It was a fun experience. Life is too short not to try different things like Sand Bashing and Sand surfing.
Our guide Abdul was an amazing driver thru the hills and creates through the desert sands. Enjoyed this experience tremendously.

Perfectly organised and executed, comms were superb, Abdul our driver and guide was an exceptionally nice guy, very attentive, knowledgeable, and a superb driver, great photographer too. The safari was the last of our trips and excursions after a very long holiday and I would say it was probably the best, we saved the best to last! Great way to see the dune/desert land scape! The evening entertainment was brilliant, food was lovely, and the shows we saw were first class. We would highly recommend Abdul!

Our Arabian night in the desert - caringly and masterfully guided by Abdul - will go down in our book of memories as one of the most awe-inspiring ones ever!
From the tangerine dunes that stretched as far as the eye could see, to the golden sunset, to the laughter-filled daring turns in the sand, every moment of this outing was a delight.
The evening culminated in an enthralling show of dancers, fire and camels, followed by a delectable buffet of local cuisine. Definitely a night to remember!
We recommend this excursion to all 🖤.

This is a worth while experience, something a bit different. You are well looked after from.start to finish, there is a great selection of food at the buffet. I recommend wearing shoes that are strapped to your feet making walking on sand easier

Adriano_T, Apr 2025
The experience was remarkable and the experienced operator was kind and accommodating. Highly recommended but...
Ask to avoid as much as possible an unwanted stop in a tourist trap, which offers expensive quad bike rides as well as drinks and souvenirs. The excuse of waiting (exactly half an hour) for other caravaners to join the tour obviously doesn't hold water. During dinner, you will also be approached by rather insistent salespeople, but this is not particularly annoying.
The desert is beautiful, even if the number of other cars makes it seem a little staged. The shows are very interesting.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear Adriano thanks for your opinion and appreciate for your kind words and we pass your words to our guide . As you know we stop 30 menut @our meeting point because of the guest request for refreshments and some of need toilets .

Great Trip, Dune bashing was fun and also nice for small Kids. Dinner was delicious with Lots of choices. Camel Ride was very Short but okay, the free Henna Tattoo is a Tiny flower, but you can choose different Designs to pay for. Dance and Fire Show was nice!
Our Guide Hashim was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the Trip!

Hashim Mohammad our driver and guide was awesome. He was very courteous and accommodating. He was attentive to our requests and checked in on us often to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. If the opportunity presented itself again I would definitely participate and would love for Hashim to be my driver and guide.

A great experience, once in a lifetime, which was definitely elevated due to the guidance of Hashim who was very patient with us. He was very informative and very considerate to our needs as we had elderly parents with us. I would certainly recommend this to anyone. Thank you again to Hashim.

I booked Dubai as a stopover specifically to do the Desert Safari as it was a big bucket list activity of mine. It did not disappoint! We had a small mixed group of 5 people and had a blast. Abdul was our guide and was very knowledgeable with the culture and history of Dubai. We had an exhilarating 4X4 bashing experience through the red dunes. I booked quad biking through the dunes, which I'm so glad I did. The guide from Desert Storm was incredible. And the Bedouin Camp were fantastic, dancers were so talented, and the food was delicious and plentiful.

Great tour, worth the money. Hashim was very prompt and hospitable to our group. The dune bashing was so much fun but the jeeps were properly equipped to handle that rough driving.
He answered all our questions and adequately prepped us for the desert experience and how to be 'ready' for the vendors. Lol.
We would definitely recommend 👌🏽

Viator are not letting me write a review on another tour I complained about so I’m written here. I’ve used Viator for years but never again. Customer service is horrendous. So not use them

Abdul was a great guide. He was very friendly and polite. While having a bit of a language barrier, we went out of his way to make sure we had a great time along with helping us take the best pictures possible. Dune bashing was an unforgettable experience! The overall excursion was definitely worth the money. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Dubai beyond the city limits.

The while trip was amazing - Majid was our guide and he made a big effort to make it enjoyable. Took loads of fab photos. The dune bashing was a great laugh. The food was good but the long journey home at the end if the trip was a drag. You have got to do this trip - excellent value for money.

My family and I absolutely loved this tour. Great pick up from our hotel and journey to the red dunes. Had the opportunity to pay a little extra and go on the quad bikes/dune buggies which was a nice bonus. The dune bashing and sand boarding was amazing and our tour guide Abdul took some stunning photos of us as the sun was setting. Really enjoyed the BBQ and shows to finish off. Our guide was Abdul Rahman and he was fantastic - really made us feel welcome and amazing attention to detail to make our trip evening more enjoyable. Would definitely give the trip and Abdul 5 stars!!

This activity by far was the most significant of my entire visit to Dubai. The Dubai evening Desert Safari & BBQ Dinner is an amazing and absolute experience you will ever live. From the evening sunset, to walking barefoot on the red sand and even hold a falcon with your own hands not to mention watching the sunset on the desert is a must see experience! Riding camel and enjoying the show and food ads up to your vacation destination. I was blown away for the absolute attention to details of our tour guide Zahid he is one of the best tour guides I have ever met, very nice, hospitable and super helpful and friendly. Not to mention he has a great variety of music! It has almost been a week of this experience and I’m still talking about it. I highly recommend this trip to everyone traveling to Dubai. I have been in 15 countries and this activity top it all! I will definitely do again thank you Viator, thank you Zahid! Traveler you who’s reading this review don’t hesitate to book it it’s an amazing experience to be out there and enjoy what Dubai has hiding and waiting for you to discover!
