It was absolutely incredible . Nasir was the best guide. Loved everything about it and so did my two teens
Emily_M, Mar 2026
This was an amazing experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip! The dune bashing was incredibly fun and such an adrenaline rush. Our tour guide, Noori, was outstanding — extremely patient, friendly, and attentive. He made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment, and he also took some amazing photos for us which we really appreciated.
The entire trip was very well organized. The quad biking and camel ride were both great experiences and something we were excited to try. The dinner and live performances at the camp were the perfect way to end the evening — a relaxing atmosphere with a wonderful cultural touch.
Overall, we’re very grateful for such a memorable experience and would absolutely recommend this company, especially Noori, to anyone visiting Dubai. Truly unforgettable!

Great day out, had the best guide, Hussein, who went out of his way to make our experience special and memorable, and was very efficient. The quad bike was great, as was the dune bashing with Hussein as our driver. The dinner buffet was plentiful and had a lot of amazing choice. The show was ok and there was a lot of downtime between performances, so just be prepared for that.

This is one experience which is a must tick if you are in Dubai. The tour operator took us through the paces and was extremely professional; so was our guide. The entire trip takes up over have a day so please keep a day dedicated to this entire activity. The desert camp we went to had extremely good food and to sum up, the entire experience was very pleasant. A few points of improvement; the speaker used as music for the performance was extremely poor and needs an upgrade. The performers were at best sub par and they were the same guys who kept on changing and performing, probably to save on costs. Other than that, the experience including the atv rides, dune bashing and the pick up and drop was smooth and hassle free. Thanks for a memorable time spent.

I think I was expecting something a little less commercial. More of an authentic experience. The camel ride was not really a ride across the desert, but a quick few minutes-almost like the rides you would take at a circus. The beginning felt very rushed because the trip was running late. Driver very soft spoken so we could not hear any of the information he was providing about the area.
It did have multiple experiences, which was fun, such as driving up and down the sand dunes. If I had to do it again, I would maybe choose a different company and see if they are all the same or if some of them do it differently, but there were literally hundreds of people. Also could not get a glass of wine but had to buy a bottle of cheap white wine for 400 AED at the buffet.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your honest insights, and we’re sorry to hear that certain aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. We understand your concerns regarding the camel ride, the timing, and the level of commentary from our driver.
We’re glad to hear that you still enjoyed the dune bashing and the variety of experiences offered. Your feedback is invaluable and will help us improve our services to provide a more authentic and enjoyable desert safari experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even better experience.

We had a wonderful day at the desert safari & Shoaib was a great guide! His communication ahead of the trip was great & he picked us up bang on time & we made it to the activities in good time with some fun facts along the way. The quad biking was great fun, you could pay extra to go further into the dunes or get a buggy but we were happy with the quads included! We all enjoyed the falcon pictures and camel rides! The sand dunes themselves were great & Shoaib regularly checked to make sure we were all feeling well as it was quite bumpy but in a fun way! We then made our way to the camp which offered some stalls along with henna, shisha and another camel rides if you wanted. The meal was delicious & the show was great, it was so handy being picked up & dropped off at our accommodation. Would highly recommend the trip to anyone considering it 🐪 🏜️

Best Desert Safari Tour with Guide Mohsin Pathan
Our first visit to the UAE and first desert safari became truly unforgettable, thanks to the knowledgeable and experienced guide, Mohsin Pathan.
We learned so much from him, and he made every activity enjoyable from quad biking and camel riding to capturing beautiful falcon photos.
His thrilling yet safe dune-driving skills showed his expertise, and his professional photography added great value to our memories.
We had great fun sandboarding, and Mohsin’s friendly smile made us feel like we had known him for years.
The evening camp experience with live BBQ dinner and entertainment shows was the perfect ending to our tour.

I had an unforgettable experience on the evening desert safari, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Hariis. From the moment we were picked up, he was professional, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable. His driving skills during the dune bashing were top-notch—thrilling but always felt safe.
Hariis shared interesting facts about the desert and culture along the way, which made the experience even more enriching. He was also very attentive, always checking in to make sure we were hydrated and enjoying ourselves.
The sunset views were breathtaking, and Hariis knew the perfect spot for photos. The evening continued with a traditional camp setup—camel rides, henna painting, a delicious BBQ dinner, and live performances including belly dancing and a fire show. Everything was well-organized.
I highly recommend this desert safari and especially Hariis as a guide. His hospitality and expertise really elevated the whole adventure. Thank you for an amazing evening!
