The tour guide, Liezel, was very professional. Called in the morning to say an approximate pick up time and was waiting at the hotel for pick up. The camels and quad bike for 20 minutes was included. The desert tour was breathtaking and professional, highly recommended Liezel for a ride. I recommend for travelers to not be late at the pick up time. Fully worth the money.

Lack of communication

Sindisiwe_M, Jun 2026
I would like to leave my review, I was really not happy with your company services. First there's lack of communication 2nd your driver was really late and my guests where not happy about at least if there was communication. It was my first time using your company and I guess it will be my last time to ever use it again.

Dessert Safari

diverz12, Jan 2026
The events were interesting but the tour is very disorganized. There are several vehicle changes and the guides do not do a great job explaining anything. During the experience there is the constant try to get you to upgrade to extras on every event. Make sure if you want to use the restrooms you take your own paper.......

Desert Safari Overall Experience

Trinity_P, Nov 2025
Wow, wow, wow!!!! Thanks to Dream Night Tours for the Desert Safari adventure…it was exactly what we hoped it would be and more. And a huge thank you to our guide Hassan. He was fantastic. His knowledge about UAE (history, present & future plans) was superior. He kept us abreast of our itinerary and kept us on-time to make sure our experiences wasn’t delayed or denied. His patience was well matched with our eagerness too. Hassan gave great recommendations when we wanted to explore more or try different experiences. He was such a cool guy and was perfect for the job. We can’t stop talking about it. He fit in like he was family. Taking the time to learn everyone’s name to personalize their experience made my heart smile-it showed that he really cared and that he was genuinely interested…it was evident that he loves what he does. We were treated like royalty and our transportation was really nice too. Oh, let me not forget our photography stop…simply amazing! The shots Hassan captured were absolutely stunning. It captured the breathtaking views of the desert and depicts the cultural landscape within. Our desert safari adventure was one that we will never forget.

Not worth the money (not company specific)

Mette_W, Nov 2025
This is not a reflection on this particular company but rather the 'desert experience' overall. For me, it was a really disappointing experience with constant attempts at upselling by various sales people (not the driver). The ATV experience was boring as, given it was one in a big sandy paddock with HORDES of other people. Expect some 500 + people to share all the tour activities with you, not great. Camel ride a gimmick for a photo opportunity (another upsell), dune bashing was really good!! Amazing driving skills but only lasted 10mins for my car. BBQ was honestly awful. Another upsell. There was normal and premium seating. The normal seating couldn't eat until two shows were done, which left little time and big queues for food. I opted for the higher cost premium BBQ, where you could eat straight away. Food was not great and constant attempts to get you to buy add ons. Again some 500+ people at the camp... quite frankly disliked the entire experience.

Very good driver and show...

Ernest_L, Oct 2025

AN ok trip but needs some improvements

Elizabeth_M, Jan 2025
The dune bashing is always really fun. Although we were in a car with a lady who had a small child- completely unsuitable and annoying as she kept saying 'mummy i don't like it' so with all due respect there should be an age limit... The Quad biking is great but 30 mins is too long to go round in a circle. if you go out into the desert great otherwise i would limit this to 15 mins. Camel riding also fun and the show is always good. Food wasn't as good as it could have been ( have had better on previous trips) but certainly was not bad.

Bad experience with bad operator

Nelisiwe_M, Jan 2025
The time the chaos the people at the quad bike are not friendly at all, they were rushing us to finish we hooked 30 min we ended up doing 20min telling us to get off the bikes. The people selling doek scarfs are very rude we cousknt afford scarf for R7000 they were looking at us badly. The people r the camel were keep telling us to take pics when we told them we have no money. The only thing we enjoyed was the night at the dubai tourism. Our operator was not informing us of what to expect on the day ebeyhring was a rush rush, safari rush, quad bikes rush, we were made to run with kids we were bored and regret the money we invested on that day we could have done other activities which are cheaper

Dune bashing was great, everything else was a disappointment.

Jasim_H, Dec 2024
On the positives we enjoyed the dune bashing and quad bike ride, on the negatives the tour guide driver was texting, watching videos and inputting directions on his mobile phone while driving, he also got lost on his way to the desert camp and then got stuck in sand before help arrived after more than 45 minutes; the camel ride consisted of a 1 minute 40 second circuit at night, the BBQ dinner was just 1 piece kebab and 1 piece chicken with other flavourless dishes, drinks were limited to 1 cola OR 1 small water per person. Overall disappointed as I was expecting a better experience after the dune bashing.

Amazing Dune Bashing with Yasir, Fun Quad Biking, BBQ Needs Work

Gagandeep_S, Jan 2024
Had an amazing time on the desert safari in Dubai! Yasir Khan was our guide - super friendly and an expert at dune bashing. He picked us up on time, and his driving skills on the dunes were incredible. The quad biking was a blast too. Overall, a fantastic experience and great fun. The BBQ was a bit of let down when it comes to food though. Everything was an upgrade to be bought. But I still highly recommend it because of Yasir.

Okay experience. You get what you pay for.

Zeshan_C, Oct 2023
Youre picked up by the tour guide. Then straight to ATVs which lasts for about 30 mins (there's a specific area the size of a football field). Then you head straight to the camp where you do dune bashing for about 20 mins; super fun. You're offered a camel ride for about 10 seconds (literally, you get on and do a circle for 10 seconds). Then there's supposed to be sandblasting but the the dune is so tiny and the board is not waxed so that's not even fun. Finally you're lead to the dinner area where you get the option to upgrade to a better buffet type area for 50 extra AEDs (which imo is worth it). Finally there's 4 different shows, two of which are belly dancers. Overall the food, ATVs and the dune bashing is worth the price of the tour but just know the sandboarding and camel ride is just not there. Decided to get shisha at the table for which you are charged additional 50 AED. The shisha is not worth it, flavour lasts about 10 minutes after which if you bring that up to the workers, you get "this is what the flavour tastes like". They assume you don't know what a good shisha is like. Do not get shisha at the table, it's a waste. Just smoke the free one that they have a separate area for. 7/10 for the experience. 10/10 for our tour guide Akhlaq, he was great and friendly. He took the time to answer all over questions.

Great day out

rose_g, Oct 2023
Picked up promptly by Ramzan. In 4x4 with other couples.Taken to quad bikes, great time then dune bashing, camels and the area where you watch the entertainment and eat. The food was better than expected and although there were lots of people they were very organised in everyone getting food, you have starter,main meal and desert. Water was freely available and soft drinks with the meal. The entertainment was good especially the fire show. A very good day out.
