Each season, as the weather begins to cool at the onset of winter, the gates reopen at Dubai Miracle Garden. With more than 150 million flowers in full bloom, this 72,000-sq-m paradise has flowered into one of the region’s most picturesque, sweet-scented destinations since it first opened nearly nine years ago – fittingly, on Valentine’s Day. Dubai Miracle Garden was awarded by the esteemed Guinness World Records panel for having the largest vertical garden, in 2013, as well as the planet’s largest floral sculpture forming the shape of an Airbus A380, in 2016. Two years later, we built the tallest topiary sculpture in the world; the 18-metre sculpture feature was Disney’s first character floral display in the Middle East – officially licenced – and was made with 100,000 plants and flowers, weighing in at nearly 35 tons.

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.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Day in Abu Dhabi with Fazal Malik!

Our tour of Abu Dhabi was unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide, Fazal Malik. He was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We started with a visit to the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which was even more stunning in person — a true architectural masterpiece and a must-see. Fazal made sure we had plenty of time for photos throughout the day. We also had a blast spending 4 hours at Ferrari World, which was the perfect mix of thrill and fun. Fazal kept everything perfectly timed and was happy to answer all our questions along the way. Highly recommend this tour — and especially Fazal — if you’re visiting the UAE!

Fun little trip

This is a nice tour around the marina. The drinks provided were water and a juice mix. Seats may be limited if the boat is fully booked, I was lucky our boat was mostly empty. Staff is very friendly. $25 would have been nice if food was included, but overall a fun experience with the right people

Amazing desert Safari in Dubai

Absolutely unforgettable experience in the red sand desert! I’m so thankful I found this adventure on Viator—hands down one of the best excursions I’ve ever booked. From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and full of unforgettable moments. The day started with a punctual pickup right from the Marriott in downtown Dubai. Our driver arrived in a spotless and super comfortable Land Cruiser, and his communication was clear and friendly throughout the journey. We headed out toward the desert, where you had the option to upgrade to quad bikes and pick up some traditional desert attire—definitely worth it for the full experience! There was plenty of cold water available, and the scenery alone was worth the trip—endless dunes and stunning views. Then came the dune bashing… and wow. Our driver was absolutely incredible, gliding over the dunes like a surfboard riding waves. It was thrilling, smooth, and so much fun! We even got to sandboard down the dunes and snap some epic photos with a majestic falcon—talk about bucket list material. The evening was just as special. We arrived at a traditional-style desert camp where we were treated to a delicious dinner—juicy lamb kebabs and a variety of flavorful sides. The food was far better than I expected for a desert camp—authentic, fresh, and filling. And the entertainment? Next level. Between the fire-breathing performance and the mesmerizing belly dancer, the atmosphere was electric. It was the perfect end to an epic day. The whole experience was incredibly well-organized and worth every dirham. Whether you’re visiting Dubai for the first time or the tenth, this excursion is a must-do. Highly, highly recommend!
