Spectacular and memorable - It was a marvellous experience. We really enjoyed seeing the birds and various animals. The drive through the sand dunes was great with many spectacular views of the desert. Our guide was very helpful and very knowledgeable about everything. He did a fantastic job looking after us. The meal and village experience at the end of the tour added a special touch to what was a great outing - something that we cherish and always remember

Amazing - highly recommend - Imran was/is amazing - took all the time in the world to explain things and drove us through the desert. Had a fantastic time. My only complaint is that there was too much food (which was fabulous BTW, pretty sure you did not get food poisoning here for that one comment).

Awesome Safari with all the trimmings - This tour was a trip highlight - on a trip filled with highlights. Our excellent guide - Imran Khan - was professional, attentive and lots of fun. He promised us the best time and he delivered. From the camel rides, to holding a real falcon, to the deluxe dune buggy ride through desert, the henna tattoos, a delicious and huge meal served in a private tent with our own waiter. This experience was top notch. We bought all the pictures and beautiful jewelry with our names in Arabic. He was patient- as we were the last ones to leave - we never felt rushed. Definitely book this tour. Ask for Imran.

Fun experience - Our guide was great, super interactive and took time to make sure everyone in the group he was “in charge of” was taken care of- between pictures, food, drinks, activists etc. Thanks, Imran Kahn!

Best tour ever! - This desert tour was an absolutely amazing experience, enhanced by Imran our guide who was great from beginning to end. Everything was perfect and the Mercedes jeep was fantastic. I did a lot of research on these tours and I made the right decision choosing this one. It’s a must do in Dubai

Good taste of the desert. - Decent activities and organization. Would be better have longer camel ride. Staff took nice pictures for us at sunset. Experience quite expensive for what we got but still good overall.

Tourist trap - People were nice but it was an extremely tourist-trappy feeling -- strong Potemkin village vibe. Everyone in my party got food poisoning and was stuck on the toilet for the rest of the trip (except for me because I didn't eat). Was hoping to do stargazing, but we never did that. The only part I liked was when we left to sit in the desert and watch the sun set, very clean and natural feeling after the overwhelming metropolis of Dubai.
