Dubai : VIP Evening Desert Safari, Camello, BBQ Dinner & Dune Bash

Our driver was fantastic couldn’t have asked for more Hot of course but fabulous Didn’t need a head scarf as not very windy

This was an awesome trip! From the start we were well informed of pick up and on time. The experience was amazing, we absolutely loved every part of it and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the whole day/night. Shair was a great guide he is very knowledgeable and made us all feel so welcome and shared so many interesting facts along the way on the trip. Would highly recommend adding to your list of things to do while in Dubai. Thank you again for a great day/night.

This tour was amazing, a real highlight for our stay in Dubai. Shair, our driver picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back after our tour, he was really helpful and very friendly, making us all feel safe and comfortable. The dinner and dance show were great. We would highly recommend Shair and this tour

This tour is totally worth the cost, this is something you will never see unless you book! An added bonus of having a knowledge and experienced guide like Shair! He made the tour so worth it, he was protective and answered anything we needed. Would love to go out there with him again!

I wanted to love this but honestly giving it a one star review is being generous. On the plus side, we were contacted by our guide with a pickup time which was met, so that’s good. After this it all goes downhill. Our “ professional tour guide” barely spoke to us, instead focusing most of his attention on another guest who spoke his native language. The first stop was the quad biking. This is an optional extra taking an hour to do. We opted to not do this and were happy to sit back and relax but other guests went out for a second run which made this activity go well over the hour. While this isn’t necessarily on the guide, I believe it is up to the guide to keep control of the timeframes. Next was the dune bashing which was fun but did not last very long (perhaps because we spent excess time on the first activity?). We then moved on to the camp with the camel rides, BBQ dinner and entertainment. The camel ride included in the package was 20 seconds with some photos taken that you could purchase. For a 10 minute camel ride at extra cost, they took photos on your phone along with the extra photos you could purchase. This seemed a bit of a ripoff but as this was one of the reasons we booked this tour, we paid the extra. We understand that “BBQ” means different things in different countries but what we experienced with the food could only be described as a poor. A few small bits of chicken, rice, some “meatballs” (I think made of chickpeas) and a bit of salad. The real kicker was the drinks. Knowing alcohol was extra we were happy to pay for a couple of drinks. I asked for a glass of white wine. In fairness they did flash a price at me but it was quick, I was tired and hungry and felt under the pump to make a decision. Added that I had not worked out the conversions, I agreed (this part is totally on me!). What came out was not a glass of white wine but a bottle. After tasting it and having my head blown off, we checked the label to discover it was 36% alcohol content. This was not a bottle of white wine but a bottle of spirits! When we commented on this we were told we should have ordered a “white wine”….thats exactly what I did order! They offered to bring me a glass of wine for free which was perfect but I was still left with a whole bottle of spirits that I had to pay 420 AED for. There is no way they did not know exactly what they were doing and were counting on confusion to get away with it. I understand upselling and essentially don’t have an issue with it but this was blatant robbery as it was not at all what was requested and they knew it. With over 7 hours from pick up to drop off with most of that spent in a car going from one place to the next (2 hours from pick up to quad biking) this was just not worth the time invested and we would have been better going for dinner at a five star restaurant in the city. Needless to say I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone.

10/10 recommend booking this tour. I didn’t know what to expect other than I’d ride a quad in the desert. From the moment my guide, Shaheen, messaged me to confirm pick up to drop off - this tour exceeded any expectations I had. I’m not normally a fan of tours, but this was truly an excursion. We rode the quads through the desert, sand boarded, then took a bumpy ride through the dunes in the SUV. It was amazing… but hold on to the back of the seat. The show is EPIC! The fire dancers were my absolute favorite and the food was amazing. If you’re thinking about it, do it.

Fantastic day out. Quad biking and dune surfing was great fun and the evening entertainment was top notch. Our driver was awesome. Very hot !!!

There was no BBQ or four performances. They picked me up at 2 PM and I was back at the hotel by 6 PM. It wasn't what they promised.

Thanks to Uzair, the desert safari was thrilling and well organized. A truly memorable experience.

Older vehicle, not so friendly driver, and seemingly chaotic arrangements at the barbecue/show place. Two fair shows with a lighting up of a I love Dubai sign being counted as the 3rd. Supposed to have been 4 or 5. Other yours seem to be better equipped, at least from the pics.
