Overview

Dune driving isn’t safe for inexperienced off-roaders, so even if you rent a 4x4 in Dubai, a full-throttle desert expedition isn’t an option. This small-group tour includes a drive on at Dubai’s highest dunes—the 300-foot (90-meter) ‘Big Red’ slopes of Al Hamar—and a full line-up of additional activities. Expect a buffet dinner, belly dance show, sand boarding, optional camel riding, and more, all in an 'Arabian Nights'-style setting.

The best safari trip ever. We’ve enjoyed every moment of it. The driver Farid was so nice, professional and helpful. He took great pictures of us. The food was amazing and the show was spectacular. Absolutely recommend it to anyone staying in Dubai. It’s the best experience for me so far. My dad forgot his phone there and all the staff was very helpful to find it. And our driver Farid found it in his car.

Fun but a little disorganized

Kathy_K, Jan 2024

Overall fun experience but large portion of the time is waiting around. The location is a large business and very busy that you arrive at. After waiting around for an hour we went 4 wheeling. It was fun and very rough. Then taken to the camp where we were offered to pay about $25 more for priority seating which meant sitting on loveseats vs a pillow on the ground. We also got to eat dinner before the rest. Be prepared for people to constantly come around to sale you things. The show started about 7pm and was entertaining. I will also add I had to contact Viator twice as the tour operator was not responding to my contacts all morning and I needed to know the pick up time. This could be really fun in a shorter amount of time.

A memorable experience

Johanes_H, May 2023

The driver was really good and experience in the desert. It was really amazing memorable experience at the Dune ride. My family and friends were very happy with this tour. The car had a smoking smell which was not good for non smokers passengers. The shows were good too but the food were average. We also had to pay extra to get a better seating in the venue.

It wss more for families...

Annie_C, May 2023

It wss more for families and we changed cars 3 times. Not what we expected. We even upgraded for the vip and it was for nothing the buffet was empty and was too short to pay more

The best safari ever!

Great tour. The 4x4 really bounced around the dunes. I got to pet and to ride on a camel. The dinner was fun as well.

Tamas S, Jan 2018

I loved it, it was exactly what I expected. Everyone should try dune bashing at least once in a lifetime. Everyone in the SUV had the biggest smile on their faces. We had a chance to ride a camel and to watch a fire and a belly dance show. I want to do this tour again!

Vron N, Dec 2017

The overall experience is better than average, driver message us before he come to pick us up. The desert is actually quite far from city, many of the free/included item are sharing among many of ppl. Sand boarding is not really workable, the board is old and not working.

Eva H, Oct 2017

Very nice to see the desert but the cartrip was too short,not 45 min... The toilets at the place where we changed car was not nice...bring your own toiletpaper The camelride that was included in the price was very very short and a man was taking pictures all the time so I couldnt enjoy my little short ride. The men who had the camels were not friendly. Our guide who picked us up and were with us was nice and friendly. The food was good. To loud music at the camp.

Pessima escursione da non ripetere e consigliare

Carlo_F, Jan 2024

Un’ora di ritardo in attesa davanti alla porta del nostro Hotel per essere caricati su un pulmino che in più di un’ora e mezza di strada ci ha portato alle jeep. Trattati come pezzi da carico…volevano dividere le coppie e le famiglie pur di far stare gente, maniglie della jeep rotte quindi non ci si poteva tenere…e per giunta ha pure forato una gomma quindi ritorno a passo d’uomo. Il sand board manco l’abbiamo potuto provare perché dovevamo aspettare il compressore per la gomma! Ci hanno lasciato un’ora in un pessimo “autogrill” con bagni indescrivibili senza spiegarci che potevamo provare quad…ripartiti in pulmino altro 40 minuti, quindi stessa jeep verso “campo” nel deserto allucinante…cibo spazzatura, turistico nel peggior modo possibile, bagni infrequentabili, ritorno alla jeep e quindi pulmino con coda interminabile tanto che ci ha fatto scendere a Dubai Marina sulla tangenziale e proseguire a piedi verso l’albergo! Questi i punti principali, una presa in giro di escursione!!!

PESSIMO PASSEIO NÃO GASTE SEU DINHEIRO

Pedrocampos_M, Dec 2022

Sinceramente o pior passeio da história, fui cobrado duas vezes, uma pela aviator e outra quando cheguei no jantar com buffet, mudaram os motoristas várias vezes e faziam as pessoas trocarem de carro. Pararam bem longe da onde acontece o jantar e tive que ir andando apé, o guia não dava nenhuma explicação. Mas me cobraram denovo para poder comer, o valor de 378 EAD

Vários pontos negativos. Não recomendo

PEDRO_C, Dec 2021

Vários pontos negativos: O motorista/guia chegou mais de 1 hr antes do combinado e reclamou que não estavamos prontos e queria cancelar. A maior parte do passeio foi para que as pessoas alugassem um.quadriciclo pra andar em um cercadinho. Nós não quisemos alugar e ficamos 1:30 esperando as outras pessoas. A única parte q realmente vale a pena é o deserto e o por do sol. Porem, essa parte do passeios somente dura uns 30 min. Infelizmente, nosso guia saiu 10 min antes do por do sol e não pudemos ve-lo até o final. Ainda assim valeu a pena o visual. O jantar foi razoável.
