Description

Offering you a myriad of unforgettable adventures, our evening desert safari in Abu Dhabi desert let you experience the magical moments of the desert life. Picking you up from your location our driver will take you to the golden desert of Abu Dhabi where all your desert adventures await. Once you enter the desert, there will be all shades of yellows, mind-blowing textures and sand dunes which will explode your mind with thrill and excitement. First on the agenda of our Abu Dhabi Evening desert safari is a wild dune drive where you can drive into majestic dunes bashing sand and creating sand clouds. If your soul longing for a more heart-pounding adventure, you can go sandboarding so you can surf through the silky smooth sand starting from a top of a sand dune. Admire the beauty of these majestic creatures and pet them before you get on one of them to enjoy a camel ride across the desert like a real Bedouin.

I expected more

we expected more because it was presented like that. It says that unlimited shisha is included, but it needs to be paid for. It also said that photography with a falcon was included, but the man wanted to charge us, so we argued and managed to prove that it was included in the price. My friend and a woman who was also on tour with us were very sick while driving on the dunes and threw up, so I suggest that the drivers have vomit bags in their cars to avoid an incident. We did not like the food at all because it was terribly seasoned and the hot dog was not cooked, the chicken was dry. We only had nice salads. Also, don't expect much from camel riding, because we could literally ride a camel for 30 seconds, and you have to pay extra for longer rides. It will be very hot in the desert in the afternoon and very cold at night, so I suggest you bring something long for the evening. Henna on the hands also has to be paid for if you want a larger design, a smaller one that is only on one finger is free. We didn't manage to go sand boarding because there were too many people waiting and we didn't get there because the guide called us to go back. I don't know what else to write, I think that's it, but I was a little disappointed with the overall experience, that's the point.

don't expect to learn anything; make sure you have a car

Overall this company delivered, but not everything was as promised. One day before our reservation we were told that they could not pick us up in Al Ain even though pick-up is included in the ticket price. Luckily we had a car, but we had to use our gas to drive one hour in each direction, and we didn't receive any discount for this inconvenience and expense. In addition, we did not visit a camel farm as promised, nor was there unlimited shisha - you had to pay extra if you wanted more than just a try. Most disappointing was that none of the staff spoke much English, so there was no cultural explanation or educative component to the evening. It was pure entertainment without any accompanying description of what we were experiencing. The staff could barely respond to the simplest of questions; they were obviously not from the Gulf region. We don't regret doing it, but it was overpriced and we felt taken advantage of as tourists.

Great driver Ahmed - very friendly

The dune bashing was fun. Camel was just one only badly trained unresponsive camel. Dinner was okay but not great. Enjoyed the shows of dancer and also twirling dancer. Enjoyed the fire eater/dancer show, he was very skilled.

Dessert Tour

Our tour was very memorable and our driver was amazing! However- we paid for experiences through Viator but we did not receive them or were charged extra at the place. For example- we were told that Henna tattoos were included, but then had to pay for them. I would also be hesitant of camel riding as the camels did not look well taken care of.

Not great. Wouldn’t recommend.

Unlimited Shisha is not true: only starts at 7.30pm at a corner of the compound, far from stage. Everyone has to share. Camel farm is a drive by, we didn’t even get to get out of the car to take photos. BBQ dinner is NOT a buffet, I couldn’t get a second round as the meat has run out: only one per person. Stars are not visible. Camel ride is just 60m walk within the compound. Camel looks badly taken care of. Poor camels. They squeezed 6 passengers in the Car, the 2 seats at the back is VERY uncomfortable. Should not have more than 4 passengers in the car. Sand dune bashing was ok, about 10-15mins only. Stage shows were good.

Desert trip

The location is great and the food is excellent- the people are super nice - but there is too much slow time - this could easily be one hour shorter.
