What are people saying about Dubai

Phillip_A, Feb 2026

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.

mykola_k, Jan 2026

Had a great experience...

Had a great experience with Xclusive Yachts on the Dubai Marina Yacht Tour: Ain Wheel, JBR & Harbour (1 Hour). The views were amazing — especially Ain Dubai and JBR — and the yacht was clean and comfortable. I did have a small issue initially, but the team handled it very quickly and professionally, which I really appreciated. Excellent customer service and well-organized tour overall. Definitely recommend Xclusive Yachts for anyone looking to enjoy Dubai from the water.

Sunrise Desert Safari with Wildlife Experience from Dubai

Elena_T, Jan 2026

Amazing

This sunrise desert and wildlife tour was the most magical experience of my entire trip. The stillness of the desert at sunrise, combined with the wildlife sightings, was beyond anything I imagined. Our guide Natan was exceptional—calm, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and unhurried, allowing us to truly take in the moment. This tour felt serene, meaningful, and unforgettable. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai.

Great time!

We had an amazing day with Qasim as our tour guide for Abu Dhabi. Communication was great, pick up was on-time, and he was very professional and kind. Qasim was also very knowledgeable about both Dubai and Abu Dhabi and all the sites we saw. I highly recommend booking this day. It was a highlight of our trip to the UAE!

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.

Dubai Marina

I’m writing a review for a cruise in the Marina, Dubai. This was the most amazing experience due to the hospitality of the warm staff who made me feel so comfortable and pampered. The food was so delicious and there was so much — the BBQ was 10 out of 10. The staff made sure everyone was attended to and took the time to personally appreciate their guests!! Fantastic! Beautiful people. The photographer was amazing — the photos taken of my family I will cherish. Very talented. This cruise for families and travellers is 10 out of 10. Thank you ☺️

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.

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!
