Private Morning Desert Safari Dubai with Dune Bashing & Sandboard

Arum_P, Feb 2026

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!

Guide was exceptional

Hi, I would like to post a positive review for our Safari Guide in Dubai. His name is Muhammad Munir. Employee ID: 1104. He was very informed, an excellent dune bashing driver, and generous with his time when it came to taking photos. He exuded positive energy and we all shared interesting conversations with him on the drive. He was also very fun and supportive of those who chose to do a sand-boarding. I give him my highest recommendation!

What happens in DUBAI need not stay in DUBAI

Right on time, completely friendly guide who just wanted us to have the best experience. The attentiveness was great and communication. Only draw back was the pickup time being moved, but we realize the necessity of doing so. Overall, the activities, the service, the experience and the food were great.

Highly recommend

We had a fantastic desert safari experience and would absolutely recommend it. Everything was well organised from pickup to drop off, and the activities were great fun, especially the dune riding, sandboarding, and falcon photo. Our tour guide, Adnan, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and cared about making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He also went out of his way to help us take pictures, offering fun suggestions and even assisting with poses and angles, which made the photos extra memorable.🥹 Adnan shared information about Dubai and the desert throughout the tour, which added a lot of value to the experience. Overall, it was a smooth, enjoyable, and well run tour with a guide who truly went the extra mile. Highly recommended.

A must-do!!!

It was definitely the most beautiful day of our vacation. An activity that allowed us to take the time to enjoy every place we visited without being rushed. Exceptional scenery! The shows at camp, just wow! Stay until the end, very spectacular! Our guide, Shoaid, was extraordinary—very attentive, an excellent driver, and a great photographer. Without him, the day would not have been nearly as successful. Thank you for everything, Shoaid!

Our guide Shaban was very...

Our guide Shaban was very good. We loved the dune bashing & squad bikes. My son was sick on the way back from the dune bashing and the guide was really kind and quickly ordered us a bike to come and collect us. We found the trip really good value for money and would definitely recommend.

Desert Safari Overall Experience

Wow, wow, wow!!!! Thanks to Dream Night Tours for the Desert Safari adventure…it was exactly what we hoped it would be and more. And a huge thank you to our guide Hassan. He was fantastic. His knowledge about UAE (history, present & future plans) was superior. He kept us abreast of our itinerary and kept us on-time to make sure our experiences wasn’t delayed or denied. His patience was well matched with our eagerness too. Hassan gave great recommendations when we wanted to explore more or try different experiences. He was such a cool guy and was perfect for the job. We can’t stop talking about it. He fit in like he was family. Taking the time to learn everyone’s name to personalize their experience made my heart smile-it showed that he really cared and that he was genuinely interested…it was evident that he loves what he does. We were treated like royalty and our transportation was really nice too. Oh, let me not forget our photography stop…simply amazing! The shots Hassan captured were absolutely stunning. It captured the breathtaking views of the desert and depicts the cultural landscape within. Our desert safari adventure was one that we will never forget.

This was a great excursion. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Dubai for a fun experience. The camel ride was the highlight for me & my sister. The driver was also great, picked us up from hotel and very responsive. He also was great at getting us to each stop on time.

Parasailing in Dubai with Palm Jumeirah and JBR Beach views

Jayson_S, Jul 2025

We had a little delay...

We had a little delay getting started because of the wind but once we got started these guys were awesome… We took advantage of the photographer and are looking forward to the video and pictures to come from that in the next couple of days. We really wanted to go skydiving but the kids weren’t old enough so we took advantage of being able to do something similar and ended up having a blast. Would definitely do this again!
