This was by far the best experience I’ve had in Dubai! Our tour guide was Syed Tariq and he was absolutely amazing! He picked us up on time, making sure to communicate via WhatsApp the time of pick up in advance. He also made sure the locals did not overcharge us for souvenirs, photos, etc (beware they will). Our dune bashing experience was a blast! From start to finish…ATV and camel riding in the desert, the actual authentic Arabic cuisine at the end, everything was wonderful! Will recommend to everyone especially if you have middle-aged kids they will enjoy it.

The sanduning was great. The food was horrible. The toilets were disgusting and no belly dancing because of Ramadam. The three shows one amazing one pathetic and one average. For the price mmmm
MICHAEL_M, Mar 2024
Such high expectations were definitley not met. The sand dune experience was very disappointing due to the high volume of traffic and general chaos. Far to commercialised, not a camel or belly dancer in sight. Paid big money for Henna tattoo which was done in such a rush it was a mess. Overall this was not a desert experience as advertised . Over priced and under delivered. The harassment of people literally forcing photographs with the Falcon is an invasion of space and cruelty to the animal. The driver however was pleasant and did his job to the best of his ability. A better experience has been had on South African Durban beaches without being ripped off financially

I didn't do the ATV or the Camel rides but I enjoyed watching others. The sunset was nice as well as the dinner and show.

If you are in the front it's probably a good trip. If you are stuck in the boot seats, stay home. I was put in the boot seat even though I was tallest passenger at 6 ft. The transfer took 2 hours, because they had pick ups from old town and Marina before departure. So easy to organise this better. When finally released from the boot, it was to pay extra for falcon pics, scarfs, quad bike, but water is free. On the dune already aching from the transfer, is then he'll in the back, cramped and trying not to hit your head or vomit. Then another 45 minutes to the buffet. Not like the picture but good food, dancing and atmosphere. Henna tattoo only one finger even though half the guests/ men didn't want it although an included feature. Even for basics such as toilet paper, you have to take your own.

I don’t think we been taken to the abv VIP/Premium camp. Disappointed with the food/ambience/quality of the camp. The vehicle drive was awesome though
