Ebrahim was amazing! We...
Ebrahim was amazing! We missed a connecting flight and had never been to Dubai. So we scheduled this half day tour to see the sites while waiting for our new flight. Our hotel was out of the area they normally pick up from, but he came and picked us up from there and dropped us back off there with no issues. He far exceeded our expectations and knew the answers to all of our questions! Exceptional tour and would highly recommend!

Worth Every Dollar!
What a great afternoon & evening. Our guide, Ravi, was prompt and professional all day long. Every aspect of this excursion was fun and fulfilling. So much authentic food was served at dinner, and gazing at the stars afterward in the middle of the desert was a great finish to the night. Highly recommend Heritage for this excursion.

Brilliant Desert Adventure with a Great Guide
We had a wonderful desert safari with Desert Fun Tourism. The dune bashing was thrilling, the quad biking was great fun, and sandboarding was something different and really enjoyable. We also loved the falcon photo opportunity and the camel ride — it made the whole experience feel authentic and well rounded.
The desert scenery was absolutely stunning. The endless golden dunes, the soft curves of the sand and the changing light made it feel almost cinematic. We stopped at some beautiful viewpoints where the views stretched for miles — perfect for photos and just taking in the atmosphere.
Farooq, our guide, was fantastic — friendly, professional and clearly very experienced. He made us feel completely safe during dune bashing and ensured everything ran smoothly. He also took the time to show us how to get the best photos in the desert light and helped capture some brilliant shots for us, which we really appreciated.
Would definitely recommend this company!

Thorough tour, engaging guide
Our guide, Muhammad Ali, was masterful… engaging, insightful and informative. The tour is thorough. You’ll likely enjoy some bits more than others. For me, the Dubai Creek ride was surprisingly enjoyable as was the date and coffee tasting in Old Dubai. Not a big fan of the souks, but they’re a must for others.

Amazing Experience and Guide
Cannot recommend enough. We had such a good time. The experience was amazing, but so was our driver. Musthafa was the best! I wish he could be our guide for all tours/experiences. So nice, professional, and knowledgeable.
Don't hesitate to book this tour, and if possible, ask for Musthafa.

Great tour!
Very enjoyable afternoon learning so much about UAE’s history, culture, religion and food!!! Interesting, informative and fun. All the treats were delicious. Grateful to Mustafa for sharing his love and passion of his culture. Highly recommend this tour. We had an unexpected layover after a missed connection and it was a perfect introduction to Dubai!

Totally Awesome Dubai Desert Adventure
Outstanding setup and booking / great hotel pickup in a nice SUV / very helpful guide / Wahid was awesome and explained all about Dubai and the desert. Super fun all-pro dune buggies and extremely cool to ride the dunes and desert. Strongly recommended for all ages. If you like adventure, don’t miss this one. My wife and I loved it. And the camel ride and photo ops were great too. You won’t regret it.

A good tour in Dubai including the Frame
A very good half day tour coupled with a tour of the Frame. A small group so very manageable. Started at the Blue Mosque and took in pictures at the museum of the future, the frame before taking in the spices and gold souls, a boat ride and a traditional coffee. The Frame tour was an experience not to be missed.
Sunny the guide was excellent, as he was knowledgeable, charming and addressed any small glitches that may have popped up.

The half day tour with Jaiswal was a great experience. He was very friendly and explained each stop and landmarks. He is a safe driver. He’s also a great photographer so don’t hesitate to give him your phone to take pics lol! I would recommend this tour

Loved the experience. ...
Loved the experience.
Been given latest updates on all the information regarding the location and meeting point through whatsapp. Got plenty of sail time.
And one other thing we noticed that the if crowd were assigned to different boats based on nationality as it was pretty obvious.

Excellent half day tour to get to experience Dubai
This was an excellent tour and great way to experience and learn more about old and new Dubai. The tour guide, Jaweria, was very knowledgeable, sharing her expertise every step of the way. She was also very thoughtful and friendly which made the experience very enjoyable. The driver, Badshah, was very professional and efficient. Highly recommend to those that have 3-4 hours and want to get a true feel for the city (plus some shopping opportunities). Thank you.
