Is hotel pickup included?

Yes — comfortable air-conditioned transfers to and from your hotel or residence anywhere in Dubai are included. Share your location at checkout and we'll confirm your pickup window.

Is this trip suitable for children?

Yes. Children aged 2–10 travel at a reduced price, and little ones under 2 aren't counted at all. The camp is spacious and family-friendly, with camel treks, sandboarding and plenty of room to explore.

Do you cater to vegetarians?

Yes — the BBQ feast includes a full vegetarian and non-vegetarian spread, salads, grills and desserts, along with soft drinks, tea and coffee.

What time do the safaris run?

The classic evening safari runs roughly 3:30 PM–9:30 PM (exact pickup times vary by area), and dinner is served at the camp in the evening. The sunrise trek and overnight camp run on their own separate schedules — check each package for exact times.

Where does the caravan set off from?

Our desert camp sits off Al Fagga Road, near the Dubai–Al Ain Road. With hotel transfers included, there's no need to drive yourself — we'll collect you and bring you home.
