Desert Quad Biking

Ellie_B, Oct 2025

Whilst the dune bashing & quad bike experience was good, our booking was supposed to also include sand boarding which was not offered. We questioned this and showed our booking confirmation but we were just looked at blankly. The booking was also said to include bottled water, but when we arrived, we were taken to a shop & had to purchase bottled water. There was also the option purchasing a headscarf, but the staff proceeded to put other items of clothing such as jewellery & tunics which we did not want to purchase. We asked for these to be removed & the staff did not seem happy that we did not want to pay for these items. We paid for the head scarfs & water, when we checked what we had been charged, it equated to £63.40. This seems very expensive & felt we were ripped off. The guides who did the transfer/dune bashing & quad biking did not speak very much English so it was hard to communicate. There was also a picture opportunity in the desert where a male approached us with a bird & we felt obliged to have photographs. We were then told we needed to pay, but we thought this was including in the photograph opportunity as part of the package. The man wanted 800AED which is around £160 for photographs taken on our own phone. We refused this as we had no cash, again he was not happy about this. However, he then produced a card machine so felt we had no choice but to pay for the pictures. We did however manage to reduce the price requested for the photographs. Overall, it all felt like a very rushed trip with them wanting more money for everything despite paying for the excursion & it stating it included things we did not get.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and discomfort you experienced during your desert safari. We truly regret that certain aspects of the tour did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that in popular tourist destinations such as the desert, there are many local freelancers and independent vendors who approach guests to sell items like headscarves, souvenirs, photographs, refreshments, and other add-ons. These individuals are not part of the official tour operation and do not work under the tour company or us. Unfortunately, we do not have control over their actions, pricing, or sales approach, as they operate independently. Regarding sandboarding and bottled water, we regret that this was not clearly handled on the day, and we will raise this matter with our supplier to ensure better clarity and coordination going forward. We are sorry that the overall experience felt rushed and that you felt pressured for additional payments. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, and it helps us improve communication and set clearer expectations for future guests. Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Thanks!
