Itinerary
Experience the magic and mystery of an Arabian desert on a 6-hour scenic 4WD tour from Dubai. The safari will give you the golden opportunity to see the towering sand dunes of the desert as you go on a roller coaster ride on board your all-terrain vehicle. Stop at the highest dune to watch a desert sunset and refresh yourself with complimentary mineral water. Back on board, continue the drive to a Bedouin campsite right in the heart of the desert. Here, henna paintings, local costumes and soft drinks, water, tea or coffee are all available for your enjoyment. Climb on the back of a camel and experience the ships of the desert. Puff on a hubbly bubbly (shisha pipe), available in different flavors to suit your taste. Adding to the atmosphere of the night, an enchanting belly dancer will perform an impressive dance to the rhythms of Arabic music. And to top it all, a delicious barbecue buffet dinner will be served under the desert night sky.

Booked online for pick up at hotel (which was listed in a drop down on the website). Operator called the next day stating they wouldn’t pick us up unless we paid another $150USD. or travel to a location 40mins from our hotel. Disgraceful. And trying to get a refund…near on impossible by the looks.
I'm sure it would have been great if only the pickup had proceeded - instead we spent 2 hours sitting in the lobby of our hotel which was a large chunk out of the short time we had in Dubai. No contact from them and no reply to the only number listed
Had a fantastic afternoon /evening in the desert. Our tour guide, Hamib and his faithful chariot “Maria” took us on an adventure which included camel greetings, dune driving and camel riding. As the sun set, he took some innovative, posed romantic photos before leading into the banquet site in the desert camp. What followed included a banquet, modern Arabian dancing, and fire show before wrapping up with belly dancing. Maria then took us back to the motel with a photo opportunity at a mosque on the way. A most enjoyable time due to Hanin’s local knowledge, commentary and enthusiasm.
It was a pleasant and swift experience with Desert Gate from the moment of pickup till the drop later in evening after dinner. Setup was so good with near stage & limited seating arrangement [no overcrowd and mess], Sheesha at the side, Arabic apparels for pictures, Falcon show, Camel Show, Sand Board, Belly Dance, Tanoura Dance etc... Would like to appreciate and mention the Help, Guidance with Politeness provided by Mr. Nisar, he was so confident and fun filled during the trip and activities + timely informing and explaining the stuff around so that we should not miss any. He was cautious and concerned enough for the children in safari car during the dune bashing. Though we were the last leaving the camp after spending considerable time for sand board, he stood with us and helped us with his gesture of support and push for "collect experience and memories"... Staff at stalls, camel guy all were welcoming. Definitely recommend it for better dessert Safari experience.
Good driver wassen. Nice experience camel ride drive in the sand henna food free coffee and tea nice to see the show specially the last show with camels
We were lucky to have Nasir as our driver and guide, he was incredibly experienced, guided us so well and even surprised us with complimentary drinks and family photos! Show was amazing with less crowd. Thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Perfect experiance in the dessert, awesome bbq made with love, nice show-acts at the dessert-camp, very friendly driver (Abdullah Amir)
This was an excellent tour. We were picked up from our hotel where the driver was waiting. Ayaz our driver was so wonderful even accommodated an extra pick up on route. We chose to do a private car which was lovely as a family of 4. Ayaz was a safe confident driver so friendly and full of local knowledge which was so interesting on our drive out of the city into the desert. Dune bashing was fantastic followed by a 20 minute drive back to another location for a falcon show super interesting, camel ride lovely dinner and entertainment. Well organised smooth operation. Can’t rate Ayaz enough as a guide made all the difference
Amazing experience lovely staff we had a fantastic afternoon and our driver was lovely he was so good to my children and very friendly
This desert safari trip has been the highlight of our holiday here in Dubai! The tour was very well organised and our host Bilal was very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He is such an excellent host!!! We loved the dune bashing and quad biking!! We would highly recommend booking this tour if you want to see the authentic side of the UAE.
