Very nice experience in the desert!
We spent a great afternoon in the desert. Pick-up directly from our home is very convenient. The buggy activity was amazing, especially for the first time!
The only small negative point is the waiting time between the activity and the second part, which was a bit long, and the lack of clarity on how the next part will proceed.
On the other hand, the end of the experience was really great: the camp was great, with free activities included in the booking (henna, show) and a delicious meal.
Overall, a very good experience that I recommend

Fantastic adventure with the great guide Ismail
We had an absolutely amazing experience with the Red Dune desert adventure! From start to finish, it was a perfect 10/10. The dune buggy ride was thrilling, and the breathtaking views of the desert made it even more memorable. The camel ride was a unique and fun experience, and the BBQ buffet dinner was delicious with plenty of options for everyone. The shows were entertaining and added to the overall ambiance of the evening.
A special shout-out to our guide, Ismail, who truly made this experience unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating information about Dubai, local culture, and fun facts that added so much value to the trip. Ismail’s friendly and professional approach made us feel comfortable and well cared for throughout the day.
If you’re looking for an adventure in Dubai, we can’t recommend this enough. It’s an experience we’ll treasure forever!

A must do on a Dubai trip.
Everything was great from the hotel pickup to the dinner in the desert. The driver was very helpful in offering info about the surrounding areas as we made our way to the Dune buggy location. The equipment was in great condition and operated well and the dinner and show was cool.
