Description
Leave Dubai city and travel into the desert. Head off road into dunes and, with a trained driver at the helm, enjoy a dune bash. Carve up the dunes and hold tight as your 4WD slips back down. After a sunset photo stop, try out sandboarding. Grab a supplied board and feel the thrill of surfing down high dunes. Then, continue to a Bedouin-inspired tented camp, where Arabic coffee and sweets await. Duly refreshed, take your pick from the activities on offer: ride a camel, wear Arabic robes for souvenir photos, get a henna tattoo, or enjoy an optional water pipe (shisha). Alternatively, up the pace by renting a dune buggy or quad bike (additional cost) to zoom over the sands. Finally, enjoy a barbecue buffet and watch belly dancing, fire, and Whirling Dervish (tanoura) performances before your outing ends with a hotel drop-off.

Awesome Experience
Ali os very good tourist guide. desert safari was good experience. Thank you Arabian tours
Y
Safari
Pros: excellent guide, punctual, took my request into account, drove carefully. Quad biking was a lot of fun (250 dirhams) The tour cost 130 dirhams for two - a good price for this adventure. Disadvantages: very few people drive jeeps on the dunes, less than 5 minutes. They didn't let us take photos in the desert while we were climbing the mountain for photos; a jeep arrived, and we couldn't take a single photo. You can't call a desert a desert, it has bushes and trees. There are no promised golden dunes. Waiting a very long time for the show and dinner, about 1.5 hours. The VIP area is paid at 50 dirhams per person, but there is Wi-Fi and dinner a little earlier. I recommend the tour

Worth every penny thanks to our guide Zahid
Zahid, was fantastic from beginning to end; friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the entire trip. The desert drive was exciting and definitely one of the highlights of our Dubai visit. Zahid made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe while still making the experience fun and memorable. The camel ride was a great addition and gave us a chance to really enjoy the desert atmosphere. The evening entertainment and BBQ buffet were also enjoyable and completed the experience perfectly. Everything was well organized, and the whole trip was definitely worth it. A big thank you to Zahid for making our desert safari such a memorable experience—highly recommended! P.S. We lost our phone during the trip, and Zahid immediately made sure we went back to the place where we had left it. Fortunately, we were able to find it and get it back.
