Our Story
We’re not a big tour company. That’s the point.
Red Desert Travel started with three friends and one beat-up Land Cruiser. Eight years later, we’re still locally owned and family-run — every safari personally planned, every guest treated like a friend visiting Dubai for the first time.

How long does a typical safari last?
Standard safaris run 6 hours from pickup to drop-off — usually 3 PM to 9 PM. Premium overnight options are available if you want to sleep under the stars.

We recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead, especially during peak season (Oct–Apr). Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible — WhatsApp us to check availability.
