3.00I would like to point out that the experience with our guide was very very good, I recommend it, the music, racing through the dunes, we had water all the time, he worried all the time about having us informed of everything from our first contact until he left us at the hotel, we were very happy, here I will leave photos since I do not remember his name, he was wonderful, I would like to point out also that I buy a dinner excursion, and live the wonder shown in the photos, I am not saying that they do not go but although I lived my moment I was disappointed. The Henna was not free, the water ran out very quickly, we could not eat dinner, when they gave the authorization to dine it seemed that a pack of wolves was chasing them, people took the food with their hands, since we arrived to sit down for talks every 2 min someone arrived to sell something, the interest of post is to sell and that is how it is done but you have to have more passion, that was full of people. I would also like to highlight that when you get there you are offered a VIP area for 12 dollars per person that the truth was very good, you could serve yourself unlimited and was quieter but we trusting what we bought did not think about what happened. I suggest that they sell that VIP area in another package and even if it is a little more expensive to give people the opportunity to choose, later a smell rose so unpleasant to when they are emptying a bathroom that was unbearable and even more they have an Alcon that from morning until late at night have it awake, the poor was that could not more and the one who handled it gave him pushes up to wake9 I did not like it at all0. SEPARATING THE GUIDE FROM ALL THIS, I think you must improve this place and use the reindeer to good end and I have written this with great respect
Our guide Amir was super...

4.00I wrote a review 2 days ago and then deleted it . This review will give you the reason. First, let me say this is a very good excursion. It's located about 1 hour outside of Dubai and is a part of the Arabian Desert. Our driver was very good at communicating with us and picked us up from our hotel on time. His SUV was comfortable and clean. He was very safe as a driver and put us at ease. The excursion itself was great. There is a gift shop to get a scarf and the shopkeepers will even wrap it for you. It cost about 80-90AED but you can probably haggle with them if you want. There is a man with a falcon to take pictures and lots of cats around. There is also an opportunity to go ATV riding if you would like. The dune bashing was thrilling. Be prepared to be thrown from side to side in the SUV. If you suffer from car sickness or back problems this is not for you. Next up is the sand surfing. You can either sit down or stand up. There is also a man with a falcon who you can take pictures with in the desert. Just know he charges 30AED and the guy with the falcon in front of the concessions charges 10AED. Next up, you take a drive to the area where there is Camel riding and the BBQ. The free Camel Ride is a quick 2 minute ride in a circle. If you want to do a longer ride, it costs more. Next we have the BBQ buffet and dinner show. There are 2 sections. One is seated on pillows and the other is seated on couches. The one on couches cost an extra 50AED and comes with being able to eat first. If you choose the option to sit on the pillows, you won't eat until 8pm. Almost 2 hours later than the rest. Just know there will be so many merchants coming up to you to sell you things. From photos, sand bottles, jewelery, perfume, hookah, and more. The food is fantastic and bountiful. So much food and dessert. The desert show was amazing. So much talent in one show. The fire dancing portion is phenomenal. There is also henna painting for ladies, but know there is only 1 lady doing it. Be prepared for a line. I would have given this excursion 5 stars if it hadn't been for our driver. He came up to me in the middle of the excursion and demanded I review it before the excursion ended. He literally took my phone and put 5 stars and submitted it before I had a chance to review it. That was not very good of him and the company he represented. I honestly felt intimidated and not safe. I would absolutely do this excursion again, but I would definitely not want to hassled to leave a star review.
The best time with our tour guide Kami
