AbuDhabiSafari.com exists because buying a desert safari is oddly confusing. Dozens of near-identical listings, the same photograph on each, and small print that matters a great deal if you are pregnant, travelling with a toddler or simply do not enjoy being thrown around in a car. This site explains the differences.
What we cover
- The types of safari from Abu Dhabi and who each suits.
- What is included, what is extra, and what it should cost — in ranges, not invented exact prices.
- Safety: who should skip dune bashing, and how to avoid motion sickness.
- Pickup zones, the best months, and what changes in Ramadan and in summer.
- The deserts and sights worth adding, from Al Wathba to Liwa, and where to stay.
What we are not
We do not run tours, own vehicles or operate camps, and we cannot change or cancel a booking. Tours are operated by local licensed companies and booked through GetYourGuide.
How we research
Tour details, ratings and review counts come from GetYourGuide’s own data and are re-checked regularly. Facts about places are checked against official and reference sources. Where a figure moves — prices, opening hours, festival dates, minimum ages — we give a range or tell you to confirm it, rather than pretending to a precision that does not exist.
How the site is funded
We are a GetYourGuide affiliate partner and link to Trip.com for accommodation. If you book through a link on this site we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. There is no advertising and no paid placement. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
