Dessert trip - Fantastic trip that exceeded our expectations. We didn’t realise that booking through the On The Beach Rep gave us the VIP experience that included a more enhanced 4x4 off road ride and access to the VIP roof top viewing area for the show.

Best Safari Experience in UAE!!! - This was our 3rd Safari in the UAE. We have had 2 in Dubai and 1 in Abu Dhabi. What made this one so special was first and foremost our driver Mr. Mumtaz Ali. Friendly, service-oriented, communicative, well-spoken. He elevated our already positive experience to new heights!!! Punctual pick-up from the Hotel. Clean and new, well maintained vehicle. Explaining and describing all relevant sights and spots along the way. Gave us tips and assistance as per how to deal with local traders. 5 Star driving skills. He even arranged best view table, drinks and additional pillows at the camp for extra comfort. Taking pictures for all of us was never an issue for him. Every single wish was fulfilled in no time. The Safari itself was very well organized, with lots of extras free of charge. We couldn't ask for more!!! Next time we know who our go-to guy is when it comes to Safari...

Magnificent experience - It was a fantastic experience, we lived it as a family (6 people) from leaving the hotel until returning, Mumtaz Ali, our guide, was very friendly, very attentive and a very good 4x4 driver, he put the whole family at ease, bravo for this professionalism.

Dubai Safari - This safari experience was amazing . We were VIP customers but didn’t realise . We hired a buggy and drove to the sand dunes and had some pictures taken . The food and entertainment were very good everyone was very welcoming . My only criticism is that we bought a sand ornament of the Burj Khalifa . This was once converted £185 !!!! We also had some photos taken and the 11 we chose for 10x 8 were 1,200 Aed . Again once converted were more that we were prepared to pay . So we asked for them to be done in 7x5 they were again once converted £125 . None of this was lost in translation and we were told they would be good quality . We also expected them to be at least in nice frames . Neither was the case !!! The photos were poor quality and if purchased in the UK I would have paid 17p each. This made whole experience feel tarnished .

Tourist con - Review I was very disappointed with the cynical pre-dune toilet stop, which was inside a shop. It was clear this had been prearranged to con tourists of their hard earned cash by a forced conveyer belt of staff who grabbed everyone who entered their shop, forcing an Arab head scarf on them, and pushing them to the till. No prices advertised and when you asked, “go to till and they tell you when you pay” a Younge couple which shared our car ended up paying £88 for something we saw in the market here for £7, over 6 times it’s normal cost. A disgraceful practice which it seemed the drivers were in on, as they all went into the shop just before we left, presumably to get their back hander. We were not the only ones, as there were 15 or so dune tourists in several cars coming and going whilst we were there. The driver said it was for a ladies toilet stop as the facilities at the event where none existent, which couldn’t be more from the truth as they were excellent. Driving through the dunes was great, but it was tainted by this. The location of the dinner was a little disappointing as it wasn’t authentic, really no more than a theme park set. Food was good but the drinks were 3 times that in the city. The entertainment was ok, but lacked originality. My advice, skip the dinner and avoid the shop toilet break if you can. Just go on dune trip and leave it there.
