How To Go Dubai Desert Safari From Airport?
Step 1: Arrival at Dubai International Airport
Upon landing at Dubai International Airport, the gateway to your desert escapade begins. As you exit the terminal, you’re just 57 kilometers away from an adventure of a lifetime.
Step 2: Choose Your Transport
There are several transportation options to reach BNB Desert Tours:
- Rental Cars: Easily rent a car from one of the many counters at the airport. A 4×4 is recommended for its ability to handle sandy terrain.
- Taxi Services: Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals hall. Ask for a fixed price to BNB Desert Tours to avoid any surprises.
- Private Transfers: Book a private transfer for a hassle-free journey directly to the desert camp.
Step 3: The Journey to BNB Desert Tours
The drive from Dubai Airport to the main desert camp area is scenic and swift. As you travel the 57 kilometers, watch the landscape transition from urban sprawl to mesmerizing desert plains. The journey typically takes about 45 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
Step 4: Arriving at BNB Desert Tours
Once you arrive at BNB Desert Tours, you’re greeted with a traditional welcome. The camp is designed to mimic a traditional Bedouin setup but equipped with modern amenities for comfort and safety.

BNB Desert Tours offers an array of activities to satisfy thrill-seekers and culture enthusiasts alike:
