had a terrible experience with this tour in Dubai
I had a terrible experience with this tour in Dubai. The food quality was very poor, there was no hospitality, and the staff were extremely arrogant and unhelpful."

To flee
The most horrible excursion I could make! I saw nothing of the desert and the driver was rather mean and aggressive. I complained to the tourist agency and they didn’t even reply. Run away.

I would like to share with you my very bad experience with customer service at . I encountered many problems within just an hour of being there. First, the driver refused to let me sit in the front seat, claiming that the computer was on the seat. He showed no desire to help me or find an alternative solution. Secondly, the food was completely inedible. It looked like dog food, and didn't taste normal. Third, the workers were yelling at each other in a disgusting way, which created a very annoying environment. Fourth, the place was very dirty, and the tables or floors were not cleaned. Fifth, the offers were very poor, and were not worth the price. Overall, my experience at was very bad. I do not recommend anyone to visit this place, and I will not return to it again
