TL;DR
You can book excursions in advance through a tour operator back home, or arrange them on arrival in Dubai — booking locally is usually cheaper, but the exact price is only confirmed at booking; you can also ask a local guide directly for the current excursion list and prices.
Excursions can also be booked directly through the hotel's own website, not only via a tour operator — tours are sold for the nearest upcoming dates.
A local guide is currently offering excursions this season, but the exact list and prices need to be confirmed directly with them — there's no fixed public price list.
Travelers recommend buying excursions only from verified local guides or agencies on the ground, not from random online sellers.
Not every tour operator has started selling tours to this destination yet — it's worth calling around to find one that does.
Booking through a tour operator back home takes longer to process, while arranging excursions on arrival is faster — though the exact price is only given at the time of local booking.
A common question from travelers is simply where to buy excursions at all — there's no single answer, it depends on whether you book in advance from home or locally on arrival.
Tours to this destination are also sold through home-country travel agencies (for example, Bibliogloбус in Russia) — check with your local travel agent, even if sales only opened recently.
