10/10 recommend

We had the BEST time on this Desert Safari!! We visited Dubai for our Honeymoon and wanted to take in as much of the city as we could. Mohammed Qadeer was our guide and we got so much out of this amazing experience. We went ATV riding (not included in our basic package was TOTALLY worth it), dune bashing, sandboarding and finally to the camp for camel riding, delicious dinner and entertainment. It was honestly more than we could’ve hoped for. Mohammed really took care of us and we were so happy to experience it.

TERRIBLE

Trusha_P, Jan 2024

Took us to a place that tries to sell you other activities and wasted our time there - almost 45 min. Women’s bathroom line was long so the driver tried to take us into the men’s bathroom!! Sand dune ride was only 20 min!! Then driver told Viator or whoever that we were drunk and couldn’t get out of the car - COMPLETE BS! I guess when they have to cover their a$$ they have to make stuff up! Wouldn’t trust the company - total BS and they take your money!

Fun with Family

This was a lot of fun, our tour guide was awesome and super helpful since we were very adventurous. Dinner wasn't the best (bring your own food) and the camel rides were hilarious. This is a great family event.

Awesome experience!
