5.00The whole tour was very well organized, everything went exactly as promised and the program was perfectly planned. We truly enjoyed every part of the experience. The special highlight of this tour was the stargazing with Alex. He made this desert safari truly special. He was friendly, calm and genuinely fun, with great knowledge and a natural way of explaining things. The stargazing was a real highlight – professional, engaging and relaxed at the same time. You could really feel his passion and experience. Highly recommended!

5.00This desert safari exceeded every expectation. From the moment we left the city behind, the experience felt magical and perfectly organized. The dune bashing was thrilling yet safe, guided by highly skilled drivers who truly know the desert. The landscape at sunset was absolutely breathtaking — endless golden dunes creating a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere. At the camp, we enjoyed a delicious traditional dinner, impeccable service, and a wonderful introduction to Emirati culture through music, dance, and hospitality. Every detail was carefully thought out, making the entire experience smooth, authentic, and unforgettable. This safari is a perfect balance of adventure, culture, and luxury. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai — it’s not just an activity, it’s a memory you’ll carry forever.

5.00We were picked up right on time from our hotel and driven in a comfortable car to the first location, where you could choose to go quad driving if you wanted. After that, the dune bashing began — and it was absolutely awesome. We even stopped once to take some beautiful photos in the desert. Our guide Ali was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the entire trip. Later in the evening, the dinner and show were very well organized, and the performance was entertaining. There was also the option to ride a camel, which added to the experience. We also had a stargazing session with Hakim, who was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He explained everything in such an engaging way and was very kind and helpful. It was truly a highlight. At the end of the evening, Ali was waiting for us again and brought us safely back to our hotel. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and definitely a recommendation.
