Great overnight desert safari experience in Abu Dhabi with Emirates Tours and Safaris - Our family of 4 (2 children aged 8) had a fabulous time and all the experiences were as advertised. Our guide Abdul rasheed was very attentive from pick up to drop off, and made us feel very safe throughout the trip, including the adrenaline-filled dunes bashing! Staff at the camp was also attentive and polite, with comfortable accommodation and good food. There were only a handful of fellow tourists staying overnight, which meant we had a more intimate experience and could enjoy the sunrise with no crowds. Highly recommended!

A memorable stay under the stars - We had the perfect weather for our trip, and it only got better when Farook came to pick us up. He was exceptionally helpful and kind, making us feel welcome right from the start. He even assisted us in taking pictures, ensuring we captured every memorable moment. The place itself was delightful, with fantastic Arabic entertainment that truly enhanced our cultural experience. Aside from our wonderful time together, we enjoyed all the activities promised in the package: the safari, sandboarding, and camel riding were highlights of our adventure. After all the guests departed, we were left with just the serene surroundings, making it a peaceful night under the stars by the campfire. Farook stayed at the campsite with us and generously provided plenty of wood for the fire, which allowed us to enjoy our time even more. The experience was so enjoyable that we woke up early to witness the stunning sunrise. Breakfast was light but comprehensive, providing just the right start to our day. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend!

Amazing overnight safari tour - We are a family of four joining the overnight safari tour on 13 DEC. All activities were the same as mentioned in the description of the advertisement. We really enjoyed the exciting sand bashing and interesting sandboarding. Especially special thanks to our experienced and responsible guide Mr. Abdul Rasheed. He took good cares of us during the whole trip. He could took beautiful photos, and demonstrate us the technique of shisha smoking. It was quite funny and memorable. The camp site is new and clean. We enjoyed the stargazing at night and the beautiful sunrise on the sand. Rasheed took many amazing photos for us with the background of sunrise. We will recommend everyone to join the overnight safari. Luckily you have Rasheed to be your guide to make the trip perfect.

Magical night in the desert - The overnight desert safari was enriching, adventurous and totally worth it. I went there with my family including my 4-years old daughter and all of us had a great time (she enjoyed the sand dashing as much as the adults). Our guide Abdul Rasheed took excellent care about us and he made sure we enjoy every moment of our experience. If you plan this amazing experience, I fully recommend Abdul and Emirrates Tour. Great staff, top entertainment and lasting memories.

Overnight and Two-Day Desert Camp - abdul rasheed was very friendly and entertained us through the tour. The following pick-up was a little delayed, but it was even more kind than that and didn't bother me at all. They dropped us off at a place we designated on our way back, which was very helpful. Dance shows, sunsets, sunrises, starry skies and BBQs are all worth more than the price.
