Shoaib was a wonderful guide for the ATV and camel ride and is the best 4x4 AWD Driver of all times, maneuvering our Toyota SUV through the desert and dunes with the utmost skill.
He was very cordial, accommodating, and made the day a true pleasure.
The only negative was that we had to follow a guide when driving the ATVs, which was probably safer, and less fun.
The evening show and food was just OK and could have been skipped.

The evening ended beautifully with a delicious dinner at the desert camp and fantastic live entertainment shows Highly recommended for an unforgettable desert experience.

Amazing Evening Desert Safari Tour!
This was our first visit to the UAE, and we had an unforgettable Desert Safari experience with our guide, Mohsin Pathan. He is a brilliant, knowledgeable, and experienced guide who made the whole journey memorable.
Mohsin explained the history of the UAE and gave us detailed information about each tour activity. He is also an excellent and skilled driver . the dune bashing was thrilling and exciting!
We enjoyed quad bike riding, took amazing photos with a falcon, and at the photo point, Mohsin took beautiful pictures for us he's also a great photographer!
We had so much fun with sandboarding, and the tour ended with a wonderful evening at Dream Night Camp, where we enjoyed the lovely atmosphere, a delicious live BBQ dinner, and entertaining live shows.
We highly recommend Mohsin Pathan for anyone looking to do a Desert Safari tour in Dubai. Thanks once again, Mohsin, for making our tour so special!

Great time. Hussain was on time and polite. My husband did get sick in sand bashing but that was expected given his history. The bbq was decent but the show took a bit too long with dead space. The camels at the camp did not seem happy so I did not ride.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Dear Guests,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that Hussain provided timely and courteous service.
We’re sorry to hear about your husband’s experience with the sand bashing and understand it can be a bit intense, especially with a sensitive history. Regarding the show, we appreciate your feedback on the wait time, and I’m pleased to let you know that we’ve made adjustments to reduce the “dead space” between performances.
We also take your feedback about the camels seriously, and we'll work with our team to ensure all animals are treated with the utmost care and respect.
Thank you once again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future!
Warm regards,
Adventure Experts Tourism

Brilliant experience and so much fun. The guide was fantastic throughout making it a fun and memorable experience. Dune bashing is awesome.
Quad biking was really good fun over the dunes. A short camel ride was also fun and a good experience with the option to have photos taken. An extra after the camel ride was the opportunity to hold a falcon.
The BBQ and shows afterwards was just what was needed to finish the experience and relax. Food in abundance & freshly prepared, unlimited soft drinks.
Transfers to & from your hotel are included in a 4 x 4 with the guide. Frequent communication about collection times & driver was given.
Thank you for a fab experience.
