An absolute recommendation for the team! Absolutely everything was perfect. The pickup from the hotel was on time, our driver ANTHONY was super nice and brought us safely to our destination. The on-site briefing contained all the necessary information and any questions were answered in detail. The tour was super good and worth every penny! We actually had 2 hours of driving time (fortunately we had booked that, because 1 hour is over much too quickly). We had two short drinking and photo stops along the way, once at camels and once for sandboarding. Our guide ARMAND organized the trip optimally, we had a lot of fun in the desert and could have continued for hours. We were lucky and there were only four of us plus the guide and the driving level was right so that the action wasn't neglected. Back at the starting point, Anthony was already waiting for us with an air-conditioned car and cool water and brought us safely back to the hotel.
Our guide picked us up at our hotel exactly at the time that we were told. We immediately connected well with him and after picking up two more guests we were on our way. Our guide was very informative throughout the trip and provided clear instructions so we could easily follow along. The quad riding, desert bashing, sand surfing we all incredible! Great driving ! On one of the stops, he took us aside and took the best pictures ever! He asked us to pose and jump in all kinds of scenes and the resulting pictures are absolutely stunning! These will end up on instagram and in nice frames back home, for sure! This really makes this one-time experience unforgettable! We stayed overnight and had a great evening program with a camel ride, great dinner and an even better relax/chill time with arabic coffee, tea, dates, sweets, fruit and of course, shisha! Absulutely wonderful! He went above and beyond - great guy! Thank you!
Thank you so much for what has been an absolutely superb day and fantastic experience. 9 of us in our party are we are all extremely impressed. From the very beginning everything has been done with precision. The dune bashing (an experience not to be missed) then sand boarding (hilarious fun and some bruised egos abound) to the Beautiful Oasis which completely exceeded all expectations. Fun camel rides (can see what they are considered the ships of the desert). Great food and plenty of it along with all the complimentary drinks left us all with very satisfied bellies. Then the Shisha and show which acts just blew us away. Even got chance to handle the Falcon (awesome bird). Then a smooth ride back to the hotel fully rested. Really cannot thank you and the team enough. We will never forget this and will recommend to everyone we know intending a trip to the amazing Dubai.
I would say that this experience was the highlight of my Dubai trip. I checked off bucket list items that weren't even there before, like sand boarding, dune bashing and handling the falcon! Sleeping overnight in the desert and riding the camal (twice!) were on my list, but are now ticked off. The food was delicious and plentiful, the campground and sleeping tent were amazing and our driver/guide was fabulous. He was in touch with me about my pickup, which was very helpful to me, and he is an excellent driver and dune basher! He was there to take pictures for me at every point in the adventure, so I have wonderful images to show my friends and family at home. The campground, itself, wasn't far enough from the lights of the city to be able to have a star-filled desert sky but other than that, the trip was perfect! Thanks, for all you did to make this a memorable event!
It was marvelous experience perfectly. At first, my wonderful guide picked me up at hotel with Toyota Land Cruiser, then we went to desert. I have never imagined I ride Toyota Land Cruiser in my life, because I don't need this. However there was necessity absolutely. Our splendid guide drived in the desert so technically, it made us so excited. Actually, we shouted a few times. It was like an attraction in Disney world or Universal Studio. If I could, I want to do again. After such stunned experience we did camel ride. Camels sat down for us, then we walked in the desert. Camels are so cute, I can't forget their cute eyes, long eyelash, fluffy ears... At the camp, we enjoyed hena tatoo, taking picture with falcon , super delicious Arabia dine and spectacles. Especially, I love that fire guy! I had special time, thanks to our amazing guide.
