Picked up at 4pm not 2.30pm. Camel ride about 30 seconds long, you had to pay extra for any longer. Food at buffet was mediocre. Only one good show out of them all.

Not a pleasant experience. Dinner was not great. Shows were Ok. Don't recommend quad ride since it's very risky.

It was a good experience but a bit rushed in places and somewhat commercialised.
The host was great and the sand dune ride was very good.
The camel ride was very short and we had to sit on cushion and asked if we wanted to upgrade to table and chairs for an additional fee. This is not how it was advertised. Entertainment was good.
The food was average. Still a good experience overall

This was by far the best experience I’ve had in Dubai! Our tour guide was Syed Tariq and he was absolutely amazing! He picked us up on time, making sure to communicate via WhatsApp the time of pick up in advance. He also made sure the locals did not overcharge us for souvenirs, photos, etc (beware they will). Our dune bashing experience was a blast! From start to finish…ATV and camel riding in the desert, the actual authentic Arabic cuisine at the end, everything was wonderful! Will recommend to everyone especially if you have middle-aged kids they will enjoy it.

The sanduning was great. The food was horrible. The toilets were disgusting and no belly dancing because of Ramadam. The three shows one amazing one pathetic and one average. For the price mmmm

Such high expectations were definitley not met. The sand dune experience was very disappointing due to the high volume of traffic and general chaos. Far to commercialised, not a camel or belly dancer in sight. Paid big money for Henna tattoo which was done in such a rush it was a mess. Overall this was not a desert experience as advertised . Over priced and under delivered. The harassment of people literally forcing photographs with the Falcon is an invasion of space and cruelty to the animal. The driver however was pleasant and did his job to the best of his ability. A better experience has been had on South African Durban beaches without being ripped off financially

If you are in the front it's probably a good trip. If you are stuck in the boot seats, stay home. I was put in the boot seat even though I was tallest passenger at 6 ft. The transfer took 2 hours, because they had pick ups from old town and Marina before departure. So easy to organise this better. When finally released from the boot, it was to pay extra for falcon pics, scarfs, quad bike, but water is free. On the dune already aching from the transfer, is then he'll in the back, cramped and trying not to hit your head or vomit. Then another 45 minutes to the buffet. Not like the picture but good food, dancing and atmosphere. Henna tattoo only one finger even though half the guests/ men didn't want it although an included feature. Even for basics such as toilet paper, you have to take your own.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
if you could have booked private vehicle. sharing seats has no reservation as the sequence of hotel and pick up it always the case.

I don’t think we been taken to the abv VIP/Premium camp. Disappointed with the food/ambience/quality of the camp. The vehicle drive was awesome though

We had a very great time. I would recommend it to friends and family members. It was quite an experience. My wife suggests that In between performances, you should play dance music and invite the audience to dance on stage. Sameer our guide was excellent.

Dear sir/madam,
Today we did (still continue) safari Dubai (title vip luxury safari)
Fırst of all i am very unsatisfy from the tour ...
Driver drives very unsafe on motorway ...
After pick up from hotel 15:00 and arrive to ATV point 15:40 ..
We wait more than 1 hrs 20 minutes for nothing in the place .. many people and no place for sit ...
Also the car is sharing car with other guest ...
Driver explain nothing during the trip and only speak indian with other guests ...
Finally we start the safari at 17:00
He drive only 15 minutes on dune and with photo stop we finish 17:30
Actually we came to see sunset but now the time is 17:50 and we are watching sunset on motorway ...
I am a tour leader and many times i came to Dubai with groups ...
This is not a tourist capris but i am very angry of tour ...
This is not a vip luxury tour just i can title miserables !!
Please be sensible ... Put your self to myself and please money back ...
İ am realy sorry to write this email ..
Regards,
Kadir Taylan KIRIKKANAT

Excellent Experience. The dune bombing was exhilarating and the bbq enjoyable although we were unable to experience the entertainment due to state mourning. Could have been improved by more information from guide.

Great time even though wife got nauseous on desert driving , apart from that hotel pickup n drop off went great afsan was a good driver and lots of fun , dinner was good so was entertainment
Andrea_E, Nov 2021
We booked this excursion for Friday 19th Nov. Our driver was Sajid. The Dune bashing was great, really excited, and Sajid was handling the dunes with confidence. however I wouldn’t recommend it for elderly or children, due to risks. If your read other reviews, there have been fatalities involving kids sadly. They is no car seats.
The BBQ and entertainment was brilliant
What was terrible about the trip was Sajid’s driving on the highway and roads. He tailgated at 140km/hr. he would speed up towards stationary traffic, and on more than one occasion almost hit over vehicles.
Traveling at such high speeds is unnecessary and shows a disregard for human life.
I was petrified, so much that i asked my boyfriend if we can be dropped anywhere, to take a metro. Given my fear, i was crying and lost my cool with Sajid. I asked him to slow down, he then blamed me for not telling him that i didnt like travelling fast. I’m not sure if you would usually be required to state that you will prefer to drive within the speed limit, keeping safe distances from other vehicles. Sajid said it is just how they drive in Dubai, although I seriously doubt that, as others on the highway drove slower.
Sajid answered his cellphone (not handsfree) several times whilst driving, and he read text, which again sent me into a blind panic when he took his eyes off the road.
We got dropped at a metro station, at my request.
I would not want to experience this again.
Thomas_M, Sep 2021
The best part of the trip was the live entertainment and Dinner. The fire 🔥 dance was intense and lit. We did have some issues. Our driver picked us up late because he went to the incorrect hotel but he was very apologetic. I’m a very adventurous person so not driving while in the sand dunes was actually boring. In my opinion the driver gets the enjoyment not the passengers.
