Absolutely incredible experience! The Dubai Desert Dune Tour was beyond anything I expected. Anthony was hands down the best guide — so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He made the whole adventure smooth and super informative, sharing fascinating insights along the way. From the adrenaline of the dunes to the stunning desert views, every moment was unforgettable. Truly an amazing experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Dubai!

Excellent experience made even better by our extremely personal and knowledgeable guide Ericson. A definite need to do when you are visiting Dubai.
Jennifer_L, Jun 2026
This tour was fantastic! All that is included is well worth the price. The time you get to spend in the village after the ATV ride is wonderful. I suggest doing this in the afternoon. So many amazing guides to help at any point of the trip.
The dinner has amazing food and is worth the price of the ticket alone!
You get everything advertised and more.
Assan_B, Jun 2026
An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! One of the best surprises was that our group consisted of only five people, which made the whole tour feel much more personal and relaxed.
A special thank you to our guide, Hassan Rauf, who was exceptional throughout the day. He was attentive, friendly, and constantly made sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. His professionalism and genuine care really elevated the experience.
The highlight for us was definitely the quad bike ride across the red dunes - an unforgettable activity and so much fun! The entire tour was well organised, and the desert scenery, camp experience, and BBQ dinner were all excellent.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dubai. Thank you, Hassan, for making it such a memorable day! 😊
Zarli_C, Jun 2026
This was by far the best thing we've done in Dubai and I couldn't recommend it more highly. The quad biking was an absolute highlight and so much fun. Our tour guide Erikson was fantastic and really made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
The desert camp was beautiful, and the dinner and live show provided such an amazing cultural experience. The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was incredible. Everything was well organised and exceeded our expectations. If you're visiting Dubai, this is a must do experience!
Cindy_C, May 2026
We had a blast.. you won’t regret it. I was worried about so much time in the heat, but with travel time and they way they take care of everything it wasn’t an issue.

Amazing experience from start to finish! Our guide Ater was amazing and made the whole desert adventure unforgettable.

Liina_H, Apr 2026
We had an amazing experience on this desert adventure with our family! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and truly exceeded our expectations.
The ATV and bagu ride across the red dunes was an absolute highlight, so much fun and a great thrill for both adults and the kid. The camel ride gave us a nice taste of traditional desert life, and the entire setting felt authentic and beautifully arranged.
The evening at the camp was just fantastic. The atmosphere, the activities, and especially the BBQ dinner were all top quality. Stargazing in the desert was the perfect way to end the day, peaceful and unforgettable.
The staff and guides were friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the experience. Special thanks for our tour guide Abdallah Faiz.
Fernen_T, Apr 2026

Regina_L, Apr 2026
From start to finish, this was an incredible experience. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and took the time to answer every question we had. The ATV adventure paired with camel riding was an absolute blast, and the food at the camp was outstanding — generous portions of the most delicious dishes. Highly recommend!!
MARCE_K, Apr 2026
Not sure why I took too long in giving this review but it just reminded me of what an awesome time we as a family had. The tour guide was amazing! The experience is worth every penny and I want to go back one day to experience it at night, such a magical experience. Food was amazing, hookas, desserts, coffee, drinks! All of it.
DonnaL_J, Mar 2026
The absolute best tour I've ever had on vacation, safe, organized and money well spent, fun fun fun!
patrinajones00, Mar 2026
Fazil! Omg! Thank you for making sure I didn’t miss anything. From the photos to the stories along the ride! Conversation was great! The group event and pairing was perfect! Felt safe and had so much fun!
Kyle_L, Mar 2026
I was hesitant at first doing a solo tour but I took the chance. ZASHAN was my English speaking guide and while other reviews encountered unfortunate experiences of late pick ups, my pickup was prompt and on schedule. I was the first to be picked up along with two others after and had an amazing time.
An ATV ride was first at the Red Dunes Desert and while we only a booked the 35 minute session, it lasted an hour. The second stop is where everything else is then held with camel rides, sunset viewing, dinner, photos with a falcon, a traditional dance, a fire dance, and viewing Arabian horses they use for competitions showings.
Know that at both sites, there are other vehicles full of guests as well so you won’t feel too lonely nor isolated as there are many tourists. Both sites are able to accommodate the crowds and hopefully you’ll meet some interesting people for conversations during dinner! I’d definitely recommend this for anyone considering it assuming you’re able bodied and not attending with an infant or child.
Courney_E, Mar 2026
Overall it was a fun experience. My best advice is book a private tour or just go alone because when you’re in a group you have to wait on others. I booked the morning tour so I didn’t get to see the night show but Highly recommend going to the late show because it’s more entertaining & enjoyable. Our driver was Imran he was really cool, informative, very responsive to everything and actually interacted with everyone! Very cool guy. If you book with OceanAirTravel ask for him!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi Courney! We’re glad you had a fun experience and really appreciate your honest advice about group tours. Imran will be so happy to hear you mentioned him. He truly enjoys interacting with guests and making the day memorable. We’d love to see you again for the evening experience next time.

Amy_M, Feb 2026
We had Shanif with us for the whole day. He’s very informative, helpful and friendly. He picked us up from the hotel very promptly. Then drove us safely to the sand dunes to do the quad bike. He was helping us to take lots of pics.
Then we went to the campsite for the camel ride, dinner and also show. The arrangement was nicely set up. The facility was clean. Food was good with lots of choices. This is a must do when in Dubai.
I would strongly recommend this tour and go with Shanif.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Amy! Shanif will be so pleased to know that his help with photos, the quad biking, camel ride, and BBQ made your day smooth and fun. Thank you for recommending him!

This was such an amazing excursion, and the highlight of our trip. Pick up was easy and on time. Our guide Adnan was great. He really understood that this was an experience for us, and made sure to take lots of pics and videos of us. He was very patient and did not rush us at all. The cost of this excursion is a great value for everything you get. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was magical. Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.

Hi Karina! Adnan is thrilled to hear the excursion was a highlight of your trip. He loves taking photos and videos for guests while making sure everyone feels relaxed and enjoys the magic of the desert. Your recommendation means a lot!
Santiago_H, Feb 2026
we had an amazing time! Sanaullah was our tour guide and he made sure our day was memorable! Communication was great throughout. We were messaged beforehand about pick up time and driven an air-conditioned SUV. at our first stop, we were greeted with complementary beverages and given the opportunity to utilize bathroom facilities and purchase head scarfs for the sand and other accessories or souvenirs. Sana guided us through the dunes and he was quick to help when one of the group members’ atv got stuck. Afterwards, we were driven to the next stop to the desert camp to see camels, falcons, horses, lots of activities for everyone! Overall 10/10 experience!! Highly recommend
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Santiago! Sanaullah will be so happy to read your thoughtful review. Communication, safety, and making sure every guest feels comfortable are extremely important to him. We’re glad the ATV adventure, desert camp, and all the activities made it a 10/10 experience for you!
