FAMILY
Desert Safari with a Baby or Toddler: What's Allowed
Babies and toddlers can join the desert camp, the camel ride (with a parent) and sandboarding at the bottom of a dune. UAE safety rules don't allow children under 3 on shared dune bashing, so families with little ones usually book a private car with a gentle drive. Children under 2 are free.

What an absolutely amazing experience! Definitely one of the best things I have done in Dubai, and such a memorable day from beginning to end. Everything was beautifully organised, and the whole experience was filled with wonderful moments, excitement, and genuine hospitality. What made it even more special was our guide, Abdullah, who was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly kind, friendly, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the entire experience. He made sure we were comfortable, looked after us so well, and was always happy to help with anything we needed. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely remember this day for a long time. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough to anyone visiting Dubai! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a wonderful desert safari experience! Our driver and guide, Abdullah, was very polite, professional, and friendly throughout the trip. He made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The quad biking and dune bashing were especially exciting and so much fun! We also enjoyed the buffet dinner and evening entertainment shows, which were a great way to end the day. Everything was well organized, and the whole experience was truly memorable. Special thanks to Abdullah for his excellent service and hospitality. Highly recommended!

Emdad 씨와 투어했습니다! 호텔까지 픽업와주셔서 편했고, 바로 사막으로 이동했습니다! 중간에 스카프 살 수있는 곳에 데려다주셔서 따로 스카프는 구매하지 않으셔도 될것같아요! 듄 배싱을 아주 스릴있게 잘해주셨고 사진도 열심히 남겨주셨습니다 😄 쿼드바이크는 30분(150AED) 타는데 재밌었습니다! 친절하신 가이드님 덕분에 즐겁게 투어했습니다 !

View on GoogleBabies and toddlers can join the desert camp, the camel ride (with a parent) and sandboarding at the bottom of a dune. UAE safety rules don't allow children under 3 on shared dune bashing. The easy fix is a private car with a gentle drive, or skipping the dune bashing.
By age
- Under 3: Camp, camel ride with a parent, henna, shows. No shared dune bashing. Private gentle drive possible
- 3-8: Everything, at the full adult price. Kids' quads from around 6+
- 9+: Adult rate. Double quads as a passenger, buggy passenger
Tips
- The morning safari fits nap schedules better
- Bring a baby carrier. Strollers don't work in sand
- Pack snacks, wipes, a hat and a light blanket for the evening
- Book private so you can stop whenever you need to
Why the under-3 rule exists
Dune bashing involves sudden drops and side-slides. Car seats and adult seat belts don't protect toddlers properly on dunes, so UAE operators don't take under-3s on shared dune bashing. On a private car, the driver can take a smooth, flat route to the camp so your little one still enjoys the camel, the sand and the shows.
A toddler-friendly plan
- Book the private morning safari (AED 799 for up to 6)
- Pickup around 7:30 AM, when it's cool and before nap time
- Gentle drive, camel ride with a parent, sandboarding sitting down
- Back at the hotel by 11:30 AM
Can a 1-year-old go on a desert safari?
Yes, to the camp and activities, but not on shared dune bashing. Book a private car and ask for a gentle drive, or skip it.
Is the desert safari free for babies?
Yes. Children under 3 are free.
Can I bring a car seat?
Yes, for the highway part of the trip. Tell us in advance.
