wonderful tour - our tour was great... the guides were amazing (I was feeling little bad because didn't have enough cash for them to tip them, you should activate a link for that in this website) with my family we had a great time... food was not my favorite as a latin woman but for sure a lot people enjoyed it

super experience - Amazing experience, awesome people, delicious food ( even for a vegetarian). I will never forget the sand dune bashing and the fire show/ belly dance show while having dinner. Thanks

Very good - Excellent experience, the only thing that would improve is that if you book a tour without sports such as ATV, it makes no sense to be taken to the area where ATVs are rented and you have to wait 1 hour without doing anything, the tour should start directly with the 4x4 cars in the desert

Desert safari - Great day out, the only thing was the timing was off, but other than that, all good.
The dune and entertaining was the highlight of the evening.

Has the items on list, but the camp was not great and there are better options for an overall experience. - So, the experience was okay and had most of the items listed on what is included, but it is not as seamless experience as it should be. The pickup/dropoff from the Dubai-area accommodations went fine, but the 4x4 was only used for the 15 minutes dune bashing and getting transported within the desert camp and required switching vehicles at least five times during the safari experience.
The dune bashing was decent, but too short and less than expected. There are a number of camps that do the dinner experience but this particular one (Lama Tours Desert Safari Camp) is focused on upselling people who come and giving a very poor experience if you choose not to upgrade your dinner seating. There are other camps that don't create as much separate classes of options and can manage the overall visit better. The food was decent and had many options including significant attention to vegetarian options. However, every corner there was constant upselling of anything possible which takes away from whatever you had already paid to just get in the building. The overall experience has become not as enjoyable from previous times I have done the desert safari.
If you want to do the Dubai-area desert safari, find an option that uses a 4x4 that will pick-you up and be your same vehicle for the entire experience including deflating the tires for the dune bashing. Ensure the camp is not just a third-party outsourced vendor where upselling is too pervasive.
