Camel ride needs to he changed
jessicastrav3ls,,Jan 25, 2026

3.00This review is strictly regarding the camel ride. We did a full day excursion and everything was great: the atv, the dune bashing, the BBQ. However the camel ride left much to be desired. I personally felt bad for the 3 camels tied to each other that had to get up and down hundreds of time for a 2 minute (yes 2 minute if that) ride. If I had known I wouldve skipped or booked a separate excursion to just ride camels. The experience was underwhelming and just left me feeling bad for the camels. Other tour companies apparently operate this way as well from what I could see.
loved the dune bashing

5.00Abdullah was a fantastic guide for our desert safari and made the entire experience both exciting and seamless. He is an excellent driver, and the dune bashing was such a thrill. Not for the faint of heart, but incredibly fun. The music he played set the perfect mood and turned the ride into a full experience rather than just a drive through the dunes. He was clear, calm, and helpful at every stop, always letting us know exactly what to expect and what to do, which made everything feel easy and well organized. When it came to sandboarding, he let us go multiple times and made sure we had plenty of chances to enjoy it. He also took great photos for us, capturing moments we will genuinely treasure. The tour itself was wonderful, and Abdullah’s energy and professionalism made it even better. The only thing I would probably skip next time is the very short camel ride, which felt a bit rushed compared to the rest of the experience. Overall, Abdullah was a great guide, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and well-run desert adventure.

5.00We had an amazing experience on the desert safari — everything was very well organized. Our driver and guide, Shaban, picked us up on time, drove safely throughout the day, and shared lots of interesting information about Dubai and the safari itself. He was always making sure we were enjoying ourselves and having a great time. We highly recommend this safari and hope you’re lucky enough to have Shaban as your guide!

5.00I have to say this was one of the best days ever, I loved our driver. He picked us up at the Palm retreat. Whoever you are get a hold of me. I cannot believe I left a tip in US funds, which was nothing in AUD He was the best he made our trip so much fun easy-going guy. This company is a five star to me. There’s a lot to choose from camel ride was short and sweet!! I wasn’t into riding a camel too long. It’s fun get up get down, i enjoyed the quads and riding the dunes and if it’s gonna be cold in the evening, so make sure you wear a coat at dinner love the shows. Everything was amazing. I can’t stop talking about it. Enjoy the pics.
