Highlights

Your Dubai desert safari starts when you are picked up from hotel or select location by our guide in the morning. Get seated in the 4x4 Land Cruiser to enjoy a thrilling ride to the desert. Your guide will tell you about the history and facts of the region along the ride.

Once at the desert, the Land Cruiser will take you deep in to the desert for 30-40 minutes dune bashing drive. Gaze out at the golden sands that are being thrashed all over and feel like being in a roller coaster! The next highlight program is sandboarding. This activity doesn’t require any experience in prior. You just follow the instructions of the guide. Your excitement will be high as you slide over dunes after dunes.

Once you are done with the activities, you will then be taken to a typical Arabian desert camp for some much needed refreshments. Here, be welcomed with Arabic coffee, (gahwa, gaymat). Then, it is time for a camel ride on the desert. As you ride on the camel, admire the vast landscapes and feel the allure of the desert. Once you are done with the ride, return to the camp and re-energize yourself with a brunch (light meal).

Once you are finished with your tour, you will be taken back to your hotel.

Unforgettable Experience with Friendly Staff - Communication was very prompt and clear from the travel company and our event host from beginning to end. Pickup was timely from our hotel and the ride was clean and comfortable with our friendly host, Wajahat. Once we arrived to the destination, there were little shops to purchase additional beverages and snacks, head scarves and accessories to enhance the experience and other souvenirs and custom jewelry. Because our youngest son is too young for the ATV we had to upgrade to the four seater dune buggy but it was well worth it and more fun to travel all in one vehicle as a family with young children. They took a professional photo and it is very beautiful keepsake as this experience was a lot of fun and a very special adventure for our family. After riding in the desert for a bit, the driver we were following through the dunes stopped to take several photos of us with our own cell phone, which turned out great. Next, we settled back at the camp area and gathered with others in our group to take a ride out in the car to where the camels were resting. We rode the camels for a short duration but it was nonetheless a very unique and emotional experience for us- once again, they took several wonderful photos of us on the camels. After the camel rides, we did the dune bashing, which my two young boys and husband enjoyed very much but unfortunately, it was too much for my sensitive stomach. I became extremely motion sick and had to be driven back separately to see the nurse. Due to the dizziness, nausea and dehydration, my blood pressure dropped so the nurse gave me ice for my neck and salt water to drink and within 30 minutes, my vitals were back to normal and I felt well enough to complete our day and drive back to the hotel. I cannot thank the staff enough for their kind nature towards our children and their gentle and attentive care and attention towards me when I was feeling very ill. I would highly recommend this experience for anybody visiting Dubai.

Much more than expected! - The best tour ever in our trip in all over the world. Entire tour was very well organized, clean and comfortable. Especially our guide Shihab was by far professional. Even before starting tour, he gave us useful tips for tour and close contact for picking up. Thanks to him, me and my boyfriend decided to come back to Dubai for sure next year !

Early morning Desert Trip! - What an amazing trip! We had an early start to the day and after a slightly sleepy start our day sprung into life by our guide for the day Roshin who picked us up from hotel promptly. We went on to our Quad bike experience which was great fun even getting some air on our bikes. People of all ages were there and well worth the go to experience the thrill of biking over the dunes, even my wife enjoyed it! Onwards to the dune bashing, what fun, some truly skilful driving from Roshin, things got a little hairy but we knew we were in good hands. We then tried our hands at Sand boarding which again was Greta fun, we could do as much as we liked, no rush, although 3 times down a hill was enough. Onwards to the camp and camel rides which again was great fun, our camel was called GOAT, and he was the Greatest Of All Time! A short ride but was enough as not the most comfortable. We then headed back to camp for a great bite to eat served by lovely staff, food exceeded our expectations. All in all a day to remember meeting some great people and looked after by great people, Roshin made the day for us all and we would highly recommend this trip for all ages. Skott & Amanda UK

It worth it! - We enjoyed it very much! Well organised and professional. Lovely experience! Great places for pictures and for enjoying the desert! Our driver, Roshin, took good care of us and made sure we were ok at any moment, especially when my sister got motion sickness. At the end we were welcomed by a nice host in a tent where we enjoyed amazing dishes!! We chose the morning tour which was shorter than other ones (4 h), and it was perfect!! I was also happy with their customer service, because they arranged the pick up from my address which was not included in their website. I recomend it!
