Best Activities to Expect on a Private Safari Tour
Here are some top activities you can participate in with your group on a Private desert safari Dubai tour:
Private 4×4 Dune Bashing
One of the most popular private safari activities is dune bashing. In this activity, a Landcruiser or any other popular four-wheel drive vehicle is driven at high speeds over bumpy and rough desert terrain. It is an exciting and thrilling experience, as one would expect. You may feel as if you are riding a roller coaster.
On a private tour, the guests have a separate vehicle reserved just for their group and a dedicated guide. They can also choose the route to travel on and duration as well. There is an option for both self-drive or hiring a driver for yourself.
ATV Quad Biking
An all-terrain vehicle, or ATV, is a four-wheeled vehicle designed to drive over rough desert surfaces. As with dune bashing, this experience is similar, but perhaps even more thrilling since the vehicles are open, thereby allowing one to feel the sensation of the wind striking one’s face.
Quad bikes provide an excellent opportunity to practice your driving skills while seeing the scenic beauty of the region.
These bikes should not be operated by children under 15 years old. Only experienced drivers should operate them. If you are unfamiliar with them, you may wish to ask one of the tour guides available on the site for assistance.
Sandboarding
A popular adventure tourists like to try while on a private desert safari is sandboarding. The sport is similar to snowboarding, but it takes place in a completely different environment. Using a wooden or special board, the surfer attempts to maintain balance as they descend from a steep dune.
Rather than going to the sea, one can enjoy skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing on a desert safari trip in Dubai.

Camel Riding
Desert safari tours also feature a variety of cultural activities, enhancing the overall experience. Most visitors enjoy camel rides, with these slow and bumpy rides taking them back to the days when camel riding was the primary means of transportation for the locals in these areas.
Campsite Entertainment
On the cultural side, the campsite entertainment shows of private safari tours are very popular in Dubai. The shows include mesmerizing dance performances such as Tanoura and belly dances, along with spectacular fire performances. Following a busy day of safari activities, one can finally relax at the campsite while viewing the evening performances.
Some other highlights of the campsite include henna painting sessions, falconry shows, and Arabic dress photography.
BBQ Buffet Dinner
Following a desert safari activity, visitors are usually exhausted and extremely hungry. Well, the good news is there is a freshly prepared and delicious BBQ dinner available at the campsite for ready-to-eat.
When the entertainment activities conclude, guests can enjoy delicious BBQ dishes prepared by expert chefs outside the camp. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian dining options are also available.
Conclusion
The private safari tour is no doubt one of the most exciting and fun activities to enjoy on a trip to Dubai. These are the main highlights of the tour and what you can expect on this exciting trip. For more information and guidelines please contact Luxury Desert Safari.
