A very fair price for all you get

5.00The experience is very good: you get everything that is included in the extensive package to an extend that allows you to get your feet wet. The dune bashing is 5 minutes long. Then you get about 10 minutes in the desert, you get to sit on a camel if you like and ride a quad. There is abundant food and you can have as much water as you want for free. The show is entertaining. All boxes ticked. The staff on site is extremely attentive and make sure you know what is included and what is extra. All things considered it’s a very good price for everything that you get. That’s why I give five stars. The experience itself is somewhat massified and you will not get in a mindset that allows you to let go and enjoy deeply. If you are after that, you would have to look for something else.
It was a very good desert experience.

5.00Our Dubai Desert Safari with our driver Mahmood was truly unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up, Mahmood was polite, punctual, and made us feel very welcome. He explained interesting facts about the desert and the local culture during the drive, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The dune bashing was an absolute highlight! Mahmood handled the car with great skill and confidence, giving us a thrilling yet safe experience. He always made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. We stopped at several beautiful spots for photos, and Mahmood helped us capture amazing moments with the sunset over the dunes. After the adventure, we arrived at the desert camp where we enjoyed a delicious BBQ dinner, camel rides, and the evening entertainment. The atmosphere was incredible, and the whole experience felt well-organized and authentic. Mahmood patiently guided us through each step and checked that we had everything we needed. I highly recommend booking the Dubai Desert Safari with Mahmood. His kindness, professionalism, and great sense of humor made our day truly special. It’s one of the best experiences we’ve had in Dubai!

5.00I had an absolutely amazing time on this desert safari! Everything was so well organized from start to finish. The team was professional, friendly, and genuinely caring, making sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. The dune bashing was exciting but still felt safe, and our driver was clearly very experienced. Watching the sunset over the desert was simply breathtaking — one of those moments you’ll always remember. The camp was nicely arranged, the camel ride gave a touch of local culture, and the dinner with live shows was full of great energy. The fire show and Tanoura dance were both fantastic!

5.00The Desert Safari Sunset tour in Abu Dhabi is a must when visiting Abu Dhabi. Riding a camel and the bumpy ride in the desert was fun, the sand boarding experience was cool, and sunset experience was amazing. Our driver and tour guide Zakir made the tour more enjoyable for taking great pictures with the sunset, funny pictures as well as suggesting to try the sand boarding. The tour was definitely worth it!
