First class Muhammad, dune bashing, camel riding, Arabic bedawin camp under the stars with dining & a show! - I have done this many times with just my partner & youngest child. This time we brought our 5 older children too & we needed two vehicles - Dad in one with the three older boys & me in the other with the two girls & youngest child. I was nervous as dune bashing is the only thing that gives me an actual thrill & feeling of fear, plus all of our boys are autistic & the youngest can be particularly difficult.
Our driver Muhammad was incredible, he was super friendly & reassuring of our safety at all times & he was incredibly supportive when our youngest was being difficult due to his anxiety & autism. My daughters & me felt incredibly safe & very respected at all times. Muhammad was a professional gentleman. Obviously the dune bashing is just amazing & all of our children absolutely had the times of their lives!
The camp was great, lots of opportunities to buy souvenirs, especially traditional clothing & professional photographs, do not be put off by the bartering this is just a culture & way of life & you can barter back or say no at any time! The hospitality was top draw, the washroom facilities were clean, the camp was very pretty & the food & entertainment was great...not forgetting the camels, they were adorable & the kids & I loved riding them!
You'd be foolish to visit Dubai & not do something authentic like this - still by far my favourite thing to do when I visit, away from the city under the stars.

Something for everyone - Great tour guide Akbar Ali. Very kind, attentive and helpful. Would recommend especially if you’re travelling with older people or young kids. We met the manager - who I think was also named Akbar - he was also very welcoming.

Amazing experience in the Dessert - It was an excellent trip in the dessert, our guide did an amazing job and he offered us the best of care that exceeded our expectations. Also, it was great that we could have optioned for a Safari without Dune Bashing, it is good if you have motion sickness.

Disappointing service overshadowed nice experience - r driver was Nasir I. He picked up riders from the hotel on time; however, he did not come off as the friendliest. He tried to talk everyone into ATV riding on the way to the area for ATV and camel riding. Once arriving at the camel riding area, he told us to be back at the vehicle in an hour which would be 4:45 pm. The entire group was back at the vehicle within the hour but we did not see him. Once spotted him from a far, a rider signaled to him that everyone was waiting and he used hand gestures to tell her to go away which was rude. When he finally came back to the car at 5:30 pm, he took his time getting there as he was sipping a cool drink that he had obtained. He informed us that the show did not start until 7:30 pm and we all insisted on getting to the next stop regardless. Once we arrived at the dinner camp, Nasir did assist someone in the group with getting a chair for them. While we were waiting for the show to start, one of the guides spotted a rider looking for a napkin for food the appetizer and led her to Nasir for assistance. Once there, Nasir in his language displayed his disdain and did not assist and ignored her. When it was time to go, Nasir ignored a few riders in the group. While the show, food and camel riding was nice, a driver that is friendly with all of the riders would have been nice. It is very clear that Nasir may have a problem with women of a certain ethnicity as he was nice to the Caucasian women and man that were in the vehicle.
