Sand, Sky & Spine-Tingling Stories You’ll Tell Forever

There’s a moment in the desert when the sun sinks low, the wind stills, and everything goes silent, except your heart pounding with thrill. In Dubai, that moment isn’t just possible. It’s practically scheduled.

For Indian thrill-seekers, 2025 is the year to stop dreaming and start living it. Because Dubai isn’t offering cookie-cutter safaris anymore, it’s handing out adrenaline highs, luxury lows, and memories so big they won’t fit in your luggage.

From skydiving over Palm Jumeirah to private desert dinners under starlit skies, the desert is no longer just a landscape; it’s a lifestyle. And the best part? You don’t have to piece it all together on your own. LocalHi handles every detail seamlessly, and in INR.

The Dubai Desert Safari You’ll Brag About For Years

A desert safari in Dubai is like no other. Think of it as bold adventure meets luxe escape, in all the best ways. And it’s not just one kind of experience, it’s a choose-your-own-adventure scenario.

Pick your vibe:

  • Dune bashing in a 4x4 that moves like it’s in a race against gravity

  • Camel rides at golden hour, perfect for your next Instagram reel

  • Quad biking solo or in pairs

  • Henna artists, falconry demos, fire shows, and a traditional BBQ dinner that doesn’t forget your dietary preferences

If you're Indian, you’ll appreciate this:

  • 100% vegetarian BBQ (Jain options available)

  • Private tents and setups for families, groups, or romantic couples

  • Hindi-speaking guides and INR-based billing

Cost Snapshot:

  • Group Safari: From ₹3,500 per person

  • Private Luxury Safari: ₹15,000–₹22,000 per person (with hotel pick-up, gourmet dinner, and no tourists crashing your vibe)

And you won’t be hunting down unknown operators or clicking through endless websites. Just ask LocalHi, they plan it like they’ve done it a hundred times. Because they have.

Skydiving Over the Palm: For the Bold, Not the Basic

Imagine this: You, 13,000 feet up in the air, strapped to a pro, heart thumping, about to leap into the skies above Palm Jumeirah.

This is Dubai’s most iconic adventure, and no, the photos don’t do it justice.

  • Where: Skydive Dubai – Palm Dropzone

  • How Much: ₹55,000–₹60,000 (includes HD photos and video)

  • How Long: 3–4 hours from safety briefing to the victory high-five

If you’re flying in from Delhi, Mumbai, or Bengaluru, LocalHi helps you pre-book prime slots and handles all logistics, so all you have to do is show up and fly.

First time? Don’t worry. It’s a tandem jump. Someone’s got your back, literally.

Hot Air Ballooning: For the Adventurer With a Soft Side

Not a fan of jumping out of planes? No problem.
How about floating over the desert at sunrise, sipping kahwa as the dunes glow gold beneath you?

A hot air balloon ride in Dubai feels like something out of a movie. Quiet, surreal, impossibly romantic, and perfect if you’re traveling as a couple or with parents.

  • Price: ₹25,000–₹35,000 per person

  • Includes: Hotel transfers, gourmet breakfast, live falconry show

  • Food: Vegetarian and Jain options available

Family-Friendly? 100%. Thrilling? Absolutely.

Not every Indian thrill-seeker travels solo. More and more Indian families are hitting the Dubai dunes, with kids, grandparents, and cousins in tow. And the desert is ready.

Here’s what’s possible:

  • Private 4x4 safaris with child seats

  • Mini dune buggies for kids aged 5 and above

  • Camel treks with professional photographers on standby
