5.00The Dubai desert safari was an unforgettable experience. From our driver Zahid’s thrilling dune bashing ride to the beautiful sunset views, everything felt unique and exciting. The dinner and live entertainment under the stars made the night feel magical. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai!
Great experience with friends

4.00Let’s separate the evaluation for the tour and the guide: - Tour itinerary and experience: 3-4 stars - Guide: 5 stars The tour has a first stop (45 min) for quadricycle rental, which was not good because it was too crowded, with unskilled people running across the desert on all directions. Really scary. The second stop was for photo shooting in the dunes after some rally experience. That was nice. Finally, a stop in a camp for Camel ride (too short like 1 min), dinner (ok), falcon photo (extra cost) and typical dance / fire show that was also ok. The one thing that caught me was the over selling (hena tattoos, jewelry, photos, etc.). I’d rather pay more for a more exclusive experience in the camp. The guide in the other hand was very friendly and willing to provide a good experience.
Thank u AWAIS
