AMAZING OFF ROAD EXPERIENCE IN DUBAI - A really enjoyable experience with Mr Zafar ! He was on time at the pick up and did all his best to make our experience joyful 😊. We booked via Skyland and he was our driver for the safari. Off road safari is an experience I do recommand if you like off road driving and experiencing some show with foods 😁 And if you can, ask for Mr Zafar 😊

Perfect Evening Red Dune Desert Experience - Summary: Our driver Khalid was very punctual and reached out to me prior to his arrival. We had the same driver throughout the tour. No tip were asked but I tipped anyway. Tour started and ended on time and we got everything listed on the website. In-depth: Dune bashing: Make sure you choose the "red dunes" one (bigger, taller, red-colored sand instead of white). It was fun, thrilling, not sure how long but we were satisfied with the quality of the ride rather than the duration. Khalid is such a skilled driver and seemed to be enjoying the ride as well (or perhaps enjoying our screams). He chose the highest peaks and yet able to drive safely and immediately paid attention when the lady in my group said she had enough so we stopped for a while to take photos. After that the bashing continued and everyone enjoyed it including the lady. Khalid was very quiet but knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions (who owns the dunes, red vs non-red dunes, how many red dunes are there, etc.) Camel ride: Short walk, perfect for taking pictures. Make it more memorable by asking the names and the ages of the camels and their food to see how the camel-riding host's eyes lit up in excitement and happily explained about his camels. Henna: get at least the free one, it's pretty. Make it more memorable by asking the artist's experiences and the origin of the henna ink. Sand boarding: Unlimited ride and it's fun! Try both sitting and standing poses. The climb is good to exercise your legs so do it more than once. Make it more memorable by doing it facing left and right, and ask the friendly guide about the mini-ritual that he does before each slide. Souvenir shops outside and inside the camp: You can buy the headscarves, perfume oils, and other items if you want. Bargain hard. Make it more memorable by asking for a color that is not displayed and see if they actually has it (they do). Get them to talk and entertain you by explaining about the souvenirs and their backgrounds. Let them teach you how to read the dirham in Arabic. After that you can decide if their comprehensive explanations are worth the extra money of buying the souvenirs. Shows: Tanoura, belly dance and fire shows were great! The performers interacted well with the guests. Perfect to end the tour. BBQ: Surprisingly delicious, especially the lamb and the chicken! No one was rushing us to finish our dinner. We also got welcome drinks and starters, both traditional food and Western food (chicken nuggets and french fries).

Memorable Desert Tour! Awful City Tour - The ride in the desert was heart thumping and fun. I can't wait to do it again. Ahmed the driver to the desert was brilliant and friendly. The city tour with the first driver was awful. He is not a good tour guide. He was on his phone through out. We had to prompt him of his bad behaviour driving while on phone. We had to ask him questions about all the places we visited not him telling us first.
