Meeting Camels for the First Time
The experience was incredible. We loved the food, the excellent customer service, and I was fascinated by the camel ride. Our guide, Arif, was very respectful and kind. The show was also very interesting. We greatly appreciate the staff's efforts.

Fantastic experience in the desert of Dubai
We had an excellent experience from start to finish. The pickup was punctual and well organized, and our guide was very professional, friendly and always attentive to the comfort and safety of everyone. The tour of the dunes was exciting and very fun, without failing to convey confidence. The whole program was well organized, and the barbecue dinner was a great way to finish the experience. Excellent quality/price ratio. I recommend Skyland Tourism to anyone who wants to experience a complete and memorable experience in the desert of Dubai.

Desert Safari Review
Great experience with a great host. It was a well organized tour and unforgettable experience. The car was clean and the driver was knowledgeable and very experienced.
Y
Decent experience but be ready to spend beyond the tour cost
Great flexibility offered (e.g., was able to book it 30 mins before departure time VS in US you need to do at least few hours ago) However overall experience at site was pretty average. The BBQ dinner is very much rationed at 3 BBQ per person, same thing with starters. And expect everything at extra charge - fried corn, seating at decent spot - and exorbitant charge really. A beer costed 50 Aed, that’s pricier than US. I anticipate other tours are same. I rated 3 vs 4 as I had done dune bashing and others before, and the experience wasn’t great even when we exclude all the extra charges above. The camel ride is literally 10 meters or camel walk and that’s it. Dune bashing happens for 15-20 mins Rest all time is sitting at a place for shows and eating, and except the very basic, everything comes for an extra charge

Dessert safari dubai
Had a great time at the safari. Zafar was our driver and we opted for a private car. It was a brilliant day. Zafar was excellent from start to finish and a great personality.
C
Exciting dunebashing, great guide Zafar and good food.
We enjoyed the tour, with the great guide Zafar. Amazing dunebashing in the desert in Sharjah, and entertainment in the desert in Dubai. The cameldriving, dune surfing and the shows were good enough, and the bbq was good with nice local specialties. When the car was stuck in the desert, Zafar solved it quickly. We had a great time and would highly recommand this tour.

Sunset dune bashing
Said was very kind despite my tardiness, he was always helpful and made us feel safe. The food at the camp site was way too much, but I’m happy if the remaining untouched food goes to the community. Thanks for the experience!

A great and adventurous Safari for our family
Said was an amazing guide and he was giving us many information and tips applied to Dubai. We had so much fun at the Safari. The kids loved it. One of our best days in Dubai. Thanks so much.
