Questions

How many people fit in one car?

Up to six. If you are seven or more, you need a second car, and the booking form works this out for you.

Is a private safari worth it for a family?

For six people, the Private Safari with BBQ is AED 850, about AED 142 each. Six shared seats cost AED 750, so the private car costs AED 100 more in total and you get your own car and driver.

Can the driver go gentler on the dunes?

Yes. Tell the driver at pickup. They can drive softer, or skip dune bashing and go straight to the photo stop.

Do I need to pay in advance?

Some private bookings need a small advance to hold the car. We tell you the amount on WhatsApp before you confirm.
