Choose Your Dubai Desert Safari Diwali Package
Choose Standard for an affordable evening, VIP for upgraded seating, or VIP with Quad Bike for an adventure-focused outing. Families who want their own transfer vehicle should compare the Private Family Safari. The All-Inclusive package is a separate option for guests seeking a broader package of services.
Promotional quad-bike packages: valid until 31 October 2026
| Promotional package | Advertised price | Riding arrangement | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Quad Bike + Desert Safari | AED 129/person | Single-seater quad bike | Until 31 October 2026 |
| Double Quad Bike + Desert Safari | AED 179/person | Double-seater quad bike | Until 31 October 2026 |
The poster prices are per person. A double-seater bike does not make AED 179 the total price for two guests. These promotional rates end on 31 October; do not use them to price November departures without an explicit booking confirmation.
Normal safari rates: applicable from 1 November 2026
| Package | Price | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Desert Safari | AED 99/person | Budget-conscious guests who want the evening safari experience |
| VIP Desert Safari | AED 149/person | Guests who prefer VIP seating |
| VIP Desert Safari with Quad Bike | AED 259/person | Guests who want quad biking with the VIP safari |
| All-Inclusive Desert Safari | AED 399/person | Guests who want a broader package; confirm the exact inclusions |
| Private Family Safari | AED 999/package | Families who want private transport; confirm the permitted group size |
The AED 99 Standard package is the option to compare when looking for Dubai desert safari Diwali packages under AED 100. VIP at AED 149 fits a budget below AED 150 per person. Quad biking is specifically included in the AED 259 VIP with Quad Bike package; do not assume it is part of Standard or VIP alone.
Standard Desert Safari AED 99 per person
Choose Standard if your priority is an affordable desert evening with activities, dinner and entertainment. It is the starting point for Indian tourists, UAE residents and friends comparing budget Dubai desert safari packages.
Explore the evening desert safari.
VIP Desert Safari AED 149 per person
Choose VIP if camp seating matters more to you than adding a ride. This option suits couples, friends and families who want VIP seating during the evening. Confirm whether your chosen arrangement includes sofa seating, a reserved table or waiter service; those features should be stated separately.
Compare VIP desert safari inclusions.
VIP Desert Safari with Quad Bike AED 259 per person
Choose this package for an ATV ride alongside the VIP safari, BBQ dinner and camp entertainment. It is the normal-rate option for guests searching for quad biking and BBQ dinner packages during their Diwali visit.
View the VIP safari with quad bike. Confirm the bike type, session length and riding area for your reservation.
All-Inclusive Desert Safari AED 399 per person
The All-Inclusive package costs AED 399 per person. Compare its itemised inclusions with Standard, VIP and VIP with Quad Bike before choosing it. The name alone does not establish that every vehicle upgrade, professional photo or premium service is included.
Request the exact activity, transport, seating and dining breakdown with your quotation.
Private Family Safari AED 999 per package
Choose the Private Family Safari when your family wants its own transfer arrangement. The AED 999 figure is the family-package price, not a per-person rate. Share the number of adults and children so the team can confirm vehicle capacity and the appropriate setup.
View private desert safari options. Private transport does not automatically reserve an entire camp or include every activity upgrade.
What Is Included in Your Diwali Desert Safari Price?
The advertised promotional safari combines shared 4×4 transport, desert activities, BBQ dinner and entertainment. For the normal-rate packages, use the selected package’s inclusion list to identify differences in transport, seating and quad biking.
| Advertised experience | What it means |
|---|---|
| Shared 4×4 SUV pickup and drop-off | Travel in the arranged vehicle with other guests |
| Land Cruiser dune bashing | A driver-led ride across the dunes |
| Short camel ride | A short included riding experience |
| Sandboarding | An opportunity to slide down a sand slope |
| Sunset photography | Time for photographs in the evening light |
| Kandura and abaya photos | An Arabic dress photo opportunity |
| Henna painting for ladies | A camp activity for participating guests |
| BBQ buffet dinner | Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options |
| Live entertainment | Tanoura dance, fire show and belly dance |
| Toilet facilities | Washroom facilities at the camp |
Quad biking is included in the promotional quad packages and the normal AED 259 VIP with Quad Bike package. A dune buggy is a different vehicle and should be booked as a separate inclusion or upgrade.
