Frequently asked questions

How much does the Private Night Safari and Astronomy cost?

A private vehicle starts from AED 2,990 for 1 to 2 guests, then AED 3,300 for 3 guests, AED 3,600 for 4 guests, AED 3,900 for 5 guests, AED 4,200 for 6 guests, AED 4,510 for 7 guests, AED 4,800 for 8 guests and AED 5,100 for 9 guests; these prices are for the whole vehicle, not per person, and there is no separate per-person rate for this tour. Higher rates apply from 24 Dec 2026 to 6 Jan 2027, starting from AED 3,440 for a private vehicle with 1 to 2 guests and rising to AED 5,860 for 9 guests.

Is this a private tour?

Partly. Your vehicle and the nature safari are private throughout, but the dinner and the activities at the camp are shared with other guests, so the camp is not arranged for your group alone.

What time is pickup and when do we return?

Pickup in Dubai is between 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM depending on the season, with the exact time confirmed on the afternoon of the day. The return to your hotel is between 10:00 PM and 11:30 PM. The operator quotes the evening as about 5 hours in one place and 6 hours in another, so allow about 5 to 6 hours in all.

What if it is cloudy?

If cloud or poor visibility hides the stars, the astronomy session becomes an astronomy talk instead of a telescope viewing. Whether the sky is clear enough for the telescope depends on the weather on the evening.

What wildlife might we see?

On the nocturnal eco-walk you look with torches for night-time desert creatures; the operator names sandfish and scorpions as examples. Sightings are never guaranteed, and your Conservation Guide will tell you what is around on the evening.

What is dinner like, and can dietary needs be catered for?

Dinner is a three-course meal prepared on site at the torch-lit camp, served with drinks such as Arabic coffee, mineral water, juice and tea. The operator's published menu lists dishes such as fattoush, hummus, kibbeh, Arabic spiced chicken, Angus steak and vegetable moussaka. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and kosher-style meals are available; tell us any dietary needs or allergies when you request the tour so they can be passed on before the day.

Can we stay overnight or add a balloon flight?

From 1 November to 30 April you can add an overnight stay: a night in a private Arabic stone-dwelling room at the camp, a gourmet breakfast and a return to Dubai by about 10:00 AM. A sunrise hot air balloon flight can be added to the overnight for guests aged 7 and over. These are add-ons priced separately, and we confirm availability and the total in our reply.

Is it suitable for children or during pregnancy?

The operator's page does not state an age limit for this evening, so tell us the age of every child when you request and we confirm in our reply. The nature drive is not recommended for guests more than six months pregnant.

What is the cancellation policy?

Bookings of up to 4 guests can be cancelled for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure; inside 24 hours there is no refund. Groups of more than 4 guests have longer notice periods, which we confirm with your reply. If the experience cannot run because of severe weather or too few guests, you are offered another date or a full refund. We recommend travel insurance.

How do I request this tour?

Use the request form on this page with your group size, preferred date and hotel area. We reply by email to confirm availability and the total for your group, and your request is not a booking until we confirm it.

About this experience

The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve is a protected area of dunes, gravel plains and ghaf woodland covering roughly 225 square kilometres, about five per cent of Dubai's land area. Sources differ on exactly when it was created, with a decree dated 2002 and a perimeter fence completed in 2003 both cited, and some trace its roots to the Al Maha conservation area of around 1999. Its best-known resident is the Arabian oryx, an antelope recorded as extinct in the wild by the early 1970s that the IUCN moved from extinct in the wild to vulnerable in 2011 after reintroductions across the Arabian Peninsula.

This is a night programme rather than a sunset one. After a private drive of about 60 minutes in a vintage 1950s Land Rover with a professional Conservation Guide, the evening turns to the nocturnal desert: an eco-walk with torches to look for creatures such as sandfish and scorpions, and an owl encounter in which you learn about desert owls. These are wild animals, so sightings are never guaranteed.

The astronomy session is the other half of the evening. A guide explains the constellations and planets and you look through a telescope; the operator says that when cloud or weather hides the stars, guests get an astronomy talk instead. Dinner is a three-course meal prepared on site at a torch-lit camp, where the dinner and activities are shared with other guests while your vehicle and nature safari stay private. The operator states that a portion of each fee supports local conservation in Dubai.
