Great tour and well organised. Food was fantastic and plenty of, in fact too much food for the 2 of us. Our guide and driver Wasif Latif was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this tour to friends and come again with family. Only down side was the bar staff were quite abrupt and unaccomodating.

Dinner Safari desert with quad biking

Cludia_F, Jan 2024

Good descents and ascents on the dunes, get your adrenaline pumping. Good lives with great dates, taking photos at sunset, all-you-can-eat dinner in the desert. Quad biking is weak, cars stopped when accelerating on the dunes.

Budget for an extra 400 aed per person and the experience is OK

Demir_A, Sep 2022

Honest description of what you get: - Operated by Pakistanis dressed up as Emiratis - Pick up from hotel - Drive about 75-100kms into the desert towards Oman in a Land Cruiser 7 seater (1 - 3 - 2 seating formation) - Arrival at their desert outpost 1 (there is a beverage shop and souvenir shop there). You are there for 45mins. - At the desert outpost 1 you are told you've booked a 220cc quad bike and it is only suitable for kids :) or straight line driving. That's included in the price and they start trying to upsell you so that you can drive in the dunes. They started from 1000 AED extra and settled for 500 AED (you can probably push them down to 250 AED but you'll need to hold out so they realised they arent' going to get extra cash from you at that stage) The sell is heavy but the dune bashing is a great experience. They allow for you to take pictures and take your pictures with your phones. They'll also take your picture and then when you leave have it printed and try to sell it for 50 aed. If you hold out 20aed - At desert outpost 1 you will be proposed taking a picture with a falcon for 50 aed but they'll settle for 20 aed - Then you'll pack up taken through a desert drive and have 15 mins to chill in the desert to take pictures. A nice experience, drivers are good. Aparently 2 out of 10 become sick and you'll see people at the side with motion sickness. Drivers were kind. - Your driven about 20 minutes to desert outpost 2 - You are taken straight to camels. You are put on a camel and the camel ride is 2 minutes about 50metre walk in a circle and opportunity to take picture. They also take a picture, prin and try to sell it. -You are taken to this seating area around the stage. There is a buffet and set of souvenir shops around - The dinner is a salad + BBQ. Meat quality and cooking is rubbish. Food is edible but of low quality. - Alcohol sellers tour and sell you drinks. About I think about 40 AED for a pint of beer, can''t exactly remember. It is normal for Dubai - Once you get your buffet, there is an eastern european dancer belly dance, then a male dancer in lighten dressed perform some sort of weird and funny dance. Bless him he thinks he's hot :) reality it is comedy level show - While seated they try to sell personalised names in the sand, you name in gold or silver chains (150 AED) not so hard sell - Driven back to your hotel My recommendations: - My friends who live there told me 500 aed for the quad bike was very expensive, so try to negotiate a price before you book - Experience is OK, I doubt the other operators are any different. IF you manage your expectations you'll enjoy it

Desert buggy ride was the...

Our guide/driver Aqib was really the best. He was an expert driver in the sand dunes. Just enough to be thrilling and enjoyable at the same time. This tour was the best part of our Dubai trip. This is a must and can not be missed if you are traveling to Dubai.
