Overnight stay

What an amazing trip! The dune bashing was a lot fun, food was excellent and the location was beautiful! We were fortunate to have Khalid as our guide and I can’t say enough about how knowledgeable he was about the desert, its wildlife and fauna. This made the trip unforgettable for us! Khalid took care of us like family from the moment he picked us up till he dropped us off. We would highly recommend this trip and especially Khalid! We wish that we could have stayed 2 or 3 days instead of just one!

Wonderful overnight desert experience

We had an overnight Safari and it was exactly what we expected. An opportunity to disconnect and relax in nature. The service was super and very personal and the facilities were exactly what is needed. The place is perfect for a slow evening as a couple or with friends in a very private setting. We would definitely do it again. Arjun was an excellent camp leader from driving us through the dunes expertly to supervising the dinner and amenities on site.

Operator response

Hello oftripsandtales, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It is most appreciated, and we will be sure to pass this on to the team. Our adventure expert Arjun will be pleased to read your review. We look forward to welcoming you on a tour or safari again soon. Best regards Customer Service Team

Desert safari with overnight stay in camp. An unforgettable experience

We had booked this beautiful trip through Aida. Our expectations were exceeded. We were 3 couples who had never seen each other before. We started with 2 jeeps. A city tour with plenty of information past the presidential palace and camel racetrack or camel hospital has been very interesting. Our driver Uday had a lot to tell us. Once in the desert we were very surprised by the abundant wildlife. We will remember the fast-paced drive over the dunes for a long time to come, it was a lot of fun After sandboarding and camel riding at sunset we went to camp.We were greeted with Arabic coffee. Our tent for the night was large, clean and everything available you needed. Uday was not only a great driver but also an outstanding cook along with the other drivers. In the starry sky we spent a beautiful Arabian evening, whoever wanted was even allowed to smoke a hookah. At sunrise we were awakened again. After breakfast we went back to the ship. Conclusion: An unforgettable experience and highly recommended. Thanks Uday and team

Something Everyone Should Do

Our driver Bughari was a scholar and gentleman. He drove so peacefully on the roads.... And then he showed his skills in the desert. WOW! It was a rollercoaster ride that was something quite spectacular. And if driving and being one of the nicest hospitable people we have met here in Dubai wasn't enough, he also had a very keen eye for photography and took some fantastic shots of us both. And then we had to ride a camel into camp... Bubbly was the camels name. The camp itself was clean, comfortable and peaceful. You don't just get a glass of wine on arrival, you get the bottle, and as many as you can consume. And we did!! Bed was comfy, the toilets were clean and the atmosphere was amazing. For a brief moment, we forgot we were in Dubai. Aside from stating the obvious (you have to do this overnight camping), WHEN you book, request Bughari as the experience will increased 10-fold. We will do it again!

I have booked an overnight safari as a gift for my fiancé, and it was the best gift ever says he. We really enjoyed this peaceful experience, the staff were really friendly and provide a wonderful private experience. Our tour guide Bukhari was a very professional person and friendly. He was really dedicated to make it a special experience for us from the his brilliant dune bashing drive, to taking his time to take a memorable pictures for us to explaining the culture and the history of the Bedouin. The dinner, the tent, the atmosphere and the service were top. I would definitely recommend.

A must do experience!

Having lived in Dubai for 7 years this was my first time with Arabian adventures and going on an organised excursion. I had some friends visiting and I reluctantly booked for 6 people for the overnight safari. I say reluctantly, because I thought it was going to be overly touristy, large crowds and uncomfortable. The reality was that it was the opposite. The experience was very serene with a small group of guests, the experience was personalised and the tents extremely comfortable with proper beds and crisp white linen. The food and drinks were great quality and generous. Our guide was Faisel and he was the highlight of our trip, he is true professional. Faisel was very knowledgeable, funny and customer centric. It was so apparent that he was on a mission to ensure that we had the best time possible. If you are visiting in Dubai, cancel one of you hotel nights and do the overnight camping trip - you won’t regret it!

Favorite Memory of our most recent trip to Dubai

My family and I did the overnight desert safari with Arabian Adventures. We'd been wanting to do this for a long time. It was such a joy. Our tour guide (Uday) and his colleagues were really accomodating. Upon request vegeterian food was provided without any problems for my mom and me. On our drive to the desert our tour guide shared a lot of knowledge about Dubai (about the culture, the religion, the nature, ...). We've been coming to Dubai for more than 20 years and still learned so many new things. In the camp all of the tour guides did their best to make sure all of the participants were comfortable and well taken care of. Despite some linguistic challenges with the other participants Wajib (another tour guide) succeeded in getting people together and nevertheless interacted easily with all of the participants. It was truly a lovely trip to the desert. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see more of Dubai than what the city seems to have to offer at first glance. Thank you so much!

best thing to do in Dubai

This was amazing. Our host was the best tour guide ever, very friendly and entertaining and was doing everything to make this experience special. We loved the quality of the whole tour. The tent was of very high quality, the bed was more comfortable than in our 4 star hotel, driving through dunes was an adventure, riding a camel in sunset was very romantic, we got a very good breakfast and dinner and there was even a shower at the camp ground! I would totally recommend this experience and can't imagine how this could be better. Also we got some individual experiences like walking through the desert at night with our tour guide or watching the sun rise which was just amazing.
