Our guide Shoaib was great! Picked us up on time. During dune bashing one of the other passengers was feeling sick so he took her to the meeting point and then took us back out so we got the full experience! Dinner and entertainment were good, everything is included! We rode a camel! It was great!

The dune bashing with Saeed our driver was phenomenal and exhilarating. A real exciting rush and the Bedouin camp with the camels and food was outstanding.

Dear Mr. James,
Thank you for sharing your exhilarating experience! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the phenomenal dune bashing with Saeed and found it to be a real exciting rush. It's wonderful to know that the Bedouin camp with the camels and food was outstanding as well. We appreciate your feedback.

The drive through the desert was good fun and the children loved it. Great fun and a must do experience when visiting Dubai.

Such a great experience, our driver was so good. One of the best things we’ve done on our holiday. The kids loved the fire show!

Really enjoyed this.
Just be aware the car is a 7 seater and will be maxed out if possible which I didn't know but was fine(family x 3).
Take some water with you too.
Khalid was our driver/guide and he was very good.
Camel ride is only a couple of minutes but that was plenty.

An average experience - can’t say anything overwhelmed. The performances were not as good as I experienced 2 years back, also the ride was much less thrilling this time.

Our tour guide, Salem, was great! He was super personable and made sure you were taken care of throughout he whole trip. My friend and I were hesitating on riding the 4 wheelers, as it was our first time on one, but he convinced us and we could have not been more grateful! We had a blast and now cannot believe we would have missed out on that experience. Dune bashing was THE HIGHLIGHT, as well as the fire show at the camp!! Felt safe with Salem as the driver.

I gave 1 star not because of the experience but because of the driver Shahid. He picked us up from our hotel on time and then he booked another 2 people with us as well which we weren't aware of. We thought it was a private safari so it was a shock when we realise that 2 more people will be with us as well. The shows and food was good. However the driver was very inappropriate and not professional at all. He got too Frank and acted very creepy. We didn't feel safe with him at all.

So much included in this tour. Convenient pick up from our hotel. A thrilling drive through sand dunes with stops for sand boarding and photos. Mohamed stopped for us to pet friendly camels. At the dinner camp I held an Arabian falcon, rode a camel and got a henna tattoo. Great value!

Von der Abholung bis zum Ende ein rundum gelungene Tour, unser Fahrer Rashid war top 🔝, mega organisiert, jederzeit wieder, empfehlenswert!!

Shahid notre guide était un raciste pur et dur. Il avait beaucoup de mal à cacher son mépris et son désintérêt vis à vis de nous. Arrêt chez ses copains pour nous faire faire des achats à des prix malhonnêtes...
Autrement c’est un bon conducteur. À éviter si vous avez la peau foncée !
