What this site is
An independent guide to the desert around Dubai: evening, morning and overnight safaris, dune bashing, quad bikes and buggies, camels, sandboarding, horses, falcons, balloons and stargazing, desert camps, dinners and resorts, plus the practical side — prices, timings, pickup areas, what to wear, the weather and travelling with children. We don’t run tours or camps, we are not a booking agent, and we are not the official site of any operator, camp, resort or reserve.
Where the prices come from
Prices, ratings and durations of bookable experiences come from the booking platforms themselves — Headout and GetYourGuide — through their partner feeds. They refresh every day. We show them in UAE dirhams at the fixed rate of 3.6725 AED per US dollar, with the dollar price next to it; the platform’s checkout is what counts. A struck-through price is the platform’s own “was” price.
Operators’ own prices (in operator reviews and price tables) are copied from each operator’s website on the date shown. They are there to compare, not to sell.
How we make money
Buttons and experience cards go straight to the partner’s page. If you book there, the partner may pay us a commission. It doesn’t change your price, and it doesn’t decide what we write: pages say when a simpler or cheaper option exists.
Operator reviews
Our operator reviews describe how each company works from public information — its website, terms, booking storefronts and listings. The “What they publish” check records whether the operator states its licence, prices, camp, pickup areas and cancellation terms. It is not a rating, and we don’t publish invented reviews or star scores.
