A Private Family Safari (Quad Bike & Camel Ride) combines thrilling adventure with cultural immersion, all wrapped in a personal, family-focused experience. It’s not just about the ride—it’s about the memories created together under open desert skies. This excursion lets families bond while zipping through the sands on quad bikes and then embracing tradition with a peaceful camel ride. It’s a perfect blend of excitement and relaxation.
The Private Family Safari Quad Bike Camel Ride is a curated desert experience designed specifically for families who want both thrill and quality time. Instead of squeezing into a group tour with strangers, you enjoy your own guide, your own pace, and plenty of personalized moments. It’s more than a tour—it’s a bonding adventure.
It’s the exclusivity. No long lines, no awkward waiting, just your family and the golden dunes. A private safari is tailored to your preferences, your schedule, and your comfort level. Plus, it’s quieter, safer, and far more intimate—ideal for building family memories.
Kick off the trip with a burst of adrenaline as your family hops onto quad bikes and takes off across the open sand. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, quad biking is exhilarating. Helmets and safety gear are provided, and younger children can ride tandem with adults. It’s the perfect way to burn some energy and set the tone for the rest of the adventure.
After the speed, it’s time to slow down and connect with the desert in a more traditional way. The camel ride takes your family on a calm, scenic journey through sandy trails. Guides lead the camels gently, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and safe. It’s also a great photo opportunity!
This safari beautifully balances two contrasting experiences. You’ll feel the rush of the quad bike, followed by the calm sway of a camel beneath you. It’s a journey through both time and terrain, moving from modern machines to ancient animals.
Shared tours can be hectic. With a private family safari, you set the pace. You stop for breaks when needed, get help for kids or seniors, and never feel rushed. It’s also more hygienic and personalized—your guide can tailor the experience based on your family’s needs and preferences.
Most tours allow children aged 6+ to join as passengers on quad bikes and to ride camels. Teenagers might be allowed to ride solo bikes with supervision. Safety is always a top priority: guides explain rules clearly, helmets are fitted, and camel rides are led by handlers.
Families with kids, grandparents, or even those with mild mobility issues can participate. However, pregnant women, people with serious back or neck problems, or children under age limits may be advised against certain activities. Always confirm with the provider before booking.
Most tours last 2–3 hours, with options to extend the ride, include a sunset dinner, or combine with other desert activities like sandboarding or Bedouin camp visits. Flexibility is the key—being private, the tour can be adapted on the go.
You’ll be greeted with friendly staff who give you a quick safety briefing, adjust your helmets, and demonstrate the quad bike controls. Then it’s off to the tracks, followed by the slower camel trek. Breaks are included for water, photos, and rest.
As you ride, the desert opens up in every direction—undulating dunes, distant cliffs, and maybe a camel caravan on the horizon. Guides often know the best photo spots and will help take those frame-worthy family shots.
Some safaris include visits to a Bedouin village, where families can learn about desert traditions, try local tea, or see how bread is made in sand ovens. These moments add rich cultural context to your adventure.
Guides on private family tours are trained not just in safety but also in storytelling. They’ll share fun facts about the region, point out desert animals, and ensure every member of your family is comfortable and engaged.

Expect helmets, goggles, and trained staff. Camels are carefully chosen for their temperament, and rides are always accompanied. Insurance, first aid kits, and emergency plans are usually in place with reputable providers.
Late afternoon offers cooler temps and beautiful lighting. Avoid midday sun, especially in summer months. Winter (October–April) is the most comfortable season, though summer mornings can still be manageable.
