Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: July 31, 2026

At Luxury Desert Safari Tours, we understand that travel plans can change. Our Cancellation Policy explains how customers can cancel or reschedule bookings and what cancellation charges may apply.

By making a booking with Luxury Desert Safari Tours, you agree to the cancellation terms outlined below.

Scope of This Cancellation Policy

This policy applies to bookings made for our tourism and leisure experiences, including:

  • Desert Safari Dubai
  • Morning Desert Safari
  • Evening Desert Desert Safari
  • Private Desert Safari
  • VIP Desert Safari
  • Dune Buggy Dubai
  • Quad Bike Dubai
  • Camel Ride Experiences
  • Dubai City Tours
  • Customized Tours
  • Other activities and experiences offered by Luxury Desert Safari Tours

Some packages or third-party services may have different cancellation conditions. Where specific cancellation terms are provided at the time of booking, those terms will take precedence.

Cancellation More Than 24 Hours Before the Tour

Customers may cancel their booking more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time without a cancellation charge.

Where the booking qualifies for a refund, the applicable amount will be processed according to our Refund Policy.

We recommend submitting cancellation requests as early as possible to avoid any issues.

Cancellation Within 24 Hours

Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time may be subject to cancellation charges.

In general, bookings cancelled within this period may be non-refundable, as arrangements for vehicles, drivers, guides, activities, meals, and other services may already have been confirmed.

Where exceptional circumstances apply, we may review the request on a case-by-case basis.

Same-Day Cancellation

Cancellations made on the day of the scheduled tour are generally non-refundable.

By the day of the tour, resources may already have been allocated, including:

  • Vehicles
  • Drivers
  • Guides
  • Desert camp reservations
  • Activity slots
  • Meals
  • Entertainment
  • Other third-party services

If an unexpected situation occurs, please contact us immediately. We may be able to offer an alternative arrangement depending on availability and circumstances.

No-Show Policy

A booking will generally be considered a no-show if the customer:

  • Does not appear at the agreed pickup location;
  • Is not available when the driver arrives;
  • Provides incorrect or incomplete pickup information;
  • Cannot be reached using the contact information provided;
  • Leaves the pickup location before the scheduled pickup;

Fails to notify us of their inability to attend.

No-show bookings are generally non-refundable.

Late Arrival

Customers are responsible for being ready at the designated pickup location at the agreed time.

Our tours often involve multiple bookings and scheduled activities. If a customer is not available when the driver arrives, the driver may be required to continue the route.

Late arrival may therefore result in:

  • Reduced tour time;
  • Missed activities;
  • Cancellation of the booking;

The booking being treated as a no-show.

No refund will normally be provided where the customer misses the tour due to their own late arrival.

Rescheduling Your Booking

If your plans change, you may request to reschedule your tour instead of cancelling it.

Rescheduling is subject to availability and the conditions of your booking.

We recommend requesting a change at least 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time.

Depending on availability, we may allow you to move your booking to another date.

Additional charges may apply if:

  • The new date has a higher price;
  • A different package is selected;
  • Additional activities are added;

Third-party supplier charges apply.

Last-minute rescheduling cannot always be guaranteed.

Cancellation by Luxury Desert Safari Tours

In rare circumstances, we may need to cancel or significantly modify a tour because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

These may include:

  • Severe weather conditions
  • Unsafe desert conditions
  • Government instructions or restrictions
  • Road closures
  • Natural disasters
  • Operational emergencies
  • Serious safety concerns
  • Third-party supplier issues
  • Other unforeseen circumstances

If we cancel your booking before the tour begins, we will make reasonable efforts to offer:

  • An alternative date;
  • An alternative experience; or

An applicable refund.

The available option will depend on the circumstances and the terms of your booking.

Weather-Related Cancellation

Most of our tours take place outdoors and may be affected by weather or environmental conditions.

If weather conditions do not allow an activity to operate safely, we may modify, postpone, or cancel the affected activity.

Safety always takes priority.

Where a tour is cancelled by us because it cannot safely operate, we will contact the customer and discuss an appropriate alternative or refund in accordance with the booking conditions.

Cancellation of Individual Activities

Some packages contain multiple activities, such as:

  • Dune bashing
  • Camel riding
  • Sandboarding
  • Quad biking
  • Dune buggy rides
  • Desert camp experiences
  • Live entertainment
  • BBQ dinner

If one activity becomes unavailable due to safety, weather, operational, or supplier reasons, we may substitute it with a suitable alternative where possible.

The unavailability of one activity does not automatically mean that the entire booking will be cancelled or refunded.

Where a significant paid service cannot be replaced, we will review whether a partial refund is appropriate.

Third-Party Cancellation Conditions

Some services may be provided by independent third-party suppliers.

These may include:

  • Transportation companies
  • Desert camps
  • Adventure activity operators
  • Restaurants
  • Entertainment providers
  • Tourist attractions
  • Other service providers

Certain third-party services may have their own cancellation deadlines and charges.

If a third-party cancellation condition applies to your booking, that condition may be communicated to you before or during the booking process and may take precedence over our general cancellation terms.

Special and Promotional Bookings

Certain bookings may have special cancellation conditions.

These may include:

  • Promotional offers
  • Discounted packages
  • Peak-season bookings
  • Private events
  • Customized tours
  • Large group bookings
  • Special occasion packages
  • Non-refundable rates

If special cancellation terms apply, they will be communicated at the time of booking.

Group Bookings

Group and corporate bookings may require different cancellation arrangements because they often involve advance reservations for vehicles, guides, venues, meals, and activities.

The cancellation terms for group bookings will be communicated separately where applicable.

Flight Delays and Travel Disruptions

Customers are responsible for ensuring they arrive at the designated pickup location on time.

If you are unable to attend because of:

  • Flight delays
  • Flight cancellations
  • Airport delays
  • Traffic
  • Missed connections
  • Changes to your accommodation
  • Other personal travel arrangements

the standard cancellation and no-show terms may apply.

Please contact us as soon as possible if your travel plans are disrupted. We will make reasonable efforts to assist where possible.

Cancellation Due to Personal Circumstances

If you need to cancel because of illness, family circumstances, travel changes, or another personal reason, please contact us as early as possible.

Depending on the circumstances and the amount of notice provided, we may offer:

  • Rescheduling;
  • Travel credit;
  • Partial refund; or

Full refund where applicable.

Any exception to the standard cancellation terms is considered at our discretion and may require supporting documentation.

Refunds Following Cancellation

Where a cancellation qualifies for a refund, the refund will be processed according to our Refund Policy.

Approved refunds will generally be returned through the original payment method where possible.

The time required for funds to appear in your account may depend on the payment provider, bank, card issuer, or other financial institution.

Non-Refundable Bookings

Certain bookings may be clearly identified as non-refundable at the time of purchase.

Non-refundable bookings generally cannot be cancelled in exchange for a refund unless:

  • We agree otherwise in writing; or

A refund is required under applicable law.
