Desert Safari BBQ Dinner

Ahmed Al Rashid June 09, 2026

What to Expect

I still remember my desert safari trip on 15th February, it was an unforgettable experience. Our driver, Amir, was quite skilled and took us through the dunes like a pro. So, when it comes to food, you'll get a pretty standard BBQ dinner with kebabs, rice, and salads.

Food Options

Look, the options won't be extensive, but you'll find enough variety to satisfy your appetite. And, they usually have vegetarian options too. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but the food was quite tasty, especially the shawarma. You'll get all this for around AED 120 per person, which is a steal.

Drinks and Desserts

But, don't expect a wide range of drinks, it's usually soft drinks, juice, and water. The desserts, though, are a different story, you'll get to try some traditional Arabic sweets like baklava and umm ali. I'd recommend trying the Arabic coffee as well, it's quite strong.

Booking a Tour

Here's the thing: booking a desert safari tour is relatively easy, you can do it online or through a tour operator. We booked ours through Roamigo Trips, and it was a seamless experience. They also offer other tours like the Premium Marina Dhow Cruise, which I'm planning to try soon.

Practical Tips

So, if you're planning to go on a desert safari, make sure to dress comfortably and wear sunscreen. You'll also want to bring a camera to capture the stunning views. And, don't forget to try some of the activities they offer at the camp, like camel riding or sandboarding. You can also consider visiting the Dubai Safari Park for a more extensive wildlife experience.
