Skillful driver

This was interesting to spend some time doing the basics in the desert with the help of the tour guide. I really liked the dune bashing, that took skill from our driver!

Desert Experience

The Dubai desert safari was an unforgettable experience. From our driver Zahid’s thrilling dune bashing ride to the beautiful sunset views, everything felt unique and exciting. The dinner and live entertainment under the stars made the night feel magical. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai!

Great experience with friends

It was a great experience and good food. We really enjoyed the show, but the weather was colder than expected. Our guide ali was great. He was really enthusiastic and answered all our questions. He really took care of us in the camp and gave us amazing tips. I recommend him for everyone.

Good not great.

Let’s separate the evaluation for the tour and the guide: - Tour itinerary and experience: 3-4 stars - Guide: 5 stars The tour has a first stop (45 min) for quadricycle rental, which was not good because it was too crowded, with unskilled people running across the desert on all directions. Really scary. The second stop was for photo shooting in the dunes after some rally experience. That was nice. Finally, a stop in a camp for Camel ride (too short like 1 min), dinner (ok), falcon photo (extra cost) and typical dance / fire show that was also ok. The one thing that caught me was the over selling (hena tattoos, jewelry, photos, etc.). I’d rather pay more for a more exclusive experience in the camp. The guide in the other hand was very friendly and willing to provide a good experience.

Operator response

Dear, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate your honest insights as they help us improve our experience for future guests. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the dune rally experience and that our guide made your trip special with their friendliness and dedication. Your kind words about their service mean a lot to us! We understand your concerns about the quad biking area and the commercial aspects at the camp. While we strive to offer an exciting and well-rounded experience, we recognize that some aspects, such as the crowd levels and optional activities, may not align with everyone’s preferences. Your suggestion for a more exclusive experience is valuable, and we will certainly take it into account for future improvements. We’d love to welcome you again for a more tailored adventure that better matches your expectations! Best regards, R&S