This experience exceeded our expectations by far! Everything that was promised was delivered ... and some! Truly one of the best experiences of my life . Rashid was nothing short of a perfect guide. From the moment he picked us up , he was full of energy and knowledge and made the one hour car ride seem like a minute . We stopped at a market & got traditional head scarves. He recommended NOT eating before the sand bashing which I absolutely agree with ! Once in the desert we got amazing pictures of the sunset. Rashid was extremely tech saavy & not only took all of our photos but air dropped them all to us throughout the excursion. After the sand bashing we rode camels, took pictures with the falcon and ate traditional Arabic food that was to die for! Hands down some of the best food I’ve had in my whole life .
The whole trip far exceeded my expectations! The staff, organization, activities, and food were fantastic. My (mom and two daughters) report: Our guide/driver/dune surf instruction Siddik communicated pickup time, and arrived promptly. The dune bashing was fun and my kids enjoyed it too. After the drive on the dunes, a quick photo shoot, and on to try sand sledding and surfing. The photos made my day! Siddik coaxed the kids into position and took awesome photos! He also convinced me, mama, to try sand surfing after my 11 year old nailed it on the first try. At the camp, there are people from all groups (same company though), with shisha, henna, beverages, souvenirs, a falcon to pose with, etc for no extra charge! We were assigned a table and called to dinner and dessert interspersed with shows on the stage.
This is an outing that I would do again and again. It’s a fun time. The food is abundant and staff helpful and friendly. The sales kiosks are touristy so take that into consideration before buying souvenirs. We truly enjoyed the experience and it will be part of one of our upcoming adventure videos. We were especially lucky to be in the vehicle with wonderful people who quickly became friends. our guide, was experienced and knew how to make a trip go smoothly. He’s able to help his group find the best of each activity and is a wonderful help with photography. He has a level of knowledge that I think is exceptional. Be sure to plan at least an hour in the sheesha tent before bedtime. Lots of new friends to be made there!
This was our best experience in Dubai (Dune surfing, shows, sleeping in the middle of the desert, excellent dinner & breakfast) and frankly I think the most important factor was your guide. Our guide was SUUUPERB. The trip coincided with my wife's birthday so I wanted to organise a surprise birthday cake for her in the middle of the desert. Guide arranged it all and to the perfection. He explained the history of the city and sites. Excellent driving skills on the red dunes. :)) You do feel the thrill. He took very good care of us during the camping, and was also very kind. I cannot stress enough how much it's important to get a very good guide for this trip. Thank you for creating this memorable journey.
Female solo traveler here, I booked this the night before and was promptly confirmed. Overall trip was a blast!!! strongly recommend you book this trip even just by yourself. Sheru was my driver, very lovely guy and easy to talk to. Any questions I had he would answer. There was all men at the atv site but never once did I feel unsafe. rode around on the biggest atv (a MUST do if you're going out to the desert) at a discount. Then headed off to the desert for dune bashing which was thrilling and a little scary, but not too crazy. Then after a million pictures and some light shopping at the tire refilling place, we went back to the hotel. I would surely do this activity again.
The activity should be mandatory for all visitors to Dubai. The experiences are second to none and the memories will last forever. The option to do quad biking is definitely one that should be taken up, getting let loose on the dunes is a great way to start the experience before the roller coaster that is the dune bashing in the Land Cruiser. The scenery is breathtaking and there's plenty of photo opportunities while you try sandboarding. From there it gets a lot more leisurely with a camel ride then the evening entertainment which is not to be missed, the fire dancer, tamoura dancer and belly dancer were all excellent and a great way to spend the time between eating.
There are so many of these desert safaris to choose from that it's hard to get the right one. I can only applaud travels and our wonderful guide/driver. Guide is the most knowledgeable, friendly caring guide you could ask for. He happily answered every single question sent his way. While pointing out the wonders and the history of everything on our tour. The tour we went on was actually the red desert and Al Marmoom camp. What a fantastic experience my wife and I will cherish forever. Not only did we dune bash with our expert driver, sandboard down the dunes, see flamingos in the lakes, have a great bbq, watch amazing shows and see gazels on the way home.
