Lama desert safari Dubai review

Several Lama-named sellers · lamadubai.com safari USD 45 · pickup 15:30–16:00 · refund up to 1 day before

Short answer

"Lama" in Dubai safari searches can mean Lama Global Tourism (lamadubai.com), the ICL Lama camp packages sold on hotel and reseller platforms, or Lama Tours International, a US pilgrimage company with no Dubai business. Lama Global publishes an evening safari at USD 45 with pickup at 15:30–16:00 and a full refund if you cancel a day ahead.

Which Lama is which

Many people search for a "Lama desert safari", but no single company owns the name online. These are the ones we found in November 2026:

Name you see Web address What it is
Lama Global Tourism lamadubai.com Dubai agency selling tours, attraction tickets, visas and group trips; says "since 1997"
ICL Lama / Lama camp Hotel activity platforms and reseller apps Standard, premium and VIP camp safaris sold through other sites
lamatours.ae Forwards to desertspot.ae The address now opens Desert Spot Tourism, a different seller
Lama Tours International lamatours.com US company running Holy Land pilgrimages since 1972; not in Dubai

We could not confirm whether ICL Lama and Lama Global are connected. If a booking confirmation or payment link says "Lama", check that the web address and company name match the one you chose.

Lama Global's evening safari

Lama Global Tourism has offices in Barsha Heights in Dubai, in Abu Dhabi and in New Delhi, according to its about page. Its evening desert safari is a standard shared programme:

  • Pickup between 15:30 and 16:00, drop-off anywhere in Dubai
  • Dune bashing in a 4x4
  • Camel ride
  • Coffee and Arabic tea on arrival at the camp
  • BBQ dinner with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes
  • Belly dance show

The published price is USD 45 per person, shown next to a struck-through USD 61.25 (checked November 2026). That "was" price is a sales device, not a discount you earned. The page does not say how long the dune drive lasts, which camp is used or which desert area you go to. Our dune bashing page explains why those details change the experience.

Cancellation terms on the product page are simple: a full refund if you cancel one day in advance, a 100% charge for no-shows, and no refund for parts of the tour you skip.

What we could not check

Lama Global has no Trustpilot profile and shows only a few testimonials on its own site. Its news section still promotes Expo 2020 and a post titled for 2018, which suggests the site is rarely updated. No licence number is shown.

Booking a similar safari

If the name confusion puts you off, compare evening safaris on Headout and GetYourGuide, which show the operator, camp and dune drive length on each listing. For an upgraded camp like the ICL Lama premium packages, see VIP and luxury safaris.

Questions people ask

Is Lama Tours Dubai the same as lamatours.com?
No. lamatours.com belongs to Lama Tours International, a US company running pilgrimages to the Holy Land since 1972. It has nothing to do with Dubai safaris.
What happened to lamatours.ae?
When we checked in November 2026, lamatours.ae forwarded to desertspot.ae, the site of a different safari seller, Desert Spot Tourism.
How much is the Lama desert safari?
Lama Global lists its evening desert safari at USD 45 per person on lamadubai.com, shown against a struck-through USD 61.25 (November 2026).
What is included in the Lama desert safari?
Pickup between 15:30 and 16:00 from anywhere in Dubai, dune bashing in a 4x4, a camel ride, coffee and Arabic tea at the camp, a BBQ dinner with vegetarian options and a belly dance show.
Is ICL Lama the same company as Lama Global?
We could not confirm a link. ICL Lama camp packages appear on hotel activity platforms and reseller apps, while Lama Global sells from lamadubai.com.
