Awesome Safari Experience with Hussan! - Went on a desert safari in Dubai and honestly, it was one of the highlights of the trip! The whole experience was super fun from start to finish. We had a great time with Hussan as our driver! He was super kind, helpful, and gave us some really good tips throughout the trip. He made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable, and even helped us connect with other travelers in the group. Definitely made the day more fun and memorable! He was amazing—really skilled with the dune bashing (it felt like a rollercoaster on sand!). We stopped for some awesome sunset views, which were unreal. Be Got to try out a short camel ride, nothing too wild but fun for the photo ops. They also had sandboarding, which was a cool little bonus. Later, we headed to the desert camp where there was a solid BBQ dinner waiting. The entertainment was fun too- a fire show, belly dancing, and even a tanoura dance. It felt a bit touristy at times, but that’s kind of the charm. Overall, it was a great evening, definitely worth doing if you're in Dubai and want something a bit different.

Amazing Desert experience!!! - Thrilling Desert Safari – A Must-Do in Dubai! What an incredible experience! The dune bashing was thrilling, the quad biking was pure adrenaline, and sandboarding was so much fun. Our driver Fazal was fantastic — super friendly, skilled, and made sure we were looked after the whole time. The evening at the camp was just as amazing, with a delicious dinner and mesmerizing live shows, including a fire performance and belly dancing. Everything was well-organized and seamless. Highly recommend this unforgettable adventure!

Eventful evening, desert safari with Ahmad must all try! - Incredibly nice day with Ahmad Akhlaq our driver. He told a lot along the way about both culture and experiences in Dubai. He took us on an adventurous day with lots of excitement and new things to try. Quad bikes was fun for everyone, looking out into the desert with his Land Cruiser where he demonstrated his skills behind the wheel. He caused both joy, fear and excitement among all the guests. Can be strongly recommended, this was really our highlight. Then we got to try sandboarding which everyone thought was fun, he helped us to take great pictures in the desert and then went into a camp where both entertainment and good food stood for tour. Thanks for a magical night. Very much experience for the money, recommend everyone to book a trip.

Consider your options - The trip had its highs and lows. The driver was friendly and caring, and traveling in a spacious 4x4 with a group of seven made for a comfortable ride. The desert sunset was a highlight—absolutely beautiful—and the dune bashing felt like surfing on sand, though it might make some feel a bit sick. On the downside, the quad biking was a letdown as it was confined to a closed area, with an extra £10 per person to venture into the open desert. Even then, the group format affected the personal experience as some Poole were slow and we had to wait for others. Because of our situation to make up for the time out in the desert , we were allowed to ride in the closed area, which unfortunately led to our wide-leg trousers getting ripped—so it’s worth considering what you wear, especially the length and fit of your clothing. At the campsite, we skipped on the camel ride experience for personal reasons ( just feel sorry they have to constantly carry people when they should enjoy their freedom…). The dinner and entertainment were average. The fire show stood out, but the rest of the performance was quite basic. Food options were limited, especially for anyone that is picky. So, choose carefully how you want your experience to look—perhaps a personalized trip with a private driver would make your time nicer and would save your time for other activities. ;)

No real desert bashing, cheap and nasty camp and food - I went on desert safaris in Dubai several times . This was the worst by far. 10 mins Dune bashing was a joke at a side passage way at the side of the motorway, no real desert, no proper dunes, no proper dune bashing at all!! Camp looked and felt nasty and cheap, tried to upsell yo a separate area, when declined we were looked down as scums! Poor quality food, limited and cantern like queues. 'Unlimited ' Soft drinks was 1 cike per person, consttantly nagged for extras sales. Xamel ride impossibile to do , 2 camels approx 300 people.. unoess you paid extra! Overall terrible experience
