We had an absolutely unforgettable desert safari experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible tour guide, Sajjad. From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable and safe. Beyond his driving, he was extremely knowledgeable about the desert, very attentive to everyone in the group, and always made sure we were having a great time. His positive attitude and passion for what he does really elevated the entire experience.
If you’re looking for a desert safari with an outstanding guide, I couldn’t recommend him more highly. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and he made it absolutely perfect!

Unfortunately, this is a hard mess. I would’ve suggest to anyone. the tour guide spoke minimal English we travelled two hours to pick up two other guests and then we missed out on the sunset in the desert
When I got to the dinner spot they up sell so you had to pay an additional 50 Derham to get the bbq.
We spent more time in the car than we did actually doing the tour
And the other guests were rude enough to have their phones on loud whilst they watched Instagram stories and reels

We had a lot of fun! We rode with 4 other people and Sajjad ensured we were taken care of through entire trip. When Sajjad drove us through the san dunes he made it fun for us all as well as when we rode the boards. The dinner and show were very good too. Even there Sajjad checked in on us and offered to go with us to do camel ride. I highly recommend this tour and Sajjad!

The Evening Desert Safari Dubai: Red Dunes, Camel Ride, & BBQ Dinner was an overall positive experience. From the start the booking was easy and communication was on point! I got my pick up time through WhatsApp and was picked up promptly by AB. We made two more stops and filled the Toyota Cruiser with a total of 6 guests. Sitting up front was nice. AB greeted everyone asking where they were traveling from. He played music that I knew (so that was nice) and was a good driver. We were given a cold bottle of water at the first stop where they had optional 4-wheeler sand buggy cars, sales of a variety of items from sand camel bottles, jewellery, a little snack shop, and a lil store selling scarfs. At first I said no thank you, but got encouraged to get one. It was 80 AED the sales guy was not pushy at all and was happy to tie it upon my head. The womens bathroom was air conditioned and clean. Then AB gathered us up and took us to the sand dunes. I thought it was funny that he handed out plastic bags incase anyone "needed it." AB was an enthusiastic driver and it was fun, beautiful, and also safe. I tried taking some videos of the driving on the sand and I managed to get a few minutes of cool video. We had a photo opportunity top the sand dunes. AB has obviously taken lots of photos as he gave us directions with poses and hand placements. The bird guy came over and I ended up paying 20 AED for some photos (I didn't plan to do that, but it happened -so oh' well). We also got to sit and slide down the dune with a board. Finally, we went to the camp area where there was everything mentioned in the booking. The camel ride was a mini short one, or you could get a slightly longer walk for 30 AED. I got the henna that was included in the package, but there were options if you wanted more for $. The show was lively & loud and though there were only 2 performers at a time, it was still entertaining. The drinks and dinner were as the activity mentioned, but I was only given a small piece of bbq chicken. AB checked on me to see if I was okay thru WhatsApp (perhaps because I was a solo guest). The womens bathroom was decent enough. It was hot through the entire day, but well worth it. All the workers were friendly with guests and with one another. There were a lot of children having fun, it was nice to see families enjoying their time.
I was the first picked up and the last dropped off, it felt like a very long day. I'm glad I decided to book it, I feel it was worth my $. Having a guide that looks out for the group is important. AB did a fantastic job with communication and informing us on what was coming up through the day. I hope this feedback will help another person decide if this is an activity you'd like to partake in. I take time to observe a lot and there were so many people from different parts of the world. Everyone was respectful and friendly.
*bring your own scarf if you don't plan on buying one
*bring sun glasses
*I recommend covered shoes
*if you need more water at the first stop, just ask
*I didn't see anyone with one of the little electric fans, but if you're a "hot" person - you may want to bring one.

We had a great driver. His communication skills are very good, he is friendly and helpful and amazingly skilled driver especially on the dunes. It was extreme, but we felt safe all the time.
DOn't expect too much from the belly dancers in the camp, but the fireshow was amazing, the food also good.
All in all a great experience.
