Description

This tour takes you to the desert of Dubai, driving across beautiful sand dunes. From the high dunes, you witness the golden sunset as the sun sheds its blaze over the desert. The hustle and bustle of the city are far away and you can enjoy the peaceful silence and tranquility around you. Mesmerized by the magnificent view, you move on to an enchanting Arabian night reaching the traditional Arabic camp. The BBQ dinner is served in a torch-lit environment, setting the right atmosphere for the talented belly dancer performing to the rhythm of Arabic music underneath a star-covered sky. You can also experiment with intricate henna tattoos as you comfortably relax in the Bedu tents, and can also choose to adventure on a short camel ride, or if you prefer trying the aromatic shisha.

Desert Safari with our 2-year-old daughter – an unforgettable adventure with Travco Travel and

We booked a desert safari in Dubai through TUI, operated by Travco Travel UAE – and it was simply unforgettable! Our driver Ahmad was fantastic: He not only drove us safely through the dunes, but also provided great entertainment. We were particularly impressed by how warm and attentive he was to our two-year-old daughter – she too had a great time! The value for money was absolutely top, the traditional dinner in the desert completed the day perfectly. It was one of the most beautiful days of my life – an experience we will never forget. Many thanks to the whole team and especially Ahmad for this unique experience!

Operator response

It’s heartwarming to know that Ahmad made a positive impression and that your little one also enjoyed the adventure—those moments make all the difference. We will surely pass along your kind words to Ahmad and the rest of the team. Your satisfaction and joy mean the world to us, and we're so glad we could be part of one of the most beautiful days of your life. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable journey!

Shabir the superstar

We come to Dubai every year and this is one thing we have never done before, we booked with the Tui rep in our hotel at a sensible price and wow, the driver messaged us with an exact collection time he arrived and was amazing from the second we met his name Shabir he is friendly and hilarious, one of those people in the perfect job, super skilled in the crazy desert dune bashing all the time making us laugh, he then explained about local sights and animals we got to see camel racing track, traditional dancing lovely food a perfect afternoon and evening, just beware of the add ons such as the head scarf which looked free but were expensive once on your head Top tip ask for Shabir he is a star

Operator response

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience with Shabir and enjoyed the desert adventure. It sounds like he truly made your trip special and we'll be sure to pass your kind words along to him. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dubai.

High prices should absolutely be avoided and they do not respect what they sponsor

Fantastic experience with a friendly driver 👍

We went on a desert safari trip, collected from the hotel @ 3.30 driven to see some camel 🐪 racing, then driven to the national park. The driver lowered the tyre pressures for extra grip, then we set off like a rocket 🚀 We drove around with various stops for around 30 minutes, we were drifting and side slipping the dunes, the driver seemed to know where he was going, we were flying over blind crests and sliding down the other side. We then went to a camp with camel riding, sand surfing and BBQ, there was a belly dancer plus a guy dancing. Nice food, they then take you back to the hotel. Wow is all I can say, what a great time we had. Well worth the money, 110% recommended this trip.

Friendly and exotic

Start to the desert with 1st stop in front of camel racetrack, but no races!! Then continue to the desert, reserve gazelles and oryx, saw only 2 animals. Then race in the dunes with the other 4x4, photos with sunset then camp for dinner. Welcoming very friendly and good child, hearty buffet, dervish dance and beautiful oriental dance. Back at night in the dunes, very heckled then reinflated and back to Dubai. Nice outing
