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 was my favourite activity of the week. It’s a must when visiting Dubai!!! Our guide Khaled was fantastic so much so I left a key ring in the car and he dropped it into the hotel reception. He gave us great information and advice on what to do for our remaining days in Dubai.

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.

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.

Abdul was very knowledgeable about what he was doing and was very respectful! He made sure we were all okay during the tour and also drove very safe! I would want to have Abdul again as my tour guide anytime we’re back in Dubai. Thank you so much Abdul!!

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!

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.

Felt super safe from pickup. Our driver was fab and lovely to our six year old daughter. We had a great day and definitely recommended. A must for desert pics too and no extra charges once you’re there as we’ve found with other experiences. Thank you

Great itinerary and highly recommended activity when visiting Dubai. Our driver Zahid was well organised and gave us instructions at each stop in the desert experience. I really enjoyed the dune bashing, sand boarding and the camp activities to end the night. The short camel ride was definitely a highlight as well as the amazing entertainment provided at the camp Al Jabal Village. The bbq dinner was superb, amazing food was provided and well organised. Just be prepared for various sellers approaching you selling various souvenirs etc
