Desert Safari by Bus in Dubai

Our Desert Safari by Bus is the most budget-friendly way to experience Dubai's red dunes without giving up any of the highlights. You'll travel out to the Lahbab desert in a shared, air-conditioned coach alongside other guests, then transfer into 4x4 vehicles for the dune bashing itself.

It's the same red-dune scenery, sandboarding and camel-farm photo stop as our premium safaris — just with shared group transport to keep the price down. A great pick for solo travellers, couples and budget-conscious families who still want the full desert experience.
