Yes, it is safe, we provided you choose the right type of safari. For infants and toddlers, we recommend a private desert safari without dune bashing. This ensures a calm, smooth ride and allows you to travel at your own pace. We also provide baby car seats to ensure your child’s comfort and safety.
Bring all baby essentials such as:
If you’re booking a private tour, a baby car seat is included free of charge (on request). On shared tours, car seats are available for 100 AED and must be requested during booking.
Strollers are only allowed in private vehicles and must be foldable. The desert terrain is sandy and uneven, so a baby carrier is often more practical at the campsite.
There is no official minimum age to visit the desert, but for shared safaris with dune bashing, we do not recommend bringing children under 3 years old. For infants and toddlers, a private, non bumpy safari is the safest and most comfortable option.
Yes! A Dubai desert safari with a 1 year-old is possible and quite enjoyable when booked as a gentle or private safari.
Yes, our camp includes clean and hygienic restrooms. While there are not a formal changing tables, but there is ample space to manage diaper changes privately and comfortably.