What costs extra?
Request prices for upgrades such as private transfers, longer camel rides, dune buggy driving, different seating, table service and professional photographs. Add only the services you want to your booking.
A short camel ride is not an extended camel trek. Sunset and Arabic dress photography do not automatically include professionally edited photographs. These distinctions make package comparisons more useful than simply counting the activities listed.
Are Vegetarian and Jain Meals Available?
Vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices are available with the BBQ dinner, and Jain food is available on request. Tell the booking team how many guests need each meal arrangement before confirming your Diwali safari.
How do you request Jain food?
List the ingredients your guests avoid, including onion, garlic and root vegetables where applicable. Ask for the meal arrangement to be included in your confirmation rather than leaving the request until dinner.
The camp serves non-vegetarian food as well. It should not be described as a pure-vegetarian venue. Separate preparation, utensils and serving arrangements need specific confirmation if they matter to your family.
What about Indian menus, vegan meals and allergies?
Ask for the available menu if you want particular Indian dishes. Gujarati, North Indian and South Indian meals are specific menu requests, not interchangeable descriptions of a vegetarian buffet.
Vegan meals and food allergies also need separate discussion. For more planning information, read our desert safari guide for Indian visitors.
Does Your Package Include Pickup from My Area?
The promotional poster includes shared 4×4 SUV pickup and drop-off. Send your hotel or residence name, area and map location to confirm the pickup arrangement. Normal-rate package transport should be checked against the selected option.
Shared pickup or private transfer?
Shared pickup means travelling with other guests along an arranged route. The Private Family Safari provides a separate transport choice for families who want their own vehicle arrangement.
Do not treat bus pickup, a central meeting point and hotel pickup in a Land Cruiser as the same service. Your confirmation should identify which one you have booked.
Where can you check pickup information?
| Dubai area | Relevant guide |
|---|---|
| Bur Dubai | Desert safari from Bur Dubai |
| Deira | Desert safari from Deira City Centre |
| Dubai Marina | Evening desert safari from Dubai Marina |
| JBR | Evening desert safari from JBR |
| Downtown Dubai | Desert safari from Downtown Dubai |
| Palm Jumeirah | Desert safari from Palm Jumeirah |
For Karama, Al Barsha, Jumeirah, Al Qusais, International City, Discovery Gardens, JVC or Zabeel, send your exact location. Guests requesting Sharjah or Ajman pickup should also confirm coverage and any additional charge for their package.
Your pickup window and approximate return time belong in the booking confirmation. Tell us about any fixed evening commitment before choosing shared transport.
What Is the Total Price for Your Family or Group?
From 1 November, calculate your starting package total using the normal rates below. These examples assume that every guest pays the listed per-person rate.
| Package | 2 paying guests | 4 paying guests |
|---|---|---|
| Standard AED 99/person | AED 198 | AED 396 |
| VIP AED 149/person | AED 298 | AED 596 |
| VIP with Quad Bike AED 259/person | AED 518 | AED 1,036 |
| All-Inclusive AED 399/person | AED 798 | AED 1,596 |
The Private Family Safari is AED 999 per package, subject to the confirmed group capacity. It should not be calculated by multiplying AED 999 by each family member.
For two adults and two children, request the children’s applicable rates before calculating the total. The four-guest examples above do not establish a child discount. Your quotation should state taxes, mandatory charges and any extras before payment.
For a large group, send the total guests, pickup location, selected package and meal requirements through our group desert safari booking enquiry. Group discounts and multi-vehicle arrangements require a separate quotation.
Why Book Your Diwali Desert Safari with Roar Adventure Tourism?
Book with Roar to coordinate the package, pickup, activities and meal requests through one team. Whether you are arranging a couple’s evening, an Indian family outing or a corporate gathering, the booking starts with who is coming and what they need.
Our published company information identifies Roar as a licensed tour operator offering shared and private safari options. Read more about Roar Adventure Tourism and review the selected package before reserving.
What do previous guests say?
