Unbelievable experience. Me and my teen learned so much about Dubai's history, heritage, culture and customs. I highly recommend the tour. I recommend to do this trip as late as possible. 4:30 pickup.

personal and thoughtful experience

OLGA_S, Jan 2026

Despite the extreme 100°F heat, this tour was absolutely fantastic. The guide was very understanding and attentive to my son’s interests, especially his love for animals and curiosity about the desert. We explored the desert, and the guide took many beautiful photos of us, which we truly appreciated. He also brought us to a village in the middle of the desert where we rode camels — a highlight for my son. The experience felt personal and thoughtful. The guide went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The food was excellent — multiple courses, beautifully prepared, and delicious. Everything exceeded expectations. This company delivered an outstanding experience, and I would absolutely give it five stars. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that you and your son had such a fantastic experience, even in the extreme heat. It’s great to know the guide made the tour personal, thoughtful, and full of memorable moments—from camel rides to capturing beautiful photos. We’re also delighted you enjoyed the food and that everything exceeded your expectations. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon.

Amazing experience

Zulfiqar was excellent. Really knowledgeable and the trip is a lot of fun. Particularly enjoyed learning about the falcons

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you. So glad you had fun and enjoyed the falcon experience. Zulfiqar will be happy to hear your kind words.

Great evening experiencing Arabian heritage without the dune bashing

Robert_N, Feb 2025

We wanted a tour that did not involve tearing up the environment and came across this one. Convenient on time pick up at our hotel in Dubai. First experience was a drive thorough an animal reserve where we came across oryx, gazelle and sandfish. Next was a short camel ride following by the opportunity to do some dune boarding. Next was an extremely informative falcon display as the sun began to set. This was followed by a freshly prepared dinner (set up at individual tables and not everyone at one long table) with more than a sufficient amount of food. Evening entertainment was top notch with both female and male dancers in a center stage along with the best fire twirling I hav seen in a long time (maybe ever). Can totally recommend the tour - there is even an option with this company to dune bash rather than visit the conversation area if desired.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the eco-friendly experience, from the wildlife reserve to the entertainment and dinner. It’s great to hear the tour met your expectations, and we appreciate your recommendation. Hope to welcome you again!

Wonderful experience

Lyn_N, Nov 2024

My family and I had a wonderful time on this excursion! The company was very communicative and organized! They responded to all my questions when I reached out and were on time and flexible when we were running late. Our guide and driver Riaz was amazing and he was super accommodating in ensuring my mom who was in a wheelchair could still enjoy all the festivities that 47 safari had to offer. He went out of his way to make sure my mom didn’t have to walk far since you can’t use a wheel chair in the sand/desert. In addition, I would say this tour was everything we were looking for and the food was delicious. As vegans, I was surprised with how tasty the food was and my parents and relatives who aren’t used to Mediterranean and Arabic type of cuisine really enjoyed the 4 course dinner. The tour was intimate and really personal. We also had a great waiter from Gambia named Ibrahem who was so attentive and friendly and made sure we had plenty of food and drinks to eat. Our favorite performance was the fire 🔥 show. And we enjoyed how engaging the performers were with the audience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone as everything is inclusive and there are no hidden costs.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted Riaz went above and beyond to ensure your mom could fully enjoy the safari. It’s great to hear that the vegan options impressed and that your family enjoyed the four-course dinner and performances, especially the fire show. Ibrahem will be thrilled by your kind words. We’re so glad we could make your tour personal and memorable. Thank you for recommending us!

Happy teen, happy dad.

So much in one day

Fantastic guide, Abid was super helpful and made it a great day. Camels, fire eaters, birds of prey, land rovers, fantastic food. What more can I say?
