Good but not completely worth for month
The over all experience was good expect the shows. During shown even after paying a good premium package. They are providing a far tablets which is really not expected / worth for the money.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that your overall experience was good. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced during the shows. During the peak December season, we accommodate a large number of guests, which can sometimes impact the availability of certain amenities. However, we understand that after opting for a premium package, the tables provided did not meet your expectations, and this is not the experience we strive to deliver.
Your feedback is very important to us and has been shared with the concerned team so we can work on improving this aspect of our service. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again for an even better experience in the future.

Desert safari with a baby
We searched for a desert tour which was baby friendly and found it on instagram. Mr. Ibrahim catered to all our needs perfectly. Really enjoyed it.

We did the desert safari during our honeymoon and it was absolutely amazing! Our guide Ibrahim was super friendly and made the whole day unforgettable.
We loved the quad biking, tried sandboarding (so fun!), and the camel ride at sunset was pure magic. The evening camp was beautiful – great vibes, tasty buffet dinner, and awesome live shows.
It was the perfect mix of adventure and romance. Big thanks to Ibrahim for all the care and great photos! Definitely a must-do in Dubai.

Perfect from A(pickup) to Z(return)
In summary: An absolutely perfect experience.
Ibrahim came to pick us up at the hotel at the agreed time. A short delay (congestion is not uncommon in Dubai) has already been announced via WhatsApp. For us, however, no problem at all, as we actually wanted to leave a little later anyway. On the way to the desert we got a lot of information about Dubai. At the desert entrance we stopped briefly for tea and samsosas - really fantastic. After that we went to the quad bike (our 5 year old giant had fun) and then into the desert. The dune bashing was very moderate for us - here Ibrahim took very great consideration. In general, we felt very safe with him at all times and his dealings with us and our children were extremely pleasant. You can clearly feel his experience over the last few years. Even in the camp at the BBQ he supported us and organized a table in the front row to the stage.
Last but not least, you have to praise his skills as a photographer/videographer. The photos and videos he took and edited of us are world class.
If we do a desert tour again it will definitely be with Ibrahim again. We also pass on the positive experience to friends and acquaintances.
Thank you for the wonderful day!

Ein großes Dankeschön auch an Ibrahim – wir sind stolz, solch einen engagierten und erfahrenen Guide im Team zu haben. Es ist schön zu wissen, dass Sie sich mit Ihrer Familie jederzeit sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt haben. Besonders freut uns auch, dass die kleinen Details wie die Fotos, das BBQ und die Kinderfreundlichkeit so positiv aufgefallen sind.
Wir würden uns sehr freuen, Sie bald wieder bei einer weiteren Wüstentour begrüßen zu dürfen – natürlich wieder mit Ibrahim!
