What Is a Desert Safari by Bus?

A desert safari by bus is an evening desert tour that uses shared bus transportation between designated pickup points in Abu Dhabi and the desert.

Instead of arranging a private hotel transfer, guests travel to the assigned pickup location and join the scheduled shared bus.

Once you reach the desert, the safari continues with a 4×4 dune bashing session, camel riding, sandboarding, sunset views and a traditional desert camp. The evening also includes refreshments, dinner, entertainment and stargazing before the shared bus returns you to Abu Dhabi.

If you prefer a private pickup arrangement, explore our Evening Desert Safari Abu Dhabi.

What to Expect on the Desert Safari by Bus

Designated bus pickup → desert transfer → 4×4 dune bashing → camel riding and sandboarding → sunset → desert camp → BBQ dinner and entertainment → stargazing → return to Abu Dhabi.