Guide is an exceptional host. Pick up was on time, the car was very clean, and smells great. He greeted us with water, charger cords to charge our phones, and made sure our safety was first. On the way to the tour, He has a lot of knowledge about the country and history of UAE. We got to the tour very safe, no hard brakes while driving and it was super smooth. You could go to sleep. During the tour , he explained everything very well, and he allowed the group to ask several questions and he always had the answers. Guide is the top host here and you're lucky to have him as your host if you get him. Thank you for your Amazing hospitality.
Pick up was swift and efficient. Using WhatsApp was an easy way to settle the worry. Our driver was fantastic, he was very informative about the trip and Dubai in general. Our trip was cut short to start with as our little girl did not like the sand dune journey. But the driver was amazing, he dropped her off with the mum and we continued. Then he took the mum out for a single trip after ours, for a little time as she had missed out. He didn’t need to do this but understood the issue and sympathised with the situation. A pleasure to be around. Many thanks to that driver. A great experience all around. Please travel with these guys.
We (girl's trip, 10 of us) just returned from Dubai and did this safari trip. It really is a must, the value is perfect and you get so much out of it. Communication was flawless, the activities were so much fun one after another, the entertainment top notch, the food was fresh and delicious, definitely a must and would recommend. The value for this package is unbelievable. The guides were knowledgable, respectful and really fun we had Mido and Imran who were funny, took amazing pictures and were just unbelievably kind. We all recommend this trip and though it was last week, it always comes back in our conversations. Book yours now
Everything went great. We were taken for a ride in the desert, it was fun. ATV riding is included in the price and is more profitable if you take it on the spot. The descent on the board from the mountain is not included, but you will not turn yellow if you pay and go down (note that the return ascent is too heavy). The views are amazing, the photos are saturated. The only drawback is that the dinner in the village is a little strange and they constantly persistently offer to buy unnecessary things. But considering all the advantages, this does not overshadow the tour in any way. In general, we are delighted.
We had amazing time thanks to our one and only Master of driving and Super care guide. He did all he can to make us feel comfortable in the desert, on the bike, on the camp and overall as attitude towards our group. We managed to touch and taste the local atmosphere with his guidance and wonderful sense of humor. The food on the camp was super tasty and all services included in the ticket were delivered on high level. Our great experience today wasn't being possible without the professional and warm attitude . We highly recommend him as driver and guide of this amazing experience in Dubai.
This was the highlight of our Dubai trip. The whole experience was beyond amazing. Our guide was so attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made sure we don't lack any comfort every minute of the trip. The dune bashing and sandboarding filled me with adrenaline. But the best of all was the camel ride. You just can't get enough of it. And the great thing is that you can ask for as many rides as you want. The night activities were top, especially the fire dancer: he was incredible. I highly recommend sleeping over in the tent. The tiny bit of extra money you'll pay is totally worth it.
"I had a great experience with this activity. I was a bit anxious as a female solo traveller but I felt safe throughout and it was great to share the experience with other people. I was picked up from my accommodation promptly at the time confirmed the night before. Great value for money with this experience. Tour guide was brilliant and took lots of photos to capture the moment. Only thing would be that it took a bit longer than advertised (traffic!) but I had nothing else booked for the remainder of the day so this was no issue. Would definitely recommend this activity!
"
The experience was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the overnight experience. Our guides were phenomenal hosts. This experience was like none other, the food was plentiful, delicious and wholesome. The activities are engaging and fun. Rafeeq was a more than our tour guide he was our friend and made the experience feel like we were visiting a friend who made us feel very welcome and comfortable. His driving skills during Dune Bashing made for an extra special time. When we come back to Dubai we would love to be. I recommend this experience to anyone thinking about it.
