This was a great excursion. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Dubai for a fun experience. The camel ride was the highlight for me & my sister. The driver was also great, picked us up from hotel and very responsive. He also was great at getting us to each stop on time.

Avoid it at all cost, bad bad bad ,bad,bad,bad
The experience with them was very bad
Advice to anyone who wants to deal with them is not to do everything that was bad
Response from Host, Jul 2025
We’re disappointed to see this review because during the tour, our driver addressed and resolved all your concerns, and you appeared satisfied with the service. It’s unfortunate to receive a 1-star rating without any specific reason after the issue was fully handled.
We always aim to provide the best possible experience for our guests and believe this feedback does not reflect the actual service you received.
Best day trip from Dubai! On the top, we were a great group and followed all the planning activities, the highlight was our guide, Hamza , who was the most helpful, caring and awesome guide, thanks for the great adventure day and night!!

Besides the driver, the entire experience is horrible!!!! Beware!!! Do not waste your time on this "tour" all they want to do is rip your last hard earned dollar/euro...etc off of your hand, and shamelessly!!!! Every single stop is their opportunity to sell some random crap to you. They don't seem to understand that the first 10 times someone says "no thanks" is a good stopping point to sell. The salespeople pressure you into buying crap you dont need; I didn't and couldn't simply have a single minute alone to myself. At every stop, these super pushy Pakistani salesperson will make you feel horrible for not spending your money on things you don't need. Beware, they will offer you a bird to take photos, do not do it, or beware to ask them if there's a charge. I ended up getting 100 AED sucked out of me because the bird landed on my shoulder and the guy offered to take a picture. So many tricks to take my money were shown. The BBQ dinner does not exist unless you upgrade!!!!!! Beware! Beware! Beware!

Such a fun excursion with Yasir Khan, he was an amazing host and made sure we were well taken care of and everyone had fun.
We were given direct contact with Yasir via whatsapp, and he was able to let us know what time to meet which he was prompt to. We then took an hour drive into the desert where we were able to hire quad bikes. After this he took us on a wild drive on the dunes and stopped off for photos at a lovely desert location.
The night ended in the bedouin camp where we got to relax with some great food (loads of veggie options), great shows, shisha and henna for the women.
Big thank you to Yasir, will definitely be doing this tour again :)

1. There was no Dune Buggy ride unless you paid additional fees, which was not advertised.
2. You were only given one bottle of water per person during the Sand Bashing. It was not unlimited water.
3. Driver arrived 30 minutes late.
4. We wasted 45 minutes at a flea market being haggle by his friends to make purchases.
5. There was no Camel Ride. You got on for pics, and unless you paid, that lasted under three minutes.
6. Sand surfing, no instructions and board was so small an adult could barely fit on it.
False advertising.

But you don’t have any booking with us you mistakenly reviewed our business please double check it anyways.
I’m sorry to hear about your experience.
I apologize again for any inconvenience this caused you.
Please know that we will be addressing this review with the team so they can learn from it and do better in the future.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
Thanks
The tour of the dunes was very fun and satisfying, but it was necessary to stay until sunset and contemplate the desert dunes more. The final show... unfortunate. The barbecue is free but it is from 09:00 and the show ends at 10:00. If you pay €14 more, you can start eating whatever you want as soon as you arrive
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you so much for your feedback.... We are really sorry for that.... We will try to more improve our service....
The desert safari is great, our driver Sajjad was very friendly and cared about us being okay and answering any questions. Activities and shows are very good, especially fire and belly dancing.

Dear Valued Guest,
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re truly happy to know that you enjoyed your desert safari experience with us. Your kind words motivate our team to continue delivering memorable and high-quality experiences to all our guests.
We sincerely appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again for another amazing adventure in the Dubai desert.
I would like to point out that the experience with our guide was very very good, I recommend it, the music, racing through the dunes, we had water all the time, he worried all the time about having us informed of everything from our first contact until he left us at the hotel, we were very happy, here I will leave photos since I do not remember his name, he was wonderful, I would like to point out also that I buy a dinner excursion, and live the wonder shown in the photos, I am not saying that they do not go but although I lived my moment I was disappointed. The Henna was not free, the water ran out very quickly, we could not eat dinner, when they gave the authorization to dine it seemed that a pack of wolves was chasing them, people took the food with their hands, since we arrived to sit down for talks every 2 min someone arrived to sell something, the interest of post is to sell and that is how it is done but you have to have more passion, that was full of people. I would also like to highlight that when you get there you are offered a VIP area for 12 dollars per person that the truth was very good, you could serve yourself unlimited and was quieter but we trusting what we bought did not think about what happened. I suggest that they sell that VIP area in another package and even if it is a little more expensive to give people the opportunity to choose, later a smell rose so unpleasant to when they are emptying a bathroom that was unbearable and even more they have an Alcon that from morning until late at night have it awake, the poor was that could not more and the one who handled it gave him pushes up to wake9 I did not like it at all0.
SEPARATING THE GUIDE FROM ALL THIS, I think you must improve this place and use the reindeer to good end and I have written this with great respect

Estimado/a huésped,
Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia con tanto detalle y respeto. Valoramos muchísimo cada comentario, y sentimos sinceramente que algunos aspectos de su visita no hayan cumplido sus expectativas.
Nos alegra saber que su experiencia con nuestro guía fue excelente, que disfrutó el dune bashing, la música, la comunicación constante y el servicio durante el recorrido. Apreciamos mucho que destaque su trabajo — sin duda, le haremos llegar sus palabras.
En relación a la experiencia en el campamento, le pedimos una disculpa sincera por los puntos que menciona:
• Henna no incluida
• Falta de agua suficiente
• Organización de la cena
• Exceso de vendedores
• Zona muy llena de personas
• Oferta de zona VIP sin explicación previa
• Mal olor al final de la noche
• El manejo del halcón
Sabemos que estos detalles pueden afectar la experiencia, especialmente para quienes buscan una noche tranquila en el desierto. Agradecemos profundamente que nos lo haya comunicado, porque sus palabras nos ayudan a mejorar:
Estamos trabajando con el campamento para:
✔ mejorar el control de aforo,
✔ organizar mejor el acceso a la cena,
✔ asegurar disponibilidad de agua,
✔ ofrecer henna gratuita de forma clara,
✔ controlar vendedores ambulantes,
✔ y revisar el cuidado y bienestar de los animales.
También tomamos en cuenta su sugerencia sobre ofrecer la zona VIP como paquete independiente para que cada cliente pueda elegir antes del viaje — es una idea muy útil.
Lamentamos que la experiencia visualizada en las fotos y publicidad no coincidiera con lo vivido en el campamento esa noche. Nuestro objetivo es que cada visitante viva momentos inolvidables, no frustración.
Si vuelve a Dubái, nos encantaría ofrecerle un programa mejorado, más tranquilo y acorde a lo que buscaba originalmente. Puede contactarnos directamente si desea hablar más sobre su experiencia.
Gracias nuevamente por su sinceridad y por mantener el respeto en sus palabras.
Saludos cordiales,
Al Khaima Tourism LLC
