Salman Foji was our fabulous guide. He went above and beyond showing us the ultimate desert experience. We did quard bike and the camel ride and the sunset in the desert was spectacular. My wife and I had a great time celebrating our anniversary. I recommend this tour with ocean air travel as a unique experience. This was the highlight of our Dubai visit.

We chose the early option of 7.30am pick up after reading reviews to beat the heat, which was needed! Dubai in June was very hot and being outside you definitely notice it! I was a little nervous my 3 boys (10,12,15) who ride motorbikes at home wouldn’t find it fun enough but they loved all the activities!! Quad bikes probably their favourite. It’s a very professional tour, great Nissan patrol pick up car from the hotel (that is your 4WD car at the end in the dunes) and our tour guide Sunil was very polite, friendly and experienced! They move you through the activities fairly quickly but that’s ok, you only need 20 min to sand dune or ride a camel in that heat. I thought our younger 2 would have to ride with a tour operator on the bikes but they were able (and capable) to ride their own buggy. Guess it’s up to you, there are smaller buggy’s for younger kids too. They do whisk you into the gift shop and all of a sudden you’re buying keffiyeh (red and white headscarves with the black band ) for the family, a nice traditional keep sake but if you were super organised you could probably buy them at a market before the tour for half the price. My only suggestion would be to offer a few more facts about the camels or headscarves and the meaning, we learnt this from a different walking tour we did that they could easily throw in. But overall would definitely recommend to get out of the high density city for some desert fun!!
Thank you Waleed!

We had a fantastic experience! Our trip guide, Salman Foji, was incredibly friendly and full of energy throughout the tour. The buggy ride was absolutely thrilling, and Salman made sure we were well taken care of at every step. His attention and enthusiasm truly made the trip memorable. Highly recommended!