He arrived on time, was very pleasant and easy converse with. Time passed by very quickly as result as he turned out to be very knowledgeable. It was a wonderful desert experience. The sand dune bashing was as thrilling as any roller coaster ride. After some Falcon pictures, I had two enjoyable attempts at sand boarding while seated. The bigger challenge turned out to be climbing up the soft desert sand. Quad biking with the family was much fun as well. On the journey back, Ismail continued to provide historic facts and insights into the development of Dubai.
If you are in dubai you dont want to miss desert safari tour. Our guide was super friendly,courteous & prompt on picking us up from the hotel.He was Very knowledgeable about the history and places in Dubai & educated us throughout the tour.We had so much fun riding quads & learning to sandboard.Icing on the cake was the land cruiser ride over the dunes & eanjoy sunset followed by an awesome Middle Eastern bbq dinner to top it off we got to watch some amazing artists including Egyptian Tanoura,khaleegy & fire show performances while enjoying Shisha & dessert.
I had an absolute blast with our guide! He went above and beyond to make sure today was a comfortable, fun, and safe experience! He took us dune bashing and seemed to be the best driver there! We also went sandboarding, and he also helped me to take photos and sunset photos since my phone wasn't working! I couldn't reccomend this trip! food was absolutely amazing, and the dancing was great- I especially loved the belly dancing and campfire! The campfire was very cozy and the staff were fun to talk to :) they even made a private bed for me.
I highly recommend this experience, everything was beyond expectations, lot of activities were included in the price, great great deal for what they offer. our tour guide also took the experience to a whole other level. he is such a great person and friendly and funny and great filmaker and photographer. He took amazing shots of us to commemorate the moments. the food, the camel rides, the shows, the welcome tea and Arabian coffee on point. The shisha with the stars was great. Book this experience and if you can get you will be lucky...
He went above woth his photography skills and was really personable and made the experience much better with little tips here and there to get the most out of it. All the activities involved were great too, if you are looking to ride a quad, book in advance to save paying premium on the day. We didn’t opt for it thinking we’d be fine without it but changed our minds when we got there, you wait for those booked it regardless. Even with the premium price, it was still worth it and again, guide was great here too. Highly recommend!
I loved everything about the experience. My guide was really nice and took the best care of us. The Dune Bashing and sandboarding is really fun and Imran always made sure we are okay. The desert camp was beautiful and I liked that it wasn't too touristic as opposed to a different camp that I visited too. The food was delicious and so was the local tea/coffee. I loved the Shisha lounge, especially because we had it all to ourselves once the non-overnight guests left. I will for sure come back next time I'm in Dubai!
Did the Dubai Desert Safari in September, 2022. Picked up from hotel. About 45 minutes drive to area in desert where you can go for ride on Quad bike (optional). After this, drive over desert dunes in Toyota LandCruiser. Then, drive to camp where your can go for ride on a camel, a sumptuous Middle eastern BBQ feast is served. After dinner, relax and watch middle eastern entertainers, dancing etc. then drove us back to our hotel. Guide is a professional safe driver and I felt very comfortable with him at the wheel.
This was the highlight of our trip. I was skeptical about sleeping in the desert overnight but I was completely wrong. I enjoyed every minute of it from the dune bashing to the buffet and the camel ride. I met some amazing people along the way and I recommend this excursion 1000%. A special shoutout to our travel guide who made sure that we had everything we needed. He was professional, knowledgable and punctual. We will point our friends to this particular excursion and we will tell them to request our guide
A fantastic desert experience that will allow you to understand the vast spaces and life in the desert. The camel rides, sitting in the camp among the tents, the food was all great, and if you get the opportunity stay for the night. You will appreciate the desert in the night like never before with all ots lights, sounds, smells and tastes of the shisha. Dune bashing with our guide was amazing. He is such a good driver - make sure to ask for him and pass him greetings from Lukas and the Polish family.
