Sunset Camel Trekking, Falcon Show & VIP BBQ Dinner

Collected from hotel Ashraf was the perfect guide, numerous and knowledgeable. The camel ride was amazing, the bbq and show were fantastic. Highly recommend this tour !

Fantastic guide very friendly and knowledgeable. Camel ride was an experience and so glad I did this

Very nice 45 minute camel ride, the guide took some great photos and videos. Then onto the belly dancing and fire breathing shows. Very good! Excellent buffet dinner, yummy curries and bbq plus salads and dessert. Our driver Nasir was full of information about Dubai and the UAE. Highly recommend!

We booked this desert safari expecting a relaxed cultural evening with good food and warm hospitality. The desert delivered beautifully, the camp setting was lovely, and the food was genuinely good. The camel ride was a highlight and the camel handler was cheerful and welcoming. The falcon show was also wonderful and the handler clearly cared about both the birds and the guests. The server inside the camp was attentive and kind, which made the experience enjoyable once we arrived. Our guide Ashraf, however, appeared to be on a silent spiritual retreat of his own. Communication was minimal, enthusiasm was carefully rationed, and engagement with guests especially my elderly parents seemed to be an optional add-on not included in our package. He completed all required logistical tasks efficiently but warmth, welcome, or even conversational courtesy were clearly beyond scope that day. Perhaps he was expecting a different demographic and was surprised to find himself hosting my gentle old parents. Whatever the reason, it did feel like we were accompanying him on his commute rather than being guests on a hosted experience. That said, the safari itself was relaxed and enjoyable and the camp team largely redeemed the evening. With a more engaged guide this would easily have been a 5-star experience.

Sunset camel trekking, falcon show & VIP BBQ dinner by Oscar Knight Tours – it was an amazing experience and a wonderful afternoon. Special thanks to our guide and driver Ashraf! He turned a nice desert safari into something extraordinary! Caring, friendly, helpful, and with a great sense of humor. Ashraf met us at the hotel at the agreed time, and on the way to the desert, he thoroughly explained what was going to happen. And everything happened just as he said, and even more. On the way through the desert to the camp, he showed us his driving skills on the sand dunes. Before that, he asked if we were ready for it. Thanks to Ashraf, I had an experience I thought I would never have in my life. It was adrenaline-filled and at the same time fun. Ashraf is definitely the best driver I have ever had in my life! Later, he even drove us while we were riding camels, which shows his special personal and caring attitude. He also took us to the camel pen where we could feed and pet those lovely animals. The dinner at the camp was very tasty, and the performers and fire show were very impressive. Thanks to Ashraf and the whole team for providing an unforgettable experience!

This was an amazing experience with Ashraf serving as our guide. He was attentive, professional and caring. Made a big difference in how we enjoyed this experience. The camels were sweet and adorable and my wife fell in love with them. We want a baby camel. Thank you for a wonderful time Ashraf and team.

Service provider was excellent. As we do not know Dubai, we accidentally gave the wrong pick up address. We were picked up by someone else arranged by the company, and everyone was very accommodating to assist us. Thank you to our guide, he was excellent, with a bubbly personality and very wide general knowledge, not to mention his driving skills

We had a great experience, our captain Uzahir was very helpful and kind, cab came on time and food was very good. Best part was the camel ride which kids enjoyed the most!

We had a fantastic time on our desert tour - our driver, Shabbir if I remember correctly, picked us up very punctually, which was very appreciated! Our drive was smooth and comfortable, though there was an unexpected detour to buy headscarves, which we accepted as part of the experience. Our driver was very knowledgeable on driving in the desert and the best ways to avoid traffic jams, and excellent with our young children and adapting his driving to them - though it was still very exciting in the desert! Once at the camp, we had a great time on the camels, and the guide made sure to get many pictures of us throughout. We loved the opportunity to see the falcon up close and hold it, the kids were able to try an kid friendly version of sandboarding, and we enjoyed the sunset snacks and drinks. When we headed for dinner we had the best seats in the house and loved having our dinner served at the table while we enjoyed the entertainment. The only thing that I did not appreciate was the vendors coming to the table trying to sell their souvenirs, but once we said no to a few at the beginning of the evening, they did not come back. The drive back was exciting through the desert at night, and we got back to the hotel at a good time. All in all a fantastic experience for all of us!

Right on time, completely friendly guide who just wanted us to have the best experience. The attentiveness was great and communication. Only draw back was the pickup time being moved, but we realize the necessity of doing so. Overall, the activities, the service, the experience and the food were great.
