How to get there
Car
Recommended
Self-driving is an option. The primary route is Dubai-Hatta Road (E44). Set the destination to Al Awir Desert Safari Camp. A 4x4 vehicle is needed for off-road driving.
Shuttle
Recommended
Most desert safari packages include round-trip transportation in 4x4 vehicles, with pick-up from hotels or designated points across Dubai.
Taxi
Recommended
Taxis are readily available in Dubai and offer a direct route to the Al Awir desert. Confirm the specific camp location with the driver beforehand.
Bus
Several bus lines (11, 11A, 16) service the Al Awir area, but the nearest stops (Amardi, Road 3 - 01) require a 12-minute walk to the desert camps.
