Dubai VIP Desert Safari : De Nomadentuin & dineren bij JW Marriott

My husband and daughter and I went on this excursion on 15/12/25. It was arranged by Vahe at the Hilton Jumeirah Walk Hotel . I have to say it was a most amazing trip from start to finish. Vahe was most attentive and helpful nothing was too much trouble for him . Zaheez who was our driver /photographer and /guide was most informative and kind and patient . This trip is a must if you are in Dubai and would like a desert sand dune ride experience with first class entertainment and dinner included.

We booked the VIP Desert Safari with Arabian Adventures, and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Dubai! From start to finish, everything was seamlessly organised and incredibly enjoyable. Our tour guide was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more special with great insights and energy throughout the evening. The dune drive was thrilling yet felt completely safe, which let us enjoy the adventure without any worries. The VIP setup was absolutely worth it. We were treated to a private booth with full table service, and the selection of food and unlimited drinks exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented, from the grilled meats to the mezze and desserts. It felt like a true luxury dining experience in the middle of the desert. The entertainment was top-notch—from traditional dancing to fire shows, each performance was exciting and beautifully done, adding so much to the evening’s ambiance. We also loved the camel ride, a must-try part of any desert safari, and a great photo opportunity. A lovely surprise was the small desert market, where we discovered handcrafted items and stunning gold jewellery. It was such a nice, authentic touch and gave us a chance to bring home some truly unique souvenirs. Above all, the service throughout was outstanding. Every staff member was attentive and welcoming, which made the night feel truly special and effortless from start to finish. If you're considering a desert safari while in Dubai, I can't recommend the Arabian Adventures VIP experience enough. It’s the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and comfort—and made for an unforgettable evening under the stars.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience on the desert safari organized by Arabian Adventures in February 2025. Our guide, driver, and host Ismaill was incredibly skilled at dune driving, very kind, and answered all our questions thoroughly. We saw many animals, including desert antelopes and oryxes. The sunset aperitif with a glass of prosecco was relaxing and breathtaking. The barbecue dinner with live entertainment was top-notch — a private table for us, elegant table settings, and delicious, abundant dishes. The show was captivating, and my wife even got a beautiful henna tattoo from a talented artist. Everything was high-quality and relaxing. Well done, and kudos to Ismaill!

Amazing service and the dune rides were great. Our guide Arjun took such great care of us. Went above and beyond our expectations. A time to remember for sure .

We had an amazing experience with Arabian Adventures which was made extra special by our wonderful driver Babar. We did the VIP private car experience with sandboarding, camel ride and drinks at sunset however we opted out of the bbq evening as we didn’t want to be too late for our young boys and had other dinner plans. We went with our 2 sons who are 6 and 2. A car seat and booster seat were provided for each child and immediately our driver Babar was extremely helpful, knowledgeable of the local area, friendly and also extremely funny. Our little boy woke up as we entered the desert and was very unsure at first of driving up the big sand dunes whereas our eldest was loving it. Babar immediately recognised our youngest wasn’t enjoying it too much and therefore took a much more gentle route through the desert which everyone appreciated to be honest! The camel ride was a brilliant experience for the family and we got some great photos with Babar’s help of course who was more than willing to help at every opportunity. Sandboarding was great fun and great exercise at the same time! And then to watch the sunset with an apérol spritz whilst the boys had soft drinks and played in the sand was a very special experience and a memory we will never forget! Again Babar made the experience for us and his knowledge of the area and the desert is unmatched as he’s one of the longest serving members of the company. I would highly recommend to anyone to take the private car experience if you can and if you ask for Babar then you’ll no doubt have an amazing time!

We had the BEST guide in the world!!! BOKJHARI took excellent care of us. We had a sand dune ride (thrilling), photo shoot (fabulous), camel ride - thankyou Ali, and a beautiful BBQ dinner. He was the best tour guide, driver, photographer and chef! Our trip to Dubai would not have been complete without him and this amazing adventure! - California Crew

I had such an amazing time during this desert safari! It was one of my favorite days during all of my years of travel, which says a lot! I was SO sad when it was over and wished I could do it all over again. Aside from all of the technical aspects, it was an amazing experience because of the lovely people with us. I want to give a HUGE shout out to Sher who was our guide and captain for the day. He has been doing this for over 15 YEARS and had the excitement of someone who was doing this tour, for their first time. Aside from that, Sher was so sweet and accommodating, he was knowledgeable, professional, and so wonderful at this. I don't have enough kind words in my vocabulary for how great he was. I will always think about my time in Dubai and think of the time I spent with him!! Additional highlight for our man Abdul who helped us with our camel rides who was such a fun part of our time there. He was so patient, funny, and helped us with just about anything we would ask. He was so great with his role, connecting with immediately, and making us feel comfortable, that we often reference him when we talk about our time in Dubai. Lastly, wanted to highlight all of the rest of the tour guides, every single person was fun to interact with, they kept it lively, upbeat, and were so timely and professional. I don't have a single complaint, other than wishing I could have been there again with our camp for another day! Also wanted to include Brawn who was the reason that we booked our trip! He was so great at answering every single question and helping us book not only one, but two experiences with your company

This is my 6th time booking with Arabian Adventures for our dessert safari experience! this travel agency never fail to amaze me! our driver kamran made sure that our VIP experience was worth it! 🫶

We had an amazing experience. We were picked up on time and the whole tour was well planned and organized. Amazing dune ride, falcon show and amazing food. Me and my family were thrilled with this experience. Miryam was amazing. Even thou the trip was full, she helped book the ticket at the last minute. She also gave enough information about the trip. Without her, the trip was not possible. Great thanx to her. Our tour guide Arjun was amazing. He was super energetic and made us feel comfortable. He was always with us and took care of everything from picking up, driving, getting food, etc. I will highly recommend this to everyone. We had a great and wonderful evening.

This is the 2nd time we visit Dubai. Since we have done a multiple times of desert safari in another locations, desert safari in Dubai was actually not on our "to do" list. However after hearing many positive experiences, we have decided to add a Dubai desert safari to our program. However, I was warned that there are numerous companies in Dubai who are providing safari trips and there are numerous camps who are providing evening meals and entertainment. Therefore, some research before booking is needed. Thanks to the reviews on tripadvisor, I could get a brief idea of how the popular tour providers work. By focussing on 1 or 2 star rating and the photos shared by the reviewers, I also got a good idea what we don't want. After 3 evenings of research, I came to the conclusion that we should book the VIP desert safari of Arabian Adventures. And we are so glad we did! Everything was perfectly arranged and very small scale; from the pick up from our hotel until the drop off. Our driver Sarfaraz is a very experienced driver and also informative. He has taken good care of us during the trip and also made many photos for us. Our dune bashing and camp were in a nature reserve. No dune bashing and sunset jam. No waiting time for activities. We were just in total of a group of 5 cars. It was such a privileged experience. The location for watching the sunset was awesome, same as the camp for our 3 course served meal on the table. Marvelous experience! Really highly recommended!
