Staying in Abu Dhabi? You don't need to travel to Dubai for the desert. The Al Khatim desert outside the capital delivers the same magic — long waves of golden sand, professional dune bashing and a traditional camp evening — at the friendliest price of any tour we run.
After pickup from your Abu Dhabi hotel, your 4x4 rolls straight into the dunes for an adrenaline session with a licensed driver. Sunset photos on the ridge follow, then the camp opens its doors: camel rides, sandboarding, henna and a full BBQ buffet with live entertainment.

Good to know
Where does the Abu Dhabi safari take place?
In the Al Khatim desert, about 45 minutes from central Abu Dhabi — famous for wide, tall dunes and quiet horizons.
Why is this safari cheaper than the Dubai one?
Shorter transfer distances and larger group camps in Abu Dhabi keep costs down. The experience itself — dune bashing, camp, dinner, shows — is the same style.
Do you pick up from Yas Island and Saadiyat?
Yes, pickup covers Yas Island, Saadiyat and all main city areas. Remote locations may carry a small transfer supplement — confirm when booking.
Can I combine this with the Abu Dhabi city tour?
Yes — many guests do the city tour in the morning and the safari in the evening. Use the Build Your Package option and we'll arrange timings.
