5.00We took a ride with the camels then left with the buggy. The experience is really amazing, fun and the scenery is beautiful. We were even able to see the sunset. Then we had dinner at the camp and the meal was excellent with a very good atmosphere. Thanks to the whole team for their welcome, I really recommend the experience!
Awesome experience except dinner

5.00I truly enjoyed this excursion. Driving the dune buggy, camel ride, learning about the history of the area was great. The staff, especially my guide, were exceptional. The only negative I have is the dinner. I booked this trip as a solo traveler. When I was being served, the server brought out enough food for at least 2 people. So most of the food went to waste. Unless the company can accommodate a solo traveler for dinner,I would suggest booking the trip without dinner. Otherwise, the experience was good.
Great Vibes and Amazing Food

5.00It was just perfect from A to Z. We were picked up on time. The friendly driver could tell us a lot about the local customs and sights. The buggy ride was super cool and fun for everyone. The subsequent dinner was very delicious and extensive. We will repeat the tour on our next visit....

5.00Pick up and the whole organisation was pleasant and easy. They were very attentive to our needs. We then drove to the buggy camp by car and were allowed to use the toilet and get water there. Afterwards we went through the desert with the buggies and it was so much fun!!! It was one of the best moments of my life! It really took a long time and it was so great to drive through the desert. Then we went back and went to eat. The food was incredibly delicious. So much choice and enough of everything. Thank you so much!!!

5.00The views were amazing. Really great photo opportunities as well. Camel ride was really cool, the falconry was really interesting (and we got to hold the birds!), and the dune buggy was an absolutely amazing experience. Topped off with a delicious meal as well. Our driver Faayiz was very friendly and accommodating, telling us interesting facts about the areas we were passing through on the way to the camp. Our dune buggy guide Fred was great fun and really added to the whole experience, and the camp coordinator Ben was very entertaining and welcoming as well. Would 100% recommend this to anyone. Best experience in Dubai so far. Ciara & Brian from Ireland 🇮🇪
