Fun experience, very touristy

nicole_p, Feb 2026

Dune buggy was fun, amazing food at dinner but the show was quiet long and drawn out. Its one of those things you gotta do when you go to Dubai but it was very touristy and felt like we were herded around like sheep a bit

Excellent and Best tour and guide

Jan_G, Nov 2024

We had an amazing tour. Many thanks to Imran Khan our guide and driver. He was with us, attentive and helpful the full time. I must say dune bugging was the most fun. But sand surfing, dune bashing, the BBQ and show were all well worthiness an an experience of a lifetime. Thank you again Imran, we truly enjoyed every minute.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed every moment, and we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Imran. Glad you had an unforgettable experience with us! 🌟🌵
