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.

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.

Bawa our safari guide did a great job on the trip. He was a great driver, answered all our questions, and was very nice. The trip was excellent and all the activities were very exciting. There was plenty of time for everything and nothing felt rushed.

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

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.

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.
