Everyone was helpful, friendly and took great care of us. Guide did great photos and the snacks were delicious. Enjoyed the camel experience. Ended up upgrading to dune buggy…which I preferred to have a “roll bar.” Overall very fun and highly recommended!

Overall, a great experience. I have been traveling for work and wanted to do something fun and to get out earlier to beat the heat. My gf and I tried sandboarding and rode an ATV around for a bit early before it got super hot outside. I would like to do the full safari at some point (I've heard there are fire dancers and whatnot), but enjoyed the fact that we got to do all of this just her and myself. Will be back at some point with family for sure!

Fantastic family day out! The driver was on time to collect from the selected pick up point, was extremely polite and helpful, and made us feel welcome. After a 45 minute drive out to the desert, we hopped straight onto the quad bikes and had an hour to drive around the dunes. Plenty of photo ops and a chance to sandboard. Overall, a great day ☀️

Everything was excellent. Would recommend a light jacket or sweatshirt forbthe 4x4 ride. Desert is chilly in the morning!

Tour booked and asked to meet at different location from our hotel as pick up not possible from the hotel we are staying, even though hotel is within the Dubai area as stated in description of pick ups. Arrived at pick up area 15 minutes beforehand to ensure there on time, but no sign of driver by 7am. Attempted to call/whatsapp message the company but no answer, and also asked hotel staff to try and call but again no answer. We then received an email at 07:13 stating that our tour has been cancelled, with refund taking up to 5 days. This is completely unacceptable to cancel after the agreed upon pick up time of 7am, especially as we had to pay for taxis to the pick area, and then back to our hotel. This is our last day in Dubai and we were looking forward to ending on a high, only to be disappointed by this and having been given no explanation as to why this has happened. This tour was recommended to us by a friend, and are really dissatisfied with the service.

Great fun! Highly recommended for families or for couples. This experience exceeded our expectations.

I have lived off and on in Dubai since 1999 and I’ve never really done a safari. Decided to give it a try since I brought a friend along from the states. For what you pay this experience is well worth it. We had a lot of fun.
Andreas_I, Nov 2024
Quad bike self driving experience was great, our guide was the best and pick up option from our place was very good scheduled! Thank you for unforgetable experience!
Angelo_S, Sep 2024
Easily one of the best trips we've ever done! Everything about it from start to finish was brilliant, Asraf was a really good guide and going in the morning meant the temperature was slightly cooler and made it more enjoyable - would definately recommend and will do it again!
Sasha_C, Sep 2024
This trip was amazing! Great pick up and drop off service, the 1hr quad biking was so much fun including the sand boarding, the camel ride was good and it was interesting to go to the camp for refreshments! Would absolutely book this trip again, definitely recommend

What a wonderful experience we had, quad biking camel riding and sand surfing, and the host/driver maya was a star and the you g man who was our guide on the quadbikes.
christophe_b, Jul 2024
We had s great time. Our guide was on time. He was helpful, friendly, professional. Is recommend to friends.
Jennifer_C, Jul 2024
Amazing time! Driver was very personable and prompt. He told us information and history of Dubai. We upgraded to the sand buggy and it was 100% worth it. We rode the four wheelers and then went to ride camels and have donuts and coffee. When we drove back to our hotel, he took us by the Burj Khalifa and to see a mosque. Would absolutely book this again. Wonderful experience all around!

Nina_a, Mar 2024
Amazing experience! Thank you a lot for this magical adventure, specailly our guide Shabir! Everything was perfect! 😊
Prabhsangam_G, Mar 2024
Our tour guide was amazing, he made sure we had a proper experience of the ATV, sand boarding, camel ride, and falcon picture
Ralph_M, Mar 2024
We found this experience really enjoyable and would definitely recommend! With the tour being in the morning, we were able to have a much smaller group (6 total) and avoid the dessert heat. Our quad bike lead driver also allowed us to be much more freeing due to the smaller group. The sandboarding was great fun and our tour guide was friendly and talkative.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to our tour not being the 60 minutes, as advertised. Our quad bike experience plus the sandboarding totaled to 40 minutes
Ken_S, Jan 2024
Safe and fun time for the whole family. Even my 14 year old had a blast! Our guide Shabir was fantastic and informative. Would definitely go with this tour company again.
Bryar_P, Nov 2023

Kirsty_B, Sep 2023
Amazing service from collection and drop of to hotel plus all the activities, Shabir was amazing we really enjoyed all of it and they use your phone to take all pictures and images
Morena_G, Aug 2023
The 1 hour quad tour is definitely worth it! Cool guides and nice spots. They also take great pictures.
Ron_M, Jun 2023
Have been on several of these events but this one defo the best…..60 minutes on quality quads on amazing desert circuit with a wonderful guide who took the most amazing photographs of our group……
The camel ride again was taken on healthy animals and covered a short scenic route…
Great fun and worthy of a top rated 5/5 for all aspects.
Liam_L, Jun 2023
Great company to deal with very good communication and great day out, the driver was really good and very helpful
Angela_S, Jun 2023
Well organized. Super Trip. Higly recommended.
Our Quad Guide made sensationell Fotos.
Sad to find on a few spots Plastic bottles in the dessert. Maybe something could be done that people will not do this.
Cynthia_J, Jun 2023
The most memorable experience was the camel ride. The ATV please be aware they would leave you stuck in the dessert it's 2 instructors instead of 1 being in the front and 1 in the back they both stayed up front. I got stuck in the sand and everyone left me. I was stuck in the dessert for about 30 mins before my friend came to look for me. The tour driver was amazing he stood up for me and let them know that they was wrong for leaving me.
Jacob_I, May 2023
If you are visiting Dubai and want to do quad biking in the desert I highly recommend booking through here I’ve now booked twice and it’s been an amazing experience both times and will definitely be visiting again and booking again
jas_c, May 2023
Excellent tour guide. Thoroughly enjoyed the experiences and at a great price too. Would definitely recommend to others. We had easy pick up/drop off from our hotel. The quad biking was amazing and our guide encouraged us to try new things and switchover so we all enjoyed it.
Rob_M, May 2023
Kirin our tour guide was great! The adventure itself was awesome as well. From the atv, to the sand board, to the camel ride and to the falcon pic. Wow…amazing memories!
Harold_I, Apr 2023
Great way to spend half of day with my 16yr old. No complaints. Driver was punctual. ATV in the Dubai, riding camels and trying authentic Srinivasan snacks was awesome. Yours was as described.
Karen_D, Apr 2023
Professional guide, luxury transportation. The quad biking in the desert was a real highlight of my trip to Dubai. Camel ride was short and sweet. Refreshments afterwards a pleasant experience.