Amazing host and trip the Sand Bashing and Camel ride was a excellent experience. We booked the 3 hour slot and was back at the hotel for 11am before it got too hot which we thought was perfect and great value for money. Just for a thumbs up they do stop at a shop before you go dune bashing and you can dress up with the Arab head gear etc but it does cost you extra. We opted out and wasn't a problem but would have probably been worth it for the pictures the staff took on my phone on the camels.
"The experience was amazing - going out in the dunes with nothing but sand for miles, the driving through dunes and sand-boarding leaving me with a sense of adventure and some fun pictures, but mostly the experience was defined by the guide Niaz. He coached me through sand-boarding and encouraged me along the way to step out of my comfort zone so I had the absolute best time! 5 stars for this quick trip out to the dunes if you’re a bit strapped for time or want a more quiet experience.

An excellent and a memorable expirence at Dubai desert. Our guide made us feel very comfortable from moment he picked us and throughout the camp experience. A fun and thrilling ride dune bashing with Yasir behind the wheels. The talks over bonfire with falcon giving us company under midnight sky just made it a pleasant and unforgettable experience to hold onto. The facilities, entertainment, food, tent was very enjoyable with hospitality of crew. Thanks for a memorable one.
our guide arrived bang on time and was very understanding that we needed a few more minutes to get ready to go. once on the way, we all loved the dune bashing and it was a great adrenaline rush! We then enjoyed sand boarding. Guide was great. he took some fabulous pictures of us all and gave us plenty of goes on the sand board. quad biking was great and Ismail took some fantastic pictures of us on the camel. we all had an absolutely amazing time. would definitely recommend.
We were picked up by our guide who was fantastic the whole day. He took us to the camp where the buggies were it was a bit of a drive but well worth it. The buggies were amazing it was well organised and we’d definitely do it again. We were taken to a second camp for the remaining activities and the BBQ the whole experience was amazing and it was a massive part because of our guide who was there at every point and made sure we made the most of the day. Highly recommend
Amazing experience! Great crew that is watching for your comfort, safety and adrenaline. Starting with a long drive from Dubai and discussing different places and traditions on the road. Then getting into nicely build buggys (automatic gearbox). Driving for almost an hour with a break for photos and sandboarding. Finish at the camp with great local food, seeing dances, falcon and shisha. Btw. You can even stay for a night and see amazing night sky. Highly recommended!
WOWwwww... It was an amazing experience for me. I am so glad that I chose this activity. My drive made me comfortable on my way to the desert which helped me to just focus on enjoying the ride and nothing else. Everyone must definitely experience this. The 4*4 ride was adventurous followed by the Sand boarding. Niaz helped me take some beautiful pics and videos of me in the desert which I can cherish forever. Thank you for making this trip memorable
the all experience was amazing, it exceeded all my expectations! it was a very good experience to sleep in the desert. The camp was very clean, staff were very friendly and food was delicious. Our guide Mansoor Manz is a very nice and kind guy! He made our experience even better. It was very nice to meet him! He was always taking us pictures (he is a good photographer ) thank you very much! I recommend this experience to everyone!
The whole day was planned out extremely well and the set up of the camp was fantastic! Food was very good and the supply of drinks was constant which was needed in the extreme heat. The driver we had who was called Nias, was fantastic! He was friendly, funny and made the whole experience so much better he offered to take our phones multiple times to capture photographs of the trip and nothing was too much trouble for him
The experience was amazing, Our guide was amazing and did a fantastic job throughout the tour. His driving skills are exceptional during the sand dunes bashing and the way he communicated and explained the detials was very helpful through out. He recommended the dune buggy as a very good experience instead of the quad bike and that was one of a kind experience. The sunset stop that he made was just surreal.
Group of 3 people. The guide-viewer is the coolest guy, thank you for the warm welcome. Picked up from the hotel on time. We rode ATVs for 30 minutes, drove a group in a jeep through the desert, made a stop for 10 minutes for photos and rides on a board. After sunset, they took us to watch dancing and performances with fire. The food there was normal, I don't know why they complain in previous reviews.
