A Perfect Desert Adventure in Abu Dhabi

This desert safari was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The dune bashing was exciting but felt safe and well controlled, with a very skilled driver. Sandboarding was a lot of fun, even for beginners, and the camel ride added a calm, authentic touch to the trip. The BBQ dinner was tasty, with a good variety of food, and the atmosphere in the desert camp was relaxed and welcoming. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. A perfect way to experience the Abu Dhabi desert!

Great morning in Abu Dhabi

A great morning Ayoob was very knowledgable, and took us to some lovely places, and knew where the best photo stops were, great photographer too, helped us download our tickets for the mosque and even had robes for those that needed them. There were four of us on our trip so much better than going with lots of other people.

An Unforgettable Abu Dhabi Layover

We had an 8.5-hour layover in Abu Dhabi and it turned into one of the most beautiful and memorable days of our trip, all thanks to Khalid. The city itself is absolutely stunning — spotless, elegant, and full of breathtaking architecture and culture — and Khalid brought it all to life for us. He was extremely punctual, warm, and knowledgeable, with excellent English. Every stop felt special, and by the end of the day we truly felt like we were spending time with family. We loved every moment of our day with Khalid and fell in love with Abu Dhabi. Highly, highly recommend!

Morning dunes

I've done both this morning trip and an evening trip through another provider. I enjoyed the morning trip so much more and recommend to everyone. The time frame is better and it's less crowded at the camp so you get to enjoy aspects like camel ride and falcon without long lines. This trip was great and I'll do it again

Best way to experience Abu Dhabi in a Day!

Had a wonderful day with Shinoj! He was very courteous, thorough, informative and kind. We had a chance to modify the agenda for what we were interested in doing for the day. We spent the entire day together from 930 until 530, starting in Abu Dhabi. It was a low stress way to have someone local and experienced take you to all the sites and make it a great relaxing day. Highly recommended!

Half-Day Desert Safari from Abu Dhabi

Sonja_G, Dec 2025

Great experience

This was a really well organised slick tour. The drive is just over 1hr15 from Abu Dhabi, followed by dune bashing for about 30 minutes and photo stop. Plenty to do at camp (dune buggies and quads can be hired there) Food was really good and brilliantly organised, very professional. Lots of food choices - salads, pasta, chips, daals, bbq meats. You can buy alcohol at the bar there but tea / coffee and juices are free

Suzanne_M, Nov 2025

Best tour for a day in AD

This is a brilliant way to learn about Abu Dhabi and see the real gems. The best 3 things to do the tower view, the real Palace (not the hotel) and the Grand Mosque. The Palace was the highlight absolutely stunning. Hamza has a brilliant sense of humour so we had a lot of laughs and he is very knowledgeable. Great day out!

A wonderful day exploring Abu Dhabi with a superb guide.

A most interesting day seeing much of Abu Dhabi including the Heritage Village, Palace Hotel, date market, Yas Island and the beautiful white mosque. Our excellent driver and guide, Inam, was so knowledgeable about what we saw and he readily answered any questions. He was very friendly and flexible with our little group of 5.

Wonderfully Memorable.

Viji was my tour driver as he called himself rather than tour guide. After a few glitches with the internet to register for the Grand Mosque visit we were on our way. What an absolutely incredible time I had & the tour was far more than I expected. Viji quickly personalised it showing me the best & allowing me to experience some very unique opportunities eg having a Gold Cappuccino at the exquisite Emirates Palace Hotel along with some great photos to remember this fabulous time in Abu Dhabi. I’m very grateful. Such a wonderful tour.

Very fun experience and...

Very fun experience and kept us very busy which was nice. Arham was a great guide and helped us all along the way to continually keep us in the know about what was going on, and invite us to participate in shows. Vendors will try to sell extras to you but are very friendly and you can decline if you don’t want to pay anything extra than the base rate.
