Had a great time. It was very hot in late May, but the camel trek was fun. Our guide Nadeem was very helpful and gave us interesting information about Dubai and local culture. The camels were very well trained by our camel trekking guide, who also took some great photos for us. The dinner was absolutely delicious and the entertainment was enjoyable.

Good but late pickup and hard to get response

Richard_E, Feb 2026

Experience overall was good but not super happy with the pickup being 55 minutes late and the difficulty getting assistance to ensure someone was showing up for us. after being that late, I think the whole experience was a little rushed to try to make up for that lost time. Waited a while on WhatsApp for someone to even respond. Much better from viator who was able to track down driver info. The problem was that driver information wasn’t correct so I couldn’t get a hold of anybody anyways. they should provide tracking of the driver, so you are an assured that they are indeed on their way

Loved this activity. So...

Sarah_B, Feb 2026

Loved this activity. So much effort was put into making the experience special for the customers. Could not fault it.

Worthwhile evening!

John_M, Apr 2024

Great driver. Picked up on time and great sand dune drive to the park! Camel ride was great fun also. Flame show was great, dancing portion not as exciting.

Amazing Tour and Amazing Photos

DeeDee_Z, Dec 2022

This is a must do tour while in Dubai. We have amazing photos and there were so many activities all wrapped in one night, it’s hard to believe it all happened in one tour. The food was awesome and there was so much food. Do it, you’ll be happy.

Camel trek and desert camp experience

Ken_T, Mar 2020

The tour was outstanding. Our guide Zahid Hussain was the best. He picked me up at hotel then the others. Explained the itinerary of the day and offered to take pictures for each of in the group. The camel trek and desert camp dinner and show were great fun. Highly recommend

A must see tour In Dubai.

Jesus_C, Feb 2020

The drive to the dessert was fun, fun, fun. The guide ( Aamerr Abbass) was very good and knowledgeable about the tour. We got everything we expected and more. Camel ride, feeding the camel, the pictures taken were all great. the food and entertainment was good. I would recommend Aamerr Abbass to my friends. The company is lucky to have a tour guide like him.

Es gibt bessere Camps mit besseren Shows

Heidi_W, Mar 2022

Im Vergleich zu zwei bisher in anderen Camps angesehenen Shows ist diese im Al Khaymar nur durchschnittlich. Bauchtanz war es nicht wirklich, nur 3 Showeinlagen und lange Zwischenzeiten. Fahrer Shan war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