Read our desert safari guest reviews for feedback about guides, pickup and the overall experience. Look for comments relevant to your own group rather than relying only on a headline rating.
For a family, useful details include how the driver handled the outing, how comfortable guests felt and whether the evening suited their children.
Booking Questions Before You Reserve
Is the price per person, per bike or per private vehicle?
Standard, VIP, VIP with Quad Bike and All-Inclusive are priced per person. The supplied promotional poster also labels AED 129 and AED 179 as per-person rates. The AED 999 Private Family Safari is a separate family-package price; confirm the group capacity when booking.
Can two people share one quad bike?
The promotional double-quad option advertises a two-seater bike. Confirm rider and passenger eligibility, especially for children. For the normal AED 259 VIP with Quad Bike package, ask which bike arrangement is included rather than assuming it matches the promotional double-seater option.
What are the child prices and riding age requirements?
Send each child’s age with your enquiry. Admission pricing and eligibility to drive or ride on a quad bike are separate matters. Neither the poster nor the supplied normal-rate list establishes a universal child price or riding age.
Can I book now and pay later?
The promotional poster advertises Book Now, Pay Later. Confirm the payment deadline and any deposit when reserving. For tours after 31 October, ask which payment terms apply to the normal-rate package rather than assuming all promotional conditions continue.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Roar’s published desert safari policy provides a full refund for cancellations at least 24 hours before the tour start time, with no refund for cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows. Read the cancellation and refund policy and confirm any package-specific conditions before paying.
How do I confirm my booking and pickup?
Keep written confirmation of your tour date, package, guest count, total price and payment arrangement. It should also record the pickup details and agreed meal requests. Contact the team if any of these details are missing before your departure.
What Happens During Your Diwali Desert Safari?
The evening moves from pickup and desert activities to dinner and entertainment. The activity order and exact timings follow the itinerary arranged for your departure.
Pickup and the drive to the desert
Meet the driver at the confirmed location. Shared guests follow the arranged route, while private bookings use their agreed transfer plan.
Quad biking or a dune buggy ride, if selected
Guests with a quad-bike package join the booked riding session. Confirm its duration and riding area before purchase. Open-desert riding is a different request from a designated-track session, and a dune buggy must be selected separately if it is not listed in your package.
Dune bashing and desert photo stops
A driver handles the 4×4 dune-bashing experience. Sunset photography gives couples, friends and families time for desert photographs. Follow the driver’s instructions about where to stand and when to return to the vehicle.
Camp activities, BBQ dinner and shows
The camp portion brings together the short camel ride, sandboarding, Arabic dress photos and henna activity. Dinner follows the arranged programme, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices and previously requested Jain meals.
Read about the live entertainment at an evening desert safari for more on tanoura dance, fire show and belly dance. The return transfer follows the camp departure.
Which Diwali Safari Package Suits Your Group?
Indian families with children
Compare Standard and VIP around your budget and seating preferences. Choose Private Family Safari if having your own transfer arrangement matters more. Share children’s ages and food requirements before selecting activities.
Our Dubai desert safari for families explains the wider options for a family outing.
Couples and friends
VIP suits couples who want upgraded seating, while VIP with Quad Bike adds an adventure activity. Friends who want to ride individually should discuss bike allocation when booking. A romantic outing or honeymoon request does not automatically include private dining or decorations.
Corporate and community groups
For an Indian community Diwali celebration, company outing or gathering of several families, choose the package first and then coordinate transport and meals. State whether you want the group to travel and sit together. Request special arrangements in the quotation.
Guests who want to skip dune bashing
Choose an alternative itinerary if you do not want the dune-driving portion. Explore our desert safari without dune bashing and discuss transport and camp arrangements separately.
Mention mobility needs or activity restrictions before booking. Vehicle access, sand pathways, seating and toilet access should be discussed individually.
What Makes This a Diwali Special Offer?
The limited-time promotion combines a single- or double-quad package with the advertised desert safari activities, shared 4×4 transfers, BBQ dinner and entertainment. Its promotional rates are valid only until 31 October 2026.
From 1 November 2026, choose the normal Standard, VIP, VIP with Quad Bike, All-Inclusive or Private Family package. Visiting during the Diwali period does not extend the October promotion.
