Excellent tour guide! Very polite and courteous!
We booked this safari as a work team outing and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our Dubai trip. Everything ran exactly on schedule from pickup to drop-off - smooth and well organized throughout. The quad bikes were a lot of fun, and the team also gave us a board to ride down the dunes, which turned into one of the most memorable parts of the day (they were great about helping us clean off the sand afterwards). The guys were also very helpful with photos, making sure everyone in the group got good shots. Dinner at the fortress was excellent — beautiful setting, great variety of food, and the live shows were a perfect end to the evening. A special thank you to QAISAR - your hospitality and attention to detail made the experience genuinely memorable for our whole group. Highly recommended.
Excellent service, it was an amazing experience

Massive fun. Riding the dunes was so exciting and unique to this area. The meal was wonderful and the entertainment was outstanding, Absolutely recommend this excursion.
This tour exceeded all my expectations! From sand surfing to the dinner and live performances, everything was beautifully organized and offered a wonderful immersion into Arabic culture. I’d especially like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our guide, Syed Akhtar—his excellent driving skills, great music taste, warm personality, and constant support truly made the experience unforgettable. I would book any trip with him again without hesitation—he’s truly my “Arabic angel”! Highly recommended!
Our desert experience was absolutely amazing, and our driver made it truly unforgettable. He was extremely skilled and confident while driving across the dunes, which made the whole adventure both thrilling and safe. You could clearly see his experience and professionalism in the way he handled the vehicle, even on the steep and challenging slopes. Besides being a fantastic driver, he was also very friendly and welcoming. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, kept the atmosphere fun, and shared interesting information about the desert and the surroundings. Thanks to him, the entire trip was exciting, smooth, and well organized. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an incredible desert adventure.
This was a fantastic experience – anyone visiting Dubai shouldn’t miss it! Yar was our driver, very kind and friendly. He picked us up at our accommodation and dropped us back there as well. We travelled across the desert dunes in his car, which was an amazing experience – you could really feel that he does this job with heart and passion. In the evening, we attended an Arabic show with unlimited soft drinks and local food. We enjoyed every single moment of it. We can only recommend it to everyone and hope to meet again in the near future.
Was na amazing experience for desert safari. We were picked from our hotel and were driven to the site on a 90 minute ride in a toyota land cruiser. Our trip guide Yar was very welcoming. The drive on the sand dunes was little rough in bringing (but that's how it is meant to be), once we requested to keep it moderate, Yar immediately scaled down. The dinner after the safari was amazing. It was a 5 star setup with cultural performance and dinner. Being veg, I was happy to see so many options to eat.
We had the best day ever on this trip! The 4x4 sand dune ride driven by Pappu was thrilling, my husband and grandson loved quad biking in the sand and we all loved the camel and Arabian horse rides. The venue for the delicious meal and fabulous shows was a spectacular fortress. I highly recommend this must do amazing day out.
