Wonderful guide (Jafra), who was informative, kind and polite. The dune bashing was great - maybe he could tell we preferred a gentle pace because it was fun but not scary. The breakfast by the lake, with so much wildlife, was peaceful and delicious. It was the best trip of our holiday and I would recommend this company.

The desert tour in Dubai was absolutely amazing! Just a few hours from the city, we were able to take in breathtaking desert landscapes. Plus, the private tour allowed for flexible scheduling, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Wouaaaaaa😍🤩 top activity, message the day before via WhatsApp for the departure time, message in the morning, super guide very attentive and explains, take the time for photos etc etc. Coffee break in the middle of the desert, gargantuan breakfast in a reserve, very nice encounters with oryx, gazelles and many others…. And what about the landscape and the spectacle of the rising sun….. to do without hesitation. Thanks to our pilot on 05/07/2024.

We spent a lovely sunrise in the desert. We realy enjoyed the drive with our guide Musthafa. He flavoured the experience with a great amount of knowledge and facts about Dubai and the dessert. He was very attentive and even managed to show us some camels. Thank you so much.
We were picked up on time by our driver Sahib with a white Toyota jeep. The tour lasted a total of 4 hours and we enjoyed it a lot. Our driver Sahib was very nice and responded to our wishes. Super photo stops and a great ride over the dunes. Nice breakfast was also available. The trip was perfect!
Orient Tours!! Good job, I cannot thank you enough for giving myself and my group of 19 people the best Dune bashing ever! We had a blast, from start to finish from the 3 jeeps picking us up at our hotel right through to our drop off, we laughed, screamed and cried so much. You know what they say - be careful what you wish for.... Well I simply said to our driver I want to go high and free fall... Bursharan I think his name was... Well we were in the middle jeep and all I can say is that he took us for a dune bashing like no other! Absolutely fantastic, that made the start of my 50th birthday. We went on to Camel riding and Sandboarding and shisha. If anyone has any hesitation in which tour company to book, look no further Orient Tours were on point throughout!