The safari offers an outdoor evening for families and friends celebrating together. The advertised entertainment is tanoura dance, fire show and belly dance. Fireworks, a puja, rangoli activities and Bollywood performances are not listed inclusions.
Where Does the Safari Take Place?
Confirm the dune-driving area and dinner camp for your selected package. They are separate parts of the itinerary and need not be in the same location.
If you want Lahbab red dunes, state that preference before reserving. Our Al Awir versus Lahbab safari guide explains the distinction between the two areas.
View the actual camp photographs and seating associated with your booking. Information about Total Support Desert Safari Camp is available separately; confirm whether that camp is assigned to your chosen package.
How Should You Prepare for a Diwali Desert Safari?
Wear comfortable clothing and footwear suited to sand. If you want festive photographs in elaborate clothing, bring a practical change for the riding activities. Keep loose accessories secured and follow the activity team’s equipment instructions.
Bring your booking confirmation, a charged phone, sun protection and essential personal items. Pack a light layer if you feel cold outdoors after sunset. Families should bring the supplies their children normally need during an extended outing.
Read our guide to what to wear for a Dubai desert safari before travelling. For quad biking, confirm the riding area, equipment and eligibility requirements before choosing the package.
Frequently Asked Questions About Diwali Desert Safaris in Dubai
Is a desert safari a good way to celebrate Diwali in Dubai?
A desert safari suits families and friends who want outdoor activities, dinner and live entertainment together. Choose it for that experience. If your celebration requires a religious ceremony, fireworks or a specific Indian cultural programme, confirm those arrangements separately because they are not listed in these packages.
What is the difference between the October offer and normal Diwali-period rates?
The poster’s single-quad and double-quad packages cost AED 129 and AED 179 per person until 31 October 2026. From 1 November, normal rates apply: Standard AED 99, VIP AED 149, VIP with Quad Bike AED 259 and All-Inclusive AED 399 per person, plus Private Family Safari at AED 999 per package.
Should I choose an evening, morning or overnight safari?
Choose an evening safari for camp dinner and entertainment. Compare a morning safari with quad biking if you prefer an earlier outing, or an overnight desert safari if you want to stay after the evening. Those alternatives have separate prices and inclusions.
When should I book a desert safari for Diwali?
Book once your travel date, package and guest count are settled. The October promotional rates expire on 31 October 2026; normal prices apply from November. For last-minute plans, check live availability. Groups and guests with dietary or transport requirements should allow time to confirm those arrangements.
Can I request Indian vegetarian food or a Jain meal?
Vegetarian choices and Jain food on request are available as discussed above. Ask for the menu if you need specific Indian dishes. A Jain request should state the ingredients to avoid and the number of meals. Separate preparation and serving requirements also need confirmation.
Can I book without quad biking, dinner or pickup?
Standard and VIP are options to compare if you do not want the named quad-bike package. For a self-drive visit, camp-only booking or outing without dinner, request a separate quotation. Do not subtract an assumed activity, meal or transport value from a published package rate.
Are UAE-resident, early-bird or group discounts available?
The confirmed special rates are the poster offer valid until 31 October. Additional UAE-resident, early-bird, child or group discounts have not been specified. Send your date and group details for a quotation rather than assuming that another discount applies to the listed prices.
Can I request a Hindi-speaking guide?
Include the request when enquiring, especially if a family member needs Hindi assistance. Guide-language availability should be confirmed for your departure. A page written for Indian tourists does not guarantee that every vehicle has a Hindi-speaking guide.
What happens if weather affects the safari?
Contact the booking team for the arrangement applying to your departure. Use your written booking terms and the refund policy for any cancellation or rescheduling decision. Activities and transport should follow the operator’s instructions; do not assume that every weather-related change has the same refund outcome.
Choose Your Package and Reserve Your Date
For tours within the confirmed promotional period, compare the AED 129 single-quad and AED 179 double-quad offers. For departures from 1 November, select Standard at AED 99, VIP at AED 149, VIP with Quad Bike at AED 259, All-Inclusive at AED 399 per person, or Private Family Safari at AED 999 per package.
