Great experience in the desert - My fiancé and I had a great experience. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. The dune bashing was thrilling and so much fun, we were delighted by the events in the camp, especially the fire entertainer. The sunset was beautiful like only the desert can show. Hakeem was our marshal, a great driver and a very nice host. I recommend this experience.

A beautiful night beneath the stars - Our tour guide was Abdul Rasheed. The tour began with prompt pickup from our AD hotel. The included and additional activities available to us were all as described in the tour details. Along our drive to the desert, Abdul was an informative guide sharing a great of information with us about the history of the UAE as well as sharing personal anecdotes of his experiences living in the region. First, were photos atop one of the dunes as we entered the desert area. We were the first group to arrive, so had ample time to pose, and pose, and pose again :). Next, as the full group of 20 cruisers prepared to begin the dune bashing, our guide stopped and ensured that we had fastened our seatbelts and were in fact ready to go. 3, 2, 1, and off we went - up, down, and round we navigated the sand dunes. Exhilarating, even as someone who had done this before. We stopped at various points along the way to watch the other land cruisers maneuver the dunes and captured some fun footage along the way. When we arrived at the campsite and had placed our bags down at a table for dinner/dinner show, we first walked over to the camel ride area and joined the short queue. There were two of us so we each climbed on our own camel and began the short lap around the area. Ample time to have Abdul assist the primary photographer with capturing our experiences with memorable photographic evidence. After we dismounted, we observed some of the other guests making their way up one of the dunes with boards for sand boarding. Looked like lots of fun but we ultimately did not participate in this activity. Then we went back into camp and grabbed some snacks (tea, coffee, soft drinks, falafel treats - so tasty) and walked around the area until we decided to join the henna tattoo line. Abdul periodically checked on us to ensure we were comfortable and settling in. Dinner service began minutes after 6pm and we joined the buffet queue. We moved quickly through having our pick of dinner options then returning to our seating area to eat before the show began around 6.30. Soft drinks/tea/coffee continued to be readily available throughout the evening. There were 3 parts to the dinner show - belly dancing, a light show, and a fire show. All excellent and included fun audience engagement - clapping and cheering and a few audience members joining the performers on stage. Shisha smoking was available throughout the evening. After the dinner show ended, we were invited to participate in star gazing. The lights were all switched off and we became horizontal to look up at the night sky. Was nice to lay under the stars away from the city’s artificial light pollution. Soon after this, the other guests’ evening came to an end and they all packed up to return to their respective vehicles and depart the campsite. Turned out that we were the only two guests which opted for an overnight experience; we had no idea until the campsite had emptied. As the other guests walked out to their vehicles, we moved our bags over into the Bedouin tent in which we would ultimately spend the night. Our guide left briefly to grab a few things, and once he returned, we climbed up a hill immediately outside the campsite to do some additional stargazing and take some photos together. We had the camp area all to ourselves outside of a few staff members which looked after the camp and the camels. Once back inside, our sleeping area was set up by Abdul and not long after that, we settled in for the night, leaving the tent open so that we could view the bright full moon beaming down on us. During the night, we slept with minimal disruption; it was a special experience to sleep beneath the stars. In the morning, we arose early for sunrise viewing. After a quick hike up a surrounding dune, we arrived at our desired viewing spot and got comfortable to await the sun’s appearance. On this morning, the morning mist/fog deceived us into thinking that we would not be successful, but patience atop the dune provided for some beautiful sights once the sun eventually began to break through the mist. It was quick to rise, like something out of movie. Beautiful and awe inspiring to experience nature at work. Abdul then beckoned us to the breakfast nook where we met a full spread of food & drink item including tea, coffee, traditional Arabic tea, juice, bread, eggs, wieners, various fruits, jam & honey, and some biscuits. We ate to our hearts’ content and relaxed for a while before packing up to depart the campsite. Abdul drove us back into the city, returning us back at our hotel. All in all, a special series of experiences to kick off our first night of the trip. Thank you for a memorable evening Abdul and the rest of the Emirates Tours group! We highly recommend others to share in this experience!

Unique and Great Experience - We had so much fun. The guide Abdul Rasheed was very friendly and approachable. He made sure that we were always safe and comfortable. Activities and food were excellent. Will definitely recommend emirates tours and our guide Mr. Rasheed.

Desert Experience - An amazing experience overall! From the beginning, they were very helpful with organising our trip (our bank cards did not work), and this treatment continued during our safari as well. In fact, after the Overnight safari, we went on a Camel Trekking tour with this company too! Both our guides/drivers, Farooq and Abdul were very professional and kind, and all the programmes truly formed the experience of a lifetime. So we owe a big thanks, and we would definitely recommend!:)

Great desert experience - The tour was incredible. Hakeem, our driver was very helpful and friendly. During the night we were the only guests and the children could still sandboard at night. Everything worked out fine.

Fantastic Drive and Exciting overnight desert safari - Thanks to Hakeem, our guide provided us with very exciting 4WD ride through the dunes. It was also a great experience to overnight in the safari.

1 night in the safari desert - We got the great experience in the safari desert, we stayed 1 night in the desert with my guide. His name is Abdul rasheed. He is very nice, so kind.

Thank you for everything, that you take care us, help us to carry the bags, take the wonderful photos. I love this experience. Once time in our life. See sunrise and sunset in the desert.

Highly recommend the Overnight Desert Safari - We booked the Overnight Safari and it was an amazing experience. We were picked up right from our hotel by our guide, Hakeem, then we got to experience thrilling dune bashing, we visited a Camel farm and had plenty of opportunities for amazing photos. Then we were greeted at the camp with a delicious barbecue, traditional dances and sand boarding, just to name a few, followed by a lovely breakfast the next day. Thank you, Hakeem and the entire team for your hospitality and for making this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend to book a desert safari if you are in Abu Dhabi.

Best Overnight Desert Tour with a Friendly and Professional Guide, Hakeem - It was the best overnight desert tour I’ve ever experienced. Our guide, Hakeem, was both friendly and professional, making the trip even more enjoyable. I will definitely choose him again for my next desert tour opportunity.

Wonderful - We spent an exceptional day and evening. Our Guide Abdul rasheed came to pick us up and then we left in the desert. He is very attentive and gives a lot of information about the course of the day and evening. We made "Dune bashing" a breathtaking experience, great. Abdul rasheed is a very good driver and I felt safe. Then we arrived at the camp, a wonderful place with a lot of Things to do. Tea and coffee with dates, quad biking, camel ride, henna painting, trying on local outfits, snow and sand sledging. Then we had the varied and very good meal. The show is really nice, great dancer and dancer. We spent a good night in peace. We had a gentle awakening to contemplate the sunrise (beautiful). After a hearty breakfast we came home with wonderful memories full of head. We thank Abdul rasheed for his kindness, good humour and desire to make our trip perfect.
