The best desert Safari in UAE - This is the best desert safari I’ve been here in the UAE. There is a lot of activities and our guide Abdul Rasheed is so accommodating and friendly. He made everything easy for us. We had a nice evening as well and the show is fantastic and the buffet food taste really good. They have a clean and they have complete facilities. We enjoy the sunrise. We had an amazing breakfast in the morning prepared by Abdul Rasheed. Kudos to you. I will definitely recommend the overnight desert safari with Emirates Tours and Safari.

Fun adventure with the Dunes - We are a group of 7 to do an Overnight in the desert, a package we got from Klook; and we manage to fit at our own liking on the car provided. From the pickup to getting home seems all are activity since the pickup car is the one used also for the dunes bashing. Our driver Abdul Rasheed is so accommodating for all our activities- dunes bashing, camel farm visit, camel riding, sand boarding, the buffet dinner (satisfying), performances, star gazing, and especially our accommodation for the night, up to the prepared breakfast the next day. Even our special request for a camel birthday post for a friend were also done very nicely! Rasheed is a recommended tour guide also. He can be approached easily. Thank you Klook and Rasheed. The group had made core memories.

From Sunset to Sunrise and Abdul Rasheed - The overnight desert safari in Abu Dhabi was an incredible experience that combined adventure, culture, and natural beauty. The stunning views of the endless sand dunes at sunset set the tone for an unforgettable trip. From thrilling dune bashing to serene camel rides, every activity was well-organized and exciting. Abdul Rasheed was an absolute gem! He has this good driving skills making our sand bashing very memorable. His warm hospitality and attentiveness ensured we were always comfortable and well cared for. Whether it was accommodating our special requests or sharing fascinating insights about the desert and its traditions, Abdul Rasheed truly elevated the experience. One of the highlights was waking up early to watch the sunrise over the tranquil desert—a sight that left us in awe. The serene beauty of the morning was complemented perfectly by a hearty breakfast, which was both delicious and refreshing. The starlit night, complete with a mouthwatering BBQ dinner and mesmerizing traditional performances, was the cherry on top of this incredible adventure. If you're ever in Abu Dhabi, this is a must-do experience!

Awesome experience and great hospitality by Mr Hakim - It was an amazing trip and our marshal Hakim picked us from the hotel on time in a Land Cruiser and took us to desert and gave us an amazing sand duning experience. He stayed with us over night in the desert and ensured our needs were well taken care of. He also arranged for Shisha in the desert and next morning dropped us to Louvre Museum on our request. Overall a great experience that I will recommend.

Friendly guide who makes you feels like home! - Abdul is an experienced guide who made it feel comfortable for this trip. Before arrival, he messaged me to confirm the arrival time and pick us at the hotel. Whilst travelling to desert base camp, Abdul shares his life and Arabic cultural to keep us engaged for an hour drive. Before we arrived the desert, we stopped by the camel farm and met few adorable camels. Abdul has been helping us to take as many photos as we want. Abdul did an amazing job for the dune bashing, and ensure we felt comfortable and calm for the drive. We arrived the base camp just before 7, and managed to catch the sunset. After the sunset, the tour guide arranged Arabic buffet for us and entertainment with different Arabic dances which was very enjoyable! Once the show is ended, we were the only guests staying for the night which Abdul brought us to another dune for another 30 mins sky glazing. It was one of the most unforgettable experience in my life. When we returned back to base camp, Abdul already arranged the campsite for us to stay and the space was very cosy. The only downside is the temperature where it dropped below 10degC at night but we expected the cold. After one night camping in desert, we woke up around 6.30am to see the sunrise from top of the dune. Since we were the only guest in the desert, we have tried sandboarding as long as we can. After the sandboarding, Abdul prepared a continental breakfast for us to ensure we have a great start before returning to the hotel. Overall the experience is amazing and Abdul is very accommodating in every aspect to keep us comfortable! I highly recommended this trip and Abdul as the best tour guide!

Friendly guide who makes you feel like home - Our guide is Abdul who is the only guide throughout this trip. He took care of everything to make sure we enjoy the trip! On the day, Abdul messaged us to confirm the pickup location and time. Whilst we travel to the base camp, we stopped by the camel farm and did few dune bashing across the desert. Throughout the drive, he made sure we are comfortable with the drive and stopped if needed. We arrived the camp just before the sunset, we got the chance to do camel ride. Once the food is ready, we had a delicious buffet with wide range of grilled meat. The show was fun where the locals showed their dance and finished with star glazing. As we were the only guest of the night, Abdul took us out for a quiet location where he allowed us to spend another 30 mins star glazing with no light nearby! We camped at the base camp where Abdul already prepared for us! There is pretty of space for 2 of us. We woke up around 6.30 am where we prepared for the sunset, and it was just outside the base camp. Abdul prepared continental breakfast for us before we return back to the hotel. This tour is unforgettable and we miss every moment for it. Abdul has done a great job to ensure we are comfortable the whole day. He also shared lots of useful information while staying in UAE such as local food market and good tourist location! I hope anyone joining this tour will meet this friendly local guide!
