Your journey will begin with a private, air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle collecting you from your preferred location, whether it's your hotel, residence, Dubai airport, or the Dubai Cruise Terminal. The pick-up usually takes place between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM, ensuring you arrive in time to enjoy the full desert experience, including thrilling dune bashing, sandboarding, and a breathtaking sunset view.

5.00We had an unforgettable desert safari in Dubai, and Noori made the experience absolutely perfect. From hotel pickup to drop-off, everything was smooth and well-organized. He picked us up in a comfortable white Land Cruiser and took great care of our whole family—me, my wife, our 11-year-old son, and my 70-year-old parents. We visited the stunning red dunes in Sharjah, enjoyed a camel ride and a falcon photoshoot, followed by thrilling dune bashing and sandboarding. Noori’s expert driving made the adventure exciting yet safe for all of us. The evening camp offered delicious food and top-notch entertainment—the fire dance was the highlight of the night! Noori was professional, friendly, and truly made the day special. Highly recommend booking with him!
