Itinerary
After pickup from your central Dubai hotel, settle inside a comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle and travel to the quad bike base camp in the surrounding desert.
Hop out here, don your supplied safety gear, including a helmet and gloves, and after a safety briefing and instructions, including the rules of off-road driving, set off on a thrilling ride.
Following your guide vehicle, head off-trail, and speed across the sands and rolling, low dunes. Kick up clouds of sand as you roar up and over the slopes and as you gain confidence, open the throttle and tackle some higher dunes.
After your ride, disembark and travel on to a Bedouin-style camp nestled in the sands. Soak in the traditional Arabian atmosphere, and enjoy an array of desert activities. Take a camel ride, try your hand at sandboarding, dress in Arabic costumes for souvenir photos, and if you wish, get a henna tattoo inked onto your hands.
Stay refreshed with unlimited sodas, bottled water, tea, and coffee, and as the sun sets, sit down to a tasty buffet and barbecue dinner of Arabian dishes like hummus, salads, and grilled meats.
While you eat and relax, enjoy a program of live entertainment, watching as sequinned belly dancers whirl around the floor, and whirling dervish-style ‘tanoura’ dancers spin in front of you.
After the show, relax on your ride back to Dubai where your experience ends with a drop-off back at your hotel.

This place is totally worth going to for the price. The ATV‘s were fun, except you have to be careful because they do not have in the enclosed area a certain direction to go. If you get motion sickness after the ATV ride, you go on a Safari in the car. Our driver was great. The dinner buffet with the shows was very nice.

Tourist trap in my opinion. Although nice experience, don't expect do be on a safari. It's more hopping from one place to the other. And on every place there were people trying to sell you things.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Hi Xander,
Thank you for your feedback.
I do understand that you are not travelling much. Our packages, which you booked, are the Desert Safari Tour and Quadbike, and you had a nice experience. We have delivered the services that you paid for and enjoyed. If there are other extra things or sellers you have encountered, this is not on us. Some people want to make an honest living and try to sell where tourists are coming. You can always say no. Our services should not be measured or reviewed according to extra things you see along the way. Whichever country you visit, you will always see those sellers in tourist spots, and you have the choice to ignore them.
Regards

Mustafa was our tour guide and he was very easy going which was great!From pick up to drop off he made sure we all had a good time and he even slipped in a few jokes here and there. Overall definitely worth the money spent for the tour and did everything that was included in the package!Thanks again Andy and Rod

the camp where the bbq dinner was very dirty a tourist trap
Kim R, Jul 2017
We have done this desert trip a couple of time before but this time added the quad biking. Loved it, the bikes are easy to ride and very controllable. The terrain is fenced and contained but plenty of room to work out these bikes. Lots of challenging dunes and huge fun with 30 minutes a good amount of time. The sand boarding was also fun to try it's not hard. Dune bashing in the 4 wheel drives is a given also. I really enjoyed having a falcon on my arm, that was special, but gave the camels a miss. The BBQ Dinner at the camp was tasty and filling. Again Ramadan meant it was not so busy but there was good food and superb entertainment. This is another trip that is worth doing.....the sand and dunes are amazing and the sunset is also pretty special.

We had done a desert safari before but wanted to quad bike. This was so much better. We were a solo jeep and not part of a convoy, so made things simpler. Our driver arrived on time and with one other pick up we were on our way. Quad biking was great fun and actually 30 mins was enough as your thumbs started to ache after a while. We had an exhilarating drive through the dunes and then arrived at the camp for the BBQ and shows. Everything was very well organised and our driver looked after us the whole time. We did not do the camel ride as it was more a hop on hop off photo op and we had done that before and unfortunately the sand boarding did not work as the sand was too wet. I suspect better a different time of year. Nonetheless the trip was great. Well organised and the food was tasty. I would definitely recommend this company.
