Wonderful experience from start to finish! From the time we were picked up at our hotel, we were greeted with such warmth and welcoming by our affable and knowledgeable tour guide, Taj. Taj took the time to brief us on each scheduled activity, answer all our questions, and offer useful tips on how to maximize each experience. We started off with the ATV ride through the desert, then procedeed to do dune bashing, sand surfing, and camel riding, all of which was such great fun for the whole family!!

It was without doubt the best value for money experience we have had in Dubai and we’ve done lots. Quad biking was great, adrenaline pumping sand duning, camel riding, sand boarding, fantastic sunset picture opportunities finished off with a lovely evening in the desert watching local entertainment and eating great food. It’s a must do. The guide we had was fantastic as well really tentative and helpful.

First time in dubai and we had the best time with our driver abdul. He is literally the best. He made this experience fun & we recommend him always. Each part of this excursion he got us to go first, so there was no waiting. My husband and i loved this.

This excursion is truly amazing. We started off the day dunning through the desert, then sand boarding and had time to take plenty pictures, then camel riding, and finally dinner and show at a desert compound. The food was delicious. We were served BBQ chicken and lamb, with plenty side dishes and unlimited drinks. Nameer was our driver, who was funny, patient and outgoing. He made our experience super fun and enjoyable. We truly had great time, and were conveniently picked up and dropped off at our hotel. I highly recommend this excursion. It’s a great price for all that is included.

Arif was very friendly, very punctual and brilliant with communication. He explained everything very well and made sure the group were okay throughout the trip. The tour was so much fun and was so lovely to see Dubai away from all the high buildings. Arif gave us lots of information about Dubai as we drove to the desert. The evening entertainment and BBQ was fab. Very enjoyable. The sand dunes were so much fun, definitely worth doing this tour

I especially loved the dune bashing and the ATV ride! However, if you are faint of heart, you may want to consider skipping out on the dune bashing, lol. To then cap what was already a fun-filled day, we had the pleasure of indulging at the BBQ buffet dinner while watching a show of beautiful traditional dance performances...just an overall delight!! In short, our day's agenda was perfectly planned and executed! I would definitely recommend this activity for anyone visiting Dubai! "

Mr. Taj showed extreme level of professionalism. He was exactly on time while picking me up from my location. He went an extra mile to make me comfortable, he was very open for conversation and really told me everything about different places in dubai and where i can go to. He was very polite and jolly. Really loved the experience. I would definitely want Mr. Taj again next time i come to Dubai

It was not as great as I was expecting. First of all, it was disappointing that we were not informed that so many things are chargeable. For example, the first stop was at a quad biking area where you had to pay 200 AED for 20 mins of biking - or else wait for 40 mins doing nothing. The sunset photo shoot was not included as during the sunset time we were inside the car going somewhere. Desert stop was nice but very crowded as there were more than 15 cars that made a stop there. Finally, the camel ride is literally 2 minutes and also in the dark cause it was after sunset. The dinner and show experience were overall of good quality but everything felt very "tourist trap"- even here , the "free henna" and "free shisha" were only free partially.. the food was tasty and there was a lot available. Show was enjoyable too.
