Keira_C, Feb 2026

Great experience and excellent value for money! Our guide was helpful and communication was clear throughout! We all had a great time. My top tip would be if you have any questions about anything (Ie quad bikes which aren’t included) ask the guide, as it is a bit overwhelming when arriving at the camps with all sorts going on but he helped us and could tell when we needed a bit of guidance! Great experience the fire show was fantastic, as was the dune bashing!!

safari not too correct

Abdullah_S, Feb 2026

This is the second time we have done the activity in Dubai. This time it wasn't great at all, we're a little disappointed, the journey/travel 2 times it takes almost 2 hours in total. So in the desert we had very little time to enjoy and take pictures, it was already sunset. the food this time not too good not too hygienic, we feel like eating in India than Dubai. + we didn't do the sandboarding activity or it was indicated.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m really sorry to hear that this second experience in Dubai did not live up to your expectations, especially since you had done the activity before. I understand how frustrating it must have been to spend almost two hours in transfers. That is definitely not ideal, and it can reduce the time you have to properly enjoy the desert, take photos, and experience the sunset comfortably.

Amazing

Anonymous, Feb 2026

I was excited to drive well in the desert. I really enjoyed it. And the music in the car was lovely, it was brisk, it was exotic. He cared about all the participants and was kind. I'd like to participate again. Thank you very much.
