Which Desert safari is Best in Dubai until now? The most reliable Company you can choose in 2026

Before visiting Dubai or while visiting Dubai, we all are searching for the best desert safari tour agency that delivers the best from the pickup until the drop off service. Now the question rises that somehow all of the Tour operators in Dubai claiming to be the best tour providers and the question rises in your mind how to find the the option that offers the VIP , Luxury experience and great adventure? As a matter of fact all the campsites in Dubai  and Sharjah are closed until further notice by the Govt. One of the most highly rated safari tour operator like “:Platinum Heritage ” is also closed until October 2026 .

Regarding the Arabian Adventures in 2026 they are operational only on saturdays and on wednesdays , they take you to their own campsite DDCR unless otherwise of any changes. Now the question rises that where are all other Tour agencies and operators are going to when almost all of the campsites in Dubai and sharjah are closed until further notice? They are all going to Al Faqa (often spelled Al Fagga) which is situated between the border of Dubai UAE and the Eastren part of Emirates of Abu Dhabi. All of the safari service providers are compelled to use the camping, campsites that are fully operational and serving without any notification , restriction in the area. Al Faqa has approximate 3-6 campsites that are welcoming all the tour operators, desert safari agencies to bring thier guests to their campsite.

 

Has Anyone or Have they Disclosed going to Al Fagga Desert Since Feb 28th 2026 onwards ?

Most of the Tourists and even local redidents are not aware that they will be taken to the Al Fagga desert location, the campsites that were operational in Dubai and sharjah have been closed past months and there is not much of the choice to be made. The campsites in Al Faqaa are of average standard offering the similar seating arrangements

1. Standard seating on table and chairs with self service on Food counters
2. VIP loungue , Food serving on your table free flow of Edible Items from starters to the Main course
3. Henna painting Free of cost for kids standard small Tattoos, larger ones are additional on cost
4. Hookah pipes , sheeshas in combined loungue and additional on pricing when served on table
5. Soda Drinks, mineral water , Tea and coffee with free flow
6. The Fire Guy show, The Tanoura Dancing and the Belly dancing shows

 

People tend to admire the Desert activities rather than the Campsite Facilities

The previous feedback indicates that all the visitors going to desert safaris from Feb 2026 to Al Faqaa are admiring only the desert activities which includes

1. The Sand bashing A,K.A Dune Bashing approx for 30 minutes
2. The Sunset photography
3. The sandboarding & The camel riding
4. Optional ATV Quad Biking & The Desert Buggies

 

The trends indicates that the Al Faqqa campsites are below or of the average standard as compared to Dubai and Sharjah campsites. The decor and the facilities are not much promising, accomodating, since there is not much of the choice for the visitors until the Govt announces the re-opening of the campsites in Dubai and Sharjah in 2026 June onwards. DTCM Dubai’s “Dubai Department of Economy & Tourism is expected to announce very soon opening of the campsites in Dubai and Sharjah which will give a big time relief to all the desert safari companies to escort the visitors to their own campsites!
