4.00We had a wonderful evening at Dubai Saraha Desert Fortress. The food was delicious and plentiful and the entertainment was excellent. One star deduction for the usual hawkers and tacky souvenir stalls, but otherwise we would highly recommend this experience as something fun and different.

4.00An enjoyable experience in the desert with many highlights which included a traditional Emirati welcome, interaction with falcons, camel riding and a sumptuous feast. The entertainment was phenomenal. The only criticism was the vendors from the souks disturbed our enjoyment of the evening as they were several occasions when they came to our table in an attempt to sell perfume or jewellery or photographs. Overall it was a great evening and we have many wonderful memories from this day.
