Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really do a city tour and desert safari in one day?
Absolutely! Our combo tours are expertly designed to manage time efficiently, allowing you to enjoy the highlights of both the city and the desert without feeling rushed. We handle all the logistics so you can simply enjoy the experience.
What should I wear for a Dubai combo tour?
For the city tour portion, light, comfortable clothing and walking shoes are recommended. For the desert safari, we suggest wearing loose-fitting clothes and open-toed shoes or sandals. It’s also wise to bring a light jacket or sweater for the evening, as the desert can get cooler after sunset.
Are combo tours suitable for families with young children?
Yes, our tours are very family-friendly. However, the dune bashing portion of the desert safari is a bumpy ride and is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with back problems, or very young infants. We can arrange for you to be taken directly to the desert camp to skip this activity if needed.
What is included in a typical desert safari dinner?
Our desert safari dinner is a lavish barbecue buffet featuring a wide variety of grilled meats, fresh salads, Arabic appetizers (mezze), and delicious desserts. Soft drinks, water, tea, and coffee are also included.
How much time is spent at each location on a city tour?
The time spent varies, but we ensure there is ample time for you to explore and take photos at each key stop. Photo stops at landmarks like the Burj Al Arab are typically 15-20 minutes, while visits to places like the souks can be longer to allow for shopping and exploration.
