Had a great experience, the show and food was amazing. The weather was amazing in January, and our tour guide naveed was very friendly

The ride through the desert was the most fun. The camel ride was very short; mostly just for photos. Food was not great. Our tour guide was good and very knowledgeable which is why the drive through the desert was probably the best part of the tour.

Dune ride and camel ride was exciting. BBQ was ok. Performances were fine. Did not care for trying on the traditional clothing.
Rosemary_D, Feb 2023
We enjoyed this desert tour which provided us with an opportunity to experience dune bashing, having our photo taken on a camel and savouring a delicious bbq meal under the stars. The only somewhat jarring note during the entertainment was the rather artificial musical accompaniment to which the fire dancer and the whirling skirts dancer performed as it would have been more authentic with Arab music. (This was not the case for the belly dancer who performed to Arab music.)

The drive trough the desert & the sun set. Our tour guide was outstanding very experience very knowledgeable and polite.

Fun must do first time in Dubai experience. There are some add on prices for atv rides and photos with falcon. Camel ride is about 5 minutes long.
Amy_S, Apr 2022
Such a fun and diverse experience. You get to do a lot bit be prepared to pay for all the add ons and you stop every 20-30 min for someone to sell you something so it gets a little tiring telling people no thanks (who don’t listen and are very pushy)

This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Abass, our tour guide was spectacular. He gave great insight into the UAE and the culture of the area. He made us feel as though we were old friends who came to visit.

Place in desert to stressful cod too many offers from every side and guys weren’t that friendly. They show they don’t like woman...
Beverley_A, Feb 2018
We had a fantastic time on our trip out to the desert, much laughter was had by all... The BBQ dinner was not brilliant, but the show was amazing. Our driver Naveed looked after us all very safely
Thank you for our excellent trip

Services au top, votre guide a été magnifique, nous a tout expliqué et tout montrer. C’était super. Je recommande énormément.

Tour e guida fantastici. Gentilissimi dall'inizio fino alla fine del tour. Divertimento assicurato. Consigliatissimo

Je ne recommande pas, j’avais réservé pour l’après-midi de notre arrivé avec mon fils de 11 ans, problème à l’hôtel ce qui me pousse à demander un déplacement de jour par mail du lundi au jeudi. Sans réponse pendant 3 jours et soudainement le jeudi matin à 11h, je reçois une confirmation pour l’après-midi même pour 13h45, ce qui n’était pas possible car nous étions ailleurs, je demande le report pour le lendemain veille de notre départ. Ils n’ont rien voulu entendre et aucun remboursement même partiel. Total manque de communication et l’impression d’être un numéro anonyme…je ne recommande pas.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Je suis surpris de lire vos histoires de maquillage sur viator. Vous êtes certainement incroyable. C'était d'abord votre erreur. Vous avez modifié pour jeudi mais en fait vous le vouliez pour mardi, puis vous avez réalisé votre erreur et nous en avez blâmé.
Autre chose, nous vous avons donné la possibilité de reprogrammer votre voyage à la dernière minute. Et puis quand le chauffeur est prêt à venir vous chercher à la date prévue vous n'êtes pas prêt et faites tellement de DRAME. Vous avez notre numéro de contact et vous n'avez même pas pris la peine de nous envoyer un message et attendez-vous à ce que nous vous remboursions ? En fait, votre visite a été organisée et confirmée.
Vous n'arrivez pas à organiser et à planifier vos propres vacances et vous nous choisissez pour votre incapacité à organiser les choses correctement.
I am surprised reading about your make up stories on viator. You certainly are unbelievable. First it was your mistake. You amended to thursday but actually wanted it for tuesday then you realized your mistake and blaming us for it.
Another thing, we have given you chance to re-schedule your trip on the last minute. And then when the driver is ready to pick you up on the scheduled date you are not ready and make so much DRAMA. You have our contact number and did not even bother to message us and expect us to give you a refund ? While infact your tour has been arranged and confirmed.
You can't seem to organize and plan your own holiday and you are picking us up for your inability to arrange things properly.
Try to relax and enjoy the day!

Un moment magique avec un guide au top, des vues magnifique, des activités avec des sensations enormes

Grâce à notre chauffeur Abbas, particulièrement extraordinairement bienveillant, nous avons pu vivre une aventure extraordinaire et inoubliable. Tout y était : Quad, Safari dans LE désert snowboard, barbecue en VIP avec supplément, spectacle. Tout était parfait et le retour sur la ville de nuit magnifique. Nous remercions encore Abbas pour cette journée.

O passeio foi péssimo não recomendo. Além do guia ser muito mal educado e grosseiro no meu carro havia um bebê, não houve segurança nenhuma para ele no deserto poderia ter se machucado. Não teve chá nenhum, nem pintura de Henna, o churrasco era péssimo nem tinha comida e ainda tive q parar 100 dirham a mais para ter uma mesa o que não foi avisado. Nunca mais faço nada nesse site nem recomendo.

Leuke tour. Pick up en return uitstekend geregeld.
Dune bashing was erg leuk maar helaas aan de korte kant en slechts aan de rand van de woestijn (de tourist trap waar dune buggies gehuurd konden worden -bij de asfalt weg- was steeds te zien).
Voor de stop ware dune buggies gehuurd konden worden (extra) veel te veel tijd genomen.
