A desert safari is one of Dubai's most popular corporate team outing activities. It gets your team out of the office, into a genuinely unique environment, and creates shared experiences that office-based team building cannot replicate. Here is everything you need to organise it.

Corporate Team Outing Dubai - Desert Safari for Companies

The Dubai desert safari has become the go-to corporate team outing activity for companies based in and visiting the UAE. It works where most team building activities fail — it gets people genuinely excited, removes the hierarchy of the office environment, and creates shared memories that colleagues talk about for months. Dune bashing in a Land Cruiser has a way of equalising a team that no workshop or dinner ever quite manages.

This guide covers everything a corporate event organiser needs to know — from group pricing and logistics to VAT invoicing and customisation options.

Why the desert safari works for corporate teams

  1. Shared adrenaline — dune bashing creates a shared experience that bonds teams naturally. No ice-breaker exercises required when everyone is laughing and screaming in a Land Cruiser together.
  2. Neutral territory — the desert removes office hierarchy. The CEO and the intern experience the same dunes, the same camel ride, the same BBQ dinner.
  3. Evening timing — pickup at 3:30 PM means it works as an after-work event without eating into the full workday.
  4. Suitable for all fitness levels — dune bashing is a passenger activity, camel riding is gentle, and the camp activities are optional. No one is excluded.
  5. Genuine Dubai experience — for international teams and visiting clients, the desert safari is the quintessential UAE experience. It doubles as cultural immersion.
  6. No planning overhead — we handle all logistics. Your job is to tell us the group size, date, and hotel. We handle vehicles, transfers, camp coordination, and catering.

Corporate safari packages

Standard corporate evening safari

The evening desert safari with BBQ dinner is the most popular choice for corporate outings. Hotel pickup at 3:30 PM, 30 minutes of dune bashing, sunset photography stop, camel riding and sandboarding, then a full BBQ buffet dinner at a desert camp with belly dance, tanoura, and fire show. Back at your hotel by 9:30 PM. From AED 89 per person for standard groups, with corporate group rates available for teams of 15+.

Private corporate camp experience

For companies who want an exclusive experience, the private desert safari with premium camp dinner gives your team a dedicated camp space separate from other tourist groups. Premium food quality, branded setup options, dedicated staff, and a more refined atmosphere. Best for client entertainment, senior leadership outings, or any occasion requiring exclusivity.

Adventure corporate safari

For teams who want maximum activity, the safari with ATV quad biking adds quad biking to the standard dune bashing and camp experience. Works particularly well for younger teams, sales teams, or any group with a competitive, high-energy culture.

Corporate pricing and invoicing

We provide full VAT-compliant invoicing for corporate bookings. Pricing for corporate groups:

  1. Teams of 10-20: standard per-person rate with group coordination included

What we handle for corporate bookings

  1. Multiple vehicle coordination — all vehicles leave simultaneously from your office or hotel
  2. Multi-location pickup — if your team is spread across different hotels or the office, we coordinate multi-stop pickups
  3. Dietary catering — vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free all catered for with advance notice
  4. Group photography — on request, we can arrange a dedicated photographer at the dunes and camp
  5. Custom branding — branded backdrop for group photos, custom menu cards, welcome signage at camp (for groups of 30+)
  6. Safety briefing — full safety briefing for the team before dune bashing begins
  7. Insurance — all activities are fully insured. Certificate available for corporate HR requirements.

Planning timeline for corporate desert safaris

  1. 1-2 weeks before: confirm group size, date, dietary requirements, pickup locations, invoicing details
  2. 3-5 days before: final headcount confirmation, any special requirements
  3. Day before: WhatsApp reminder sent to group coordinator with exact pickup time and vehicle details
  4. Day of: driver contacts the coordinator 30 minutes before pickup

Most popular months for corporate desert safaris

October to April is peak season for corporate outings — comfortable temperatures, beautiful desert scenery, and no risk of summer heat. That said, we operate year-round and our summer desert safari guide explains how the evening safari remains comfortable even in summer months since the pickup is at 3:30 PM and temperatures drop significantly by sunset.

Combining with other corporate Dubai activities

For multi-day corporate retreats or conference groups, the desert safari works well as a Day 1 or Day 2 evening activity. Combine with a Marina dhow dinner cruise on a separate evening for two completely different Dubai experiences. Or add a Jebel Jais mountain day trip for groups staying 3+ nights. We can plan and coordinate a complete multi-day activity itinerary for your team.

What past corporate groups have said

"We took our entire sales team of 35 people. The logistics were seamless — all vehicles arrived on time, the camp had space ready for our group, and the energy was incredible. Our team is still talking about it." — Corporate client, Dubai

"Perfect for entertaining international clients. The desert experience is something they can't get anywhere else. Fully managed, no stress on our end." — Events manager, Dubai Media City
