Extremely Disappointing and Misleading Experience – Avoid This Tour

Lee_S, Jul 2025

I booked this desert safari experience (including quad biking, sandboarding, and BBQ dinner) through Viator in advance of my trip to Dubai, and it turned out to be a major disappointment from start to finish. On the original booking date (29th June), no one showed up for the hotel pickup. We waited over an hour and couldn’t reach anyone on the contact number provided. We received a message later that day apologising and were offered a rescheduled booking for the following day. The next day, we were picked up promptly and given a private car as compensation. Unfortunately, things didn’t improve much. The driver barely communicated with us, and the whole experience felt unwelcoming. At the quad biking location, we were told we had to share bikes for only 20 minutes, unless we paid more to upgrade — this was never mentioned at booking. It was disorganised and felt like a rushed cash grab. Dune bashing was the highlight — but even that was ruined when we stopped in the desert to take a photo with a falcon (advertised as free). After taking the pictures, a man aggressively demanded 250 AED (£50). When I questioned it, he became pushy and intimidating — I felt extremely uncomfortable with my family in the middle of the desert. I gave him 100 AED just to get out of the situation, and he even followed me back to the vehicle demanding more. At the camp, we were bombarded with more upsells — camel photos, VIP seating for 200 AED, paid drinks unless you waited for the buffet to start. Even the free henna for women was done reluctantly and poorly — my wife wiped it off straight away. The food was average, but extremely spicy (not ideal for kids), and entertainment was very basic. We left early, disappointed and frustrated. This whole experience felt more like a money-making trap than an enjoyable tour. I’ve done desert safaris before and this was by far the worst. Misleading advertising, poor organisation, and constant pressure to spend more made it a stressful experience for my entire family. I have been back and forward with my complaint and have now been offered a partial refund.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We take all guest reviews seriously, especially when families are involved. ⸻ Regarding your concerns: 1. Missed pick-up on 29 June The original booking date coincided with Islamic New Year, a public holiday in the UAE. Due to last-minute operational disruptions and limited staff availability, some pickups, including yours, were unfortunately impacted. We should have communicated better, and we sincerely apologise for that delay. 2. Private car provided the next day To make up for the inconvenience, we provided you with a private 4x4 vehicle at no extra charge—a significant upgrade from the standard shared transfer, done entirely as a goodwill gesture. 3. Quad biking & upgrades The quad biking area is operated by a third-party vendor. The standard package includes shared bikes for 20 minutes. Any longer rides or solo bikes are optional extras and not mandatory. We’re sorry this wasn’t clearly communicated on site—we’re already speaking to the vendor about improving their process. 4. Falcon photo incident The falcon handler is a freelancer, and we do not condone aggressive behavior. Your discomfort is understandable. We have reported this to the camp team and requested stricter controls for all third-party sellers. 5. VIP seating, food, and other upsells The basic seating and food are included in the package. VIP seating and early buffet access are optional, and guests are never forced to upgrade. We understand that these upsells may feel overwhelming at times, especially for families, and we are working on making the environment more relaxed. 6. Henna and entertainment Free henna includes small, simple designs. Larger patterns are charged by the artist. Still, every guest deserves respectful service, and we’re reminding the staff to treat all guests equally, no matter what option they choose. ⸻ In Summary: • Your full tour was delivered with all core experiences included. • We upgraded you to a private car, at our cost, to try and make up for the initial inconvenience. • A partial refund has already been processed via Viator, even though the full tour was conducted. • We’re taking action with our vendors to improve service and reduce pushy upselling. ⸻ We genuinely regret that your experience didn’t match your expectations, but we also hope you’ll see that we’ve taken this seriously and tried to make things right. Warm regards, Thomas
