge riders before letting anyone loose on the open dunes.

Fossil Rock 2-hour buggy route was the highlight of our whole trip to the UAE, rockier scenery than the usual red dunes photos.

Sunset camel ride combined with an evening safari afterward made for a full day out at Lahbab without feeling rushed.

Raptor 700 quad had real torque climbing the dune faces near Big Red, felt like a different activity entirely from the entry-level 220cc.
