What is a Hummer desert safari in Dubai?

It is the classic evening desert safari with one change your group will remember: the dune bashing is in a Hummer H2. Wide, heavy and loud, it makes the red dunes feel bigger. After the drive you get the same camp evening as every guest, with a camel ride, BBQ dinner and three live shows.

It is priced per person with a minimum of 5 guests. Smaller group? Book a private Land Cruiser instead.

FAQs

Hummer desert safari FAQs.

Quick answers to the questions groups ask most before booking a Hummer desert safari in Dubai.

What is a Hummer desert safari in Dubai?

It is our evening desert safari with the dune bashing done in a Hummer H2 instead of a Land Cruiser. You ride the Lahbab Red Dunes, about 45 km from Dubai, then enjoy sandboarding, a camel ride, sunset photos, a BBQ dinner and live shows at our camp.

How much is a Hummer desert safari in Dubai?

The Hummer Desert Safari costs AED 299 per person, with a minimum of 5 guests per booking. A group of 5 pays AED 1,495 in total.

Why is there a minimum of 5 guests?

Each Hummer runs for one group, so we need at least 5 guests to run it. For smaller groups, the Private Desert Safari at AED 799 per vehicle gives you a Land Cruiser to yourselves.

How many people fit in one Hummer?

We plan 5 to 6 guests per Hummer. Larger groups use more than one vehicle.

What time is pickup and how long does it take?

Pickup is 2:00 to 2:30 PM in winter and 3:00 to 3:30 PM in summer, and you are back around 9:00 PM. Plan for 6 to 7 hours in total.
