Wonderful experience in the Abu Dhabi desert - I love the desert. And for the first time I discovered that of Abu Dhabi, the Al Khamit desert, on an adventurous and adrenaline-filled afternoon on an unforgettable ups and downs among the golden dunes under a scorching sun. I experienced that desert with EMIRATES TOUR and it was a beautiful experience. Emirates Tour is a world-class tour operator offering the highest quality services to an international audience. And in the jeep that came to pick me up at the hotel I traveled with Chinese and Uzbek tourists, spending a very intense and fun afternoon. Emirates Tour offers many different packages but I chose the desert safari: we raced in the jeeps on the dunes, stopped at a camel farm, took a camel ride, admired the sunset and tried surfing on the sand. And then, after the sunset on the dunes, the henna tattoos, the shoots with the eagles, and much more, we had dinner under the stars watching a wonderful dance show. Among the most appreciated aspects are professionalism and attention to detail. The service is tailor made even if carried out with other tourists and the quality of the services is excellent. The staff is uniquely kind. I recommend it especially if you are on your first trip to the Emirates and Abu Dhani to discover the best of the city and the region.

Fantastic trip - On our last evening in Abu Dhabi, my friends and I went on the desert safari trip with Emirates Tours and Safaris. Our guide Abdul Rasheed picked us up from our hotel, he was amazing. Offered us water as soon as we got into the vehicle (it was 43 degrees outside) on our journey to the desert he pointed out interesting things for us, and explained all that we would be doing. The excursion itself was fantastic and would highly recommend. The dune bashing was hilarious, we screamed and laughed all the way round, we also had time to record other vehicles who were with us on the tour sliding down sand dunes. The camel farm 🐪 was lovely, the baby camels were adorable. When we stopped for photographs, Abdul took lots of pictures for us from all kinds of angles to get the best pictures we could have for our girly desert experience. Once in camp, we had the opportunity to ride a camel, tried on traditional clothing and had henna tattoos. The meal was delicious and the entertainment was fantastic. Could not recommend this excursion enough and if you’re lucky enough to have Abdul as your guide you will be in for a treat. PS Abdul, apologies again for our friend in the passenger seat who talked to you none stop for 2 hours 😂

Fabulous Evening - What a fabulous evening! Roosal our driver contacted us before pick up and was on time, courteous and friendly throughout. Dune bashing was great fun, exciting and not too scary. Camel riding was short but an experience. Sand boarding was fun. The camp was well set out, bottled beer available (2 for 60Dhs). Entertainment was good and food was better than expected (hummus, fresh salads, bbq meats) and plentiful. All in all it was a very good evening at a fair price. We would recommend.

A must do tour if you are in Abu Dhabi - You cannot be in the UAE and don't do a Desert Safari. Everything was perfect, they pick you up in Abu Dhabi in the mall or hotel that you choose. We chose the mall that was in front of our buiding so that was very convinient for us. The attention of our host Abdul Rasheed was perfect, he was taking pictures of us, very careful that we were okay and comfortable. The Dune bashing was a rush of adrenaline for all of us and we really enjoyed it. We visited a camel farm and then we headed it to the camp. Once in the camp you could do the camel riding, sand boarding, henna painting, traditional outfits for you to try and other activities that were available. Then we had dinner it was an arabian bbq buffet that I have to say it was very good, all the soft drinks were included also tea and arabian coffee. After dinner we had the spectacle and after the stars gazing we were heading home, they leave you at the same location they picked you up. I think the price is more than okay after you have this amazing experience. For me the highlight of the day was the sunset.

Fun and enjoyable experience - We had a very good experience right from the time we were picked up from the hotel till we were dropped off. Dune bashing was the highlight; super fun and exciting. Our driver Mr. Rashid expertly handled the dunes while at the same time kept checking if we were all ok. At the camp site, the camel ride was short but enjoyable. The food was good though the buffet closed a bit quicker than expected. The belly dance and tanoura dance performances were excellent. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable evening for the entire family. Thanks again to Mr. Rashid the Emirates team for this experience. Would highly recommend to all.
