The 4-hour excursion is fine. They pick you up from the hotel very punctual and take you 1h away to the desert. Our guide Hassan very good and adapting to what we wanted. We had asked for a quad bike ride but when you arrive what you have been offered is in a delimited area with no dunes... a bit boring. For AED 100 per person you have the excursion through the dunes that is a thousand times better. Then with the 4x4 and Hassan has taken us x through the dunes and it has been a lot of fun, even sandboarding. It's worth it because you do it in the morning and then you have all day to be enjoying Dubai
Dear Eva, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Dubai Desert Safari. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your morning desert adventure and that Hassan made your experience so memorable with his friendly attitude and personalized service. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the quad bike experience. We understand your point, and we'd like to clarify that the standard quad ride takes place in a designated safety area, while the guided dune quad adventure is an optional upgrade for guests looking for a more adventurous experience. Your comments help future travelers better understand the available options. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the dune bashing, sandboarding, and the convenience of finishing early enough to make the most of the rest of your day in Dubai. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable desert adventure soon! Best regards, Dubai Desert Safari Team
An absolutely unforgettable experience — without a doubt the highlight of our trip to Dubai! Our guide, Hassan, was amazing from start to finish. Friendly, professional, and an incredible driver — the dune bashing was thrilling but always felt safe and in control. He truly went the extra mile to make the experience special for us. At one point he even played Icelandic music in the car just for us — such a thoughtful, personal touch that made the whole trip feel unique and memorable. The show at the camp was unforgettable, and the entire evening — from camel rides and henna to shisha, BBQ dinner, and live performances — was beautifully organized. Honestly the best value of our whole holiday. We got so much out of this experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai. If you can, ask for Hassan — he made it exceptional!

We decided to go on a desert safari at 2pm and couldn’t find a company that wasn’t booking only for tomorrow. Luckily we found a company that would book us same day and within the hour the 5 of us had been picked up from our apartment block. The tour was well organised and involved 3 different locations. Our driver Sana was great and made us feel relaxed and informed. The evening food was plentiful and the dance show was surprisingly great, especially the fire dancers. I’d highly recommend this tour. It was a great last minute decision.
