Hummer Desert Safari
Conquer the dunes in a private Hummer H2 with your own desert captain.
Tour Overview
Short answer: the Hummer Desert Safari puts your group in a private Hummer H2 with a dedicated captain for dune bashing, followed by a premium camp dinner — from AED 450 per vehicle, seating up to 6.
The Hummer H2 is one of the most distinctive vehicles on the dunes: taller, wider and noticeably more solid-feeling than a standard 4x4, with a cabin that seats your whole group in real comfort rather than a tight shared row. It's private by design — no strangers sharing your ride, no fixed group pace, just your party and a dedicated desert captain.
After the dune-bashing leg, you'll join the same premium-standard camp as our other evening tours — full BBQ dinner, live shows, camel ride and sandboarding — with the option to add a private dining setup if you'd rather keep the whole evening exclusive to your group.
Why Choose This Tour
Short answer: it's the most distinctive, spacious way to experience dune bashing privately, with a noticeably smoother ride than a standard 4x4 thanks to the H2's size and suspension.
Guests who've done both a standard private safari and this one consistently mention the extra headroom and legroom, and how much more solid the Hummer feels crossing rougher dune sections. If vehicle experience matters as much as the destination, this is the upgrade that delivers it.

Vehicle Information
A Hummer H2, seating up to 6 guests, with a dedicated desert captain. Taller and wider than our standard Land Cruiser/Patrol fleet, with a noticeably smoother ride over rough dune sections.
Safety Information
Dune bashing follows the same RTA-permitted driver standard as our other safaris. Your private captain adjusts intensity to your group; guests with back or heart conditions, and pregnant travellers, should soften or skip the bashing leg.
Tour Requirements
No fitness test required. Let us know your group size and any specific requests when booking so your captain can plan the drive accordingly.
Best Time to Join
Short answer: year-round, with full flexibility on pickup time since the vehicle is private to your group.
See our best time for a desert safari guide for seasonal detail.
What to Wear
Short answer: breathable layers for the drive, closed shoes for sandboarding, and a jacket for after sunset.
The spacious cabin makes it easy to adjust layers mid-tour if temperatures shift.
What to Bring
Short answer: sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera — the Hummer itself is a popular photo subject against the dunes.
See our desert safari tips guide for the full checklist.
Child Policy
Short answer: all ages welcome; the larger cabin gives families more room than a standard 4x4, and pace is fully adjustable to your group.
A private captain can moderate the ride for younger children without affecting other passengers, since the vehicle is exclusively yours.
Cancellation Policy
Short answer: free cancellation or rescheduling up to 24 hours before pickup; cancellations inside 24 hours are non-refundable.

Local Insider Tips
- Ask for the H2 photo stop early. The vehicle against the dunes at golden hour is one of our most-requested shots.
- Book the private dining upgrade if the vehicle is already private. It's a small add-on that completes the exclusive feel of the evening.
- Mention any mobility needs at booking. The Hummer's higher step-up can be adjusted for with a small step stool if needed.

Meet Our Expert Desert Safari Guides
Hummer safaris are led by our most experienced captains, chosen for their comfort handling a larger, heavier vehicle on the dunes.
Tufail Ahmed
Tufail is our lead Hummer H2 captain, with specific training on the vehicle's handling characteristics on steep dune faces.
Anees
Anees is our most-requested captain for family Hummer bookings, using the vehicle's extra space to keep the ride comfortable for mixed-age groups.
Qamar
Qamar handles most Hummer photo stops, knowing exactly where the vehicle's profile looks best against the dunes at golden hour.
A heavier, taller vehicle like the Hummer H2 handles differently from a standard 4x4 on soft sand, and driving it well on steep dunes takes specific experience beyond standard dune-bashing skill. That's why Hummer departures are captained only by our most senior guides, trained specifically on this vehicle's handling.
