Ali was an AMAZING guide who taught us so much about Dubai and Ramadan. He is a fantastic, skilled driver who showed us the experience of a lifetime. A must do when visiting Dubai. An extremely exciting adventure not to be missed. Thank you, Ali!!

Dubai sands

Pennie_H, Dec 2024
The driver was very irratic , we had to wait in their compound in the heat for an hour while they changed vehicles, we were constantly harassed to buy souveniers and scarves.

The best excursion ever

lina_k, Nov 2024
Me and my partner loved seeing the sunset, he really enjoyed sane boarding, the food was very nice good service, our tour guide amjad was the best and very accommodating

It was an absolute shambles of a trip and almost caused a loss of llife.You should not be allowed to conduct trips

Sharon_O, Apr 2024
afternoon, You will be aware of what happened on our disastrous trip yesterday. Not only do I want a full refund but both myself and husband had ruined clothes and he completely lost his expensive timberland shoes when he had to rescue all the females from the car due to the incompetence of your driver. I am expecting you offer substantial compensation or I will be taking the matter further. For your information my husband’s occupation is a lawyer. Sharon Owen

Safari

aamirahbsjk, Mar 2024
Driver was okay. Upon arrival at the camp, someone explained everything about the event and somehow influenced everyone in our group to upgrade to VIP (seats + buffet dinner) Seat was worth it as you get comfortable sofas but the food wasn’t worth the price.. good experience overall

Bad weather

Kamal_L, Feb 2024
The weather was terrible We didn't get the BBQ dinner and there was no dance or fire show Please advise on refund 🙏

The driver was double...

Megu_H, Dec 2023
The driver was double booking the tour. While my tour group was waiting for the driver, he was picking up another tour group. He was late 1 hour for our meeting time because he was picking up another group. The driving was also very rough that it made me very uneasy. The front part of the car was also broken, which made my anxiety worse.

Excellent trip. Price was so cheap we weren’t sure what to expect but, it was one of the best camps we’ve been to

Carly_H, Oct 2023
The driver was so fun and explained everything brilliantly. The camp was lovely. Upgrade available at camp which was well worth the money. Shows were good. Food was lovely

Best dessert safari w bbq dinner!

Catherine_M, Jul 2023
Awesome experience from dessert safari, camel ride, dinner with belly dancers and fire acrobats! Excellent!

Excellent experience!!...

AESHA_P, May 2023
Excellent experience!! Great value for money. Everything from pickup to drop off was perfect. I highly recommend this trip and will be back.

Camp very disappointing,...

JeanneMarie_M, May 2023
Camp very disappointing, good not great at all, things included in package was very misleading. A lot of money for a disappointing experience overall

Nobody gives attention...

Peter_A, Apr 2023
Nobody gives attention for additional request (child seat)... I request a shild seat in booking and in the whatsup answer twice...

Terrible - avoid

Catherine_D, Apr 2023
A terrible experience from start to finish; rude driver in unsafe car. Camel ride lasted all of 02 minutes and for which we were double charged - and not a belly dance in sight. The whole evening spent under constant harassment to buy over priced tat from numerous men who were intimidating and pushy. Plus, having all paid for the same trip, on arrival guests were given the choice of making an extra payment for so called VIP seats. Those that paid were able to access food when ready - those that didn’t had to sit in lower standard seating and were not permitted to access food until the ‘VIPs’ had done so. Would not entertain this trip, particularly if you are females travelling alone or a family.

Experience of a lifetime

Ali was an AMAZING guide who taught us so much about Dubai and Ramadan. He is a fantastic, skilled driver who showed us the experience of a lifetime. A must do when visiting Dubai. An extremely exciting adventure not to be missed. Thank you, Ali!!

A good tour spoiled by poor organising.

Graham_B, Feb 2023
There was a chunk of simply hanging about and waiting. Tour could have started a couple of hours later and omitted the waiting periods and would have been a great experience. Spoiled by the sitting around waiting.

Best ever

Nadia_D, Feb 2023
Camel ride and the safari was an adventure. I didn’t imagine what the safari was but It certainly scary at time. I am surprised but I enjoyed.

Book separate dune riding only

STEFANIE_D, Dec 2022
So disappointing. Spend all this money on a tour. Our guide said nothing to us the whole time. Dunes were fun. Then drop off for an hour in very run down atv area where u have to pay. Then get to camel ride and it's 1 minute or you have to pay. Henna is small or have to pay. Try to get you to upgrade to vip buffet. People hounding you for money all over. Bathrooms completely unsanitary. Sand boarding was three cracked old snowboards on a junk hill.

Great experience

Samuel_N, Dec 2022
The drive was amazing. The experience at the camp was welcoming. Definitely recommended to anyone visiting Dubai

Dubai Desert Sand Tour

Brent_G, Oct 2022
Interesting tour. Guide went over and above to help us in desert sand. My wife has mobility issues and company could not have been more helpful

Driver

Adetola_O, Jul 2022
Our driver Shubs was so lovely and helpful and made out journey memorable. Thank you so much we appreciate it

Refund request

KumbiraiChris_B, Apr 2022
We booked and paid for desert Safari on 19 March 2022. Your operator sent a message and told us they where fully booked. The operator asked if we must reschedule or get a refund. I requested for a refund. I have not yet received my refund and I have sent many whatsapp messages that go un-answered. Please assist in us getting our refund

Arrived 2and a half hours late!

Margaret_H, Mar 2022
Dune adventure was the best bit.But started badly with driver arriving two and a half hours late fir pick up !! Poor communication. Most people would have given up on the tour ..which would have been a real shame

Excellent Safari and all the entertainment at camp.

Vernon_R, Feb 2022
This is the 5th Desert Safari's I have been to and one of the best. The driver was really friendly and always advising on the local trade when we stopped. The whole experience one we got to cap was brilliant and the only thing I would like to mention is to wear a wrap or hoodie as it gets windy and cold once the sun goes down.

All around fantastic

dm_V, Jan 2022
Don't look further, everything is great. The driving, the performances, the guide, the food. Excellent value.

Dessert ride on dunes was...

Darshan_S, Dec 2021
Dessert ride on dunes was the best part of the trip...dancers and fire show performers were great as well.

ABSOUTLY INCREÍBLE

Yelena_V, Dec 2021
Everything about this trip was very incredible! Especially our trip guide, he was very interactive and made the experience that much better. Unfortunately I don’t remember his name 😢. The fire show left us speachless! It was an experience like no other. A MUST DO TRIP! Some tips: bring a sweater because it gets cold pretty quickly. Bring some sunglasses as well

great tour

Salema_K, Dec 2021
Great experience from start to finish. Driver was great and we had a lot of fun. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking this

Dune Busting with Haroon

Steven_S, Nov 2021
We had a wonderful time. Haroon picked us up at our airport, and we made some great new friends on the journey. He was great with the dune busting. The camel ride was easy. Food was good and the entertainment was talented. Definitely worth a day trip to get all those unique activities in.

Best day in the desert

Ian_M, Nov 2021
The dessert safari was just incredible. The driving skill was of the chart. Our guide Haroon was lots of fun too.

Zack was a great host. He...
