2nd review- honest review- NOT the one the guide wrote for me

5.00This is my 2nd review. The first was basically written by the guide on site before we could leave. I stand by my 5 star review. However here is some additional info. Not mentioned is the fact that you stop for like an hour at another place BEFORE going out to the desert & to the camp. At this stop you are bombarded by people selling things. Things like head scarves ( recommend you buy one ahead somewhere else as they are twice the price as other shops in Dubai. 70 AED each), camel rides (different than the camel ride which was included in our tour), henna tattoo (also different than the one included in the tour), the optional quad bike rides are here too, sand art, pictures with falcons, snacks & drinks. They don't hound you too much. A firm NO. THANK YOU. will send them on their way. Just be aware. Our guide was very good about telling us what was going on and informative in answering our questions and telling us stuff about the area. The sand dune drive was fun but just a little scary. There a a surprising amount of trash out there. Our driver got us a good table right up front to see the shows. Explained where the toilet was, where to get the included camel ride & henna tattoo. Everyone was invited to the buffet line at the same time . ( I had read in other reviews for other tour operators that IF you paid extra you could go to the head of the line. Not have to wait for an hour or more to eat. That is NOT the case with this tour.) The 3 shows were also quite good. The food was good. Not 5 star but what do you expect out in the desert? Overall I do recommend this tour company.
It was great. I loved it...

5.00Fazal was a great tour guide who also shared a lot of knowledge with us about the history and culture of Dubai. He knows a lot about the area as he has lived there for over 2 decades. The entire experience is quite organized and professional. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Our package was an evening tour that included dune bashing in a vehicle, henna tattoo, camel ride, live entertainment, and a BBQ dinner. Each activity included in the package has an option to upgrade for a small fee i.e. longer camel ride, more food options at dinner etc that are presented to you on site. ATVs and drinks from a bar are also available for an extra fee. Be prepared for it to take up most of the afternoon and night including the travel time to and from the site. It was a fun day, I highly recommend and would use this tour company again.
Family fun in Dubai
