Highlights

Embrace the journey as the early desert wanderers did, embarking on an extraordinary desert trek via a classic camel caravan. This is the most genuine way to follow the trails of the Bedouin ancestors.

Once you reach the Bedouin camp, you’ll be enveloped by the ambiance created by the soft glow of traditional lamps in a secluded royal haven. Witness cultural demonstrations such as henna artistry, falconry exhibitions, and the performance of time-honored music and dances (these activities are not presented during the Holy month of Ramadan).

Discover the age-old methods of bread-making passed through the ages. Conclude your adventure with a delectable dinner beneath the stars, where the past is brought to life amidst an eternal desert backdrop.

An amazing experience - Exciting trip. Exploring the desert was very cool and Malik the guide was a great driver as he took us on a ‘ desert roller coaster’. The guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions.

The best!!! - The best part was Dune Bashing and Malik's best music. The food was also great and the camel ride was longer than my previous ride. The belly dancer show was great. Is about 3 shows total. By th way the henna tattoo was gorgeous.

Fabulous - Alam our tour guide is the best, he is a real pro. Taking and giving his time with us. We had the best time on this Safari. I highly recommend Alam, you can trust him from beginning to end. When you go on this safari trip, ask to go with Alam, you will not regret it.

Not recommended . Very bad experience - Very bad experience a lot of things are not included.For example, at the beginning of the safari when you reach a point and you want to drive the buggy at least you will have to pay for two persons 420 AED one buggy for two persons. Even for the food you have to pay more like 50 AED for each person in order to eat as a human and like an animal.The camel ride is nothing more than a one minute ride around a circle. If you want a ride for 10 minutes you have to pay 10 AED for each person.Generally you will not get an original experience of the desert and the Arabic culture.Lastly they do not offer original arabic food but pakistani one and very simple.To assume we will pay extra at least 540 AED for two persons. I would not recommend it, it does not worth it.

Rude and inconsiderate driver - The driver Zubair Malik, was extremely rude to my father. Very inconsiderate ! He arrived late, no excuses. He then put some very loud music while driving with his phone on his right hand 70% of the time. When my father asked him to low down the sound he got mad and said that it was already at the lowest (a lie). Then he said that the 3 girls with us liked music and therefore it was for us to find a taxi perhaps. This man had nothing in mind but how to get a chick ! Hitting on the 3 ladies on board. The photoshoot on the sand at sunset lasted 5 min. Too short. The camel ride was a joke. Ethically, i refused to get on it and the guy asked my father 30 AED instead of 20 AED, because my dad was alone on the camel. The food was disgusting. I barely ate it. The show on stage was good and impressive for the last part (the spinning guy). When Malik dropped us, he said arrogantly « Finally we will put music on. ». How rude ! As soon as we closed the car’s doors, we heard the music wildly banging in the car. So so rude. My father is 70 years old. Yes, he is old. Yes he has bad health ever since a stroke 2 years ago, that almost killed him. I gifted him a trip to Dubai, but i would have never thought that a Safari in the desert was not fit for senior citizens. At least that was what Malik said to him ! Maybe VIATOR should mention that if Malik Zubair is the driver ; it is not fit for people with health issues, as he could care less about your well-being as long as the 20 years old girls are laughing !
