VIP Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Private Seating Area

Excursion not up to the description. Departure was delayed by 01 hour without explanation and without apology. Pick-up at the hotel and then departure towards the dunes. Travel time before arriving from the dunes is 01 h Then Safari in dunes for about 30 minutes with a single pose to take photos. Then arrives in a roadside place where there is supposedly the village with the farm In fact it is a closed enclosure where there are two camels that are there to do only the photos and a tower of 20 meters. So this corresponds to the camel ride . ( I had another vision of the ride ...) When we arrive we are offered to put a turban on our head. Once installed, it claims the sum of 50 EAD. Then we are told that to make a camel ride, we have to get in the long queue. And then you have access to a "ViP" place with access to water , drinks and coffee and tea bags ..... Then waiting before the meal that is not served at the table, it is in buffet form. Salad , sweetbreads and skewers and sausage Only still water at the table and then the show which was not great. The camp where we were was the place where all the excursions arrive. About 200 people on the site. Then all drinks are paid for, chichas paid for. The ViP option is not VIP. 70 euros per person is really too expensive for for service I advise against it. No sunset photos on the dinners in from the camp the sunset overlooks buildings

We were really looking forward to the tour in the desert, especially with all the inclusive services. For ~70€/person, you should be offered quite something. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The tour should last 6 hours, pick-up was scheduled at 2.30 pm. Already the day before I got the message that we would not be picked up until about 4 pm due to the late sunset. Pick up by our driver Kahlid was impeccable, he was very friendly, funny and spoke fluent English. We were taken to the camels to feed them, there we had a maximum of 5 minutes, quickly on, on to dune bashing, it was adventurous and fun, Kahlid also responded to special requests. We arrived in the desert at a tourist gathering point. Quad driving- for a fee... Included services Camel riding: 30 seconds inclusive, 10 minutes ~50€, when we thankfully declined the longer (paid) camel tour we were treated rudely and patchily. Afterwards we were dropped off in the VIP Lounge. There were soft drinks, we asked what happened next - waiting for the food. After >30min wait we asked Kahlid again when the falcon shoot, sandboarding or hookah smoking happened, he said if we want that we can go there immediately. If we hadn't asked several times, we wouldn't have heard of it. Back in our lounge, the sun was silently setting, no one had noticed. Starry sky due to light pollution misrepresentation. The shows were ok. The food (buffet) was not bad, however, cooked from cheapest ingredients for the mass. There was rice, chickpeas, chickpeas, chickpeas, some fly-surrounded salads and grilled chicken skewers from a warming box. Culinary 2/10. Several times we were rudely asked by passing traders to buy drinks, food or hookah, we explained that these services are included with us, he still tried again. After dinner back in the car and off to the hotel, where we arrived around 8.30pm, after 4.5 hours instead of 6 hours, for which we had actually paid. + see a lot in little time + Drinks / food included + very friendly, competent driver - Touri rip-off - Price / performance very poor - if you don't take care of your own performance (for which you paid), you won't get one. For ~25€/person the tour would have been very nice, but this high price was really not justified.

I am extremely disappointed and regretful about this experience. I paid for a VIP package, but it was nothing like what was promised. In fact, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. First, the guide was silent throughout the trip—he didn’t provide any explanations or details about what we were seeing. The camp itself looked abandoned, and there was no photo opportunity as advertised. The barbecue, which was supposed to be served at the table, was not provided. The food buffet was subpar and frankly disgusting. There was no henna painting as promised, and there was no Camel Farm, which was a major selling point for me. I am embarrassed to have brought my partner along for this "adventure" that cost me not only money but also valuable time during our trip to Abu Dhabi. This experience was a huge letdown, and I would never recommend it to anyone.

Khalid helped us with everything from picking us up to taking us to Safari. It was a great experience overall and great service too. Recommended for first time experience.

All perfect, super service and super fun. We had camel tour, baggy safari and the dinner was amazing. Nayef is kind and gentle. i really recommend to have a trip with him

Ahmed picked us up from the hotel to begin our desert safari. Lovely funny tour guide and amazing driver. Up and down the sandunes was such a fabulous experience. We visited a camel farm and I have to say the camels were friendly and interactive
