Today we enjoyed a desert safari tour with a group of 4. It was excellent and we enjoyed it very much! Our guide for the day was Babar Khan, who was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area we drove through. He helped us throughout the day whenever needed. First we went to the red dunes for some dunebashing which simply is great fun! After that we went on the quads to show off our own off road skills.. 😬 Next on the list was a stop at the desert camp where we could board from the dunes, ride a camel and enjoy a very nice bbq. All in all, a great day and a company we can definitely recommend if you are looking for a desert safari!

An amazing safari. It was the best excursion we did during our 7-day vacation in Dubai. We also chose the quad bike and VIP premium dinner, which gave us the chance to enjoy the evening show from the front row and eat excellent buffet food, and there was so much of it. The most fun part was riding the dunes in a 4x4: the driver was excellent. We had a great time, then went snowboarding on the red dunes and rode a camel (perhaps the latter was too short).

    I would say i had high expectations for this tour The main things covered in my tour were - 1. ATV rides (double occupancy)- loved it would recommend 10/10 2. Sand dune bashing - loved this too, but it was very short 3. Sand-boarding - can skip, not very wow thing 4. Camp experience- very bad food, didnt like the taste, too overcrowded, bad show experience too Also had to pay for the scarf wrapped on head (so take your own), falcon pictures are also paid(can avoid)
