Everything. Right from hotel pickup to guiding by Mr Amir, headout executive, and to the evening at the camp and then dropping at the hotel, everything was great
Booking our desert adventure was very easy despite it being last minute. Customer service was also very helpful with our request. Our tour guide, Mohammad, took care of us very well. We went dune bashing with 2 kids and a senior and he took in mind our preference while making sure we enjoyed the experience. He was very encouraging for all of us to try sandboarding. We all had a blast! He put on music to set the mood in the car and took nice photos at the desert. Camp was clean, lovely food and entertainment. The photographers were too pushy though to sell us photos.
It was a nice experience, the driver was spectacular, the activity was super nice and the food was very good. We have taken a good memory. I recommend it 100%.

The experience in the desert on the jeeps was amazing, the driver was experienced in driving in the desert and nice. He advised us where to buy and guided us through the whole experience. The show in the camp was also great. thank you
The driver Dawood was good and we had a good dune bashing experience. The quad bike charges are high which we paid separately. The food in the camp Your Trip was not good at all. Some of tje items felt like they were stale. Chicken not cooked properly. The fire show was good. Overall a mixed review.
Very powerful full og joy and good company
It was great experience. Next time we will do this again but without the camp. See you next time 😎
Everything went very well, an experience with a lot of adrenaline.

The dune ride was amazing — the driver was highly skilled, which made the experience unforgettable. And the fire show at the camp was absolutely impressive
I actually loved the experience in general and it was a good value for money. The dune bashing was very fun and our guide Ismail played some good music and made it fun. Also our guide at the Buggy was great, he took his time, made effort to take cool pictures and videos of us driving and really made sure we were enjoying the experience. However, we didn't like the constant attempts of many vendors to sell us things, sometimes almost forcing us. And also at the end of the camp shows Ismail insisted that everyone gives him a great review on the spot. I hate being forced to give a fake opinion and this is the main reason for my frustration, otherwise we actually enjoyed most of the tour.
Overall, it was excellent; however, the vehicle's interior could have been better. I opted for a shared experience, and the other party arrived quite late, so I had to wait a considerable amount of time for the experience to begin.
Perfect coms with yourselves, Hassan our guide/driver was amazing for the day. Probably my only disappointment was we paid extra to include the sand buggies and we had literally 5 mins if that before we got called back in , to be honest it was a manic 5 minutes , a bad free for all and very dangerous unsupervised part of the day , I had my 14 and 19 year old grandsons with me was worrying. We had no instructions on how to operate the sand buggies. Apart from that it was a thoroughly enjoyable day thanks to yourselves and Hassan.
a very nice experience, the safari in the desert was the best, i think the crossing before the safari to the pool for the motors was a waste of time, our driver was excellent and also the food in the evening was very good and abundant. the only thing that saddened me was the treatment of the camels, they had to walk up and down a few steps for the tourists, such torture of animals should not be accepted.
We had an amazing experience! Highly recommend and ask for Abdo - he was outstanding and he got us the best table in the camp!
The activities were excellent. We had an amazing time. It was worth every penny. Also, our guide/driver Mr Mohammed Fawzy was amazing. His driving skills were exceptional. And also he did not let us run out of drinking water. Definitely will recommed to my friends & family. And also if i get a chance, i would love to experience safari again in future. Thank you.
The guide was a great driver, but he did not speak English or did not like to speak much, so we did not have the chance to interact and understand what the trip was about. It was freat that we did not have to share the car with other people. The bbq dinner was good, but I expected a better environment for it.
Our driver Ameer was great. My mom got car sick and he was super patient. Allowed her to get out of the car, take the rest of the group for the rest of the dunes ride and then returned to her promptly. Very nice.
Overall I liked it. But the camel ride is very short, just for the photo. The boarding was only one launch and they don't give time, it was one after another and you have to get up fast or you will crash with the next one. The food was excellent.

The driver was very nice and the dune bashing part was pretty good too, but on the other hand the rest of the experience wasn't quite as nice. The breakfast that was be included never happened, instead we got a half of a mini cup of some tea and a single date. The sand boarding part was way too short and we didn't have time to enjoy it all and felt very rushed to return to the car.
A real raw experience to remember. If you've got an afternoon to spare I encourage you to definitely go for it! There may be delays and some unexpected situations, but that's a part of the experience! :)
That was really awesome, totally worthed!!! The guide Mr. Aamir Khan was superb!!! Very nice, friendly and helpful. Really glad that we took the package. Amazing experience 🥰☺️
Camel ride was less than a minute. They tried to sell you lots of stuff. Entertainment was good. Food was geared more Toward vegetarians. Overall it was a good experience.
Super organisiert trotz sehr kurzfristiger Buchung.
Seamless experience, good discount. App is intuitive.

Waleed was our Guide, amazing guy! He had the detail to explain us more about the Dubai city and people, culture and spots to visit. The activity plan was great and we had a blast on the red desert, Waleed is a master on the terrain! I would like to recommend the plan to anyone looking for some adrenaline!
Quick and efficient service and prompt
Great experience, definitely worth the time and money. Desert is beautiful in February. It's still not too hot, so at this time of year is pretty amazing. Our driver was Noor, and he show some amazing skills while driving through the dunes.
The Desert Safari was very well organized, pick up and drop off locations were exact, the car was very nice and safe, our tour guide/driver was also very kind and helpful. Camel riding, dune bashing and the desert view itself will be a memorable experience, you shouldn't miss it! Thank you for everything
Najeeb was a fab guide and driver on the dunes. He correctly encouraged us to upgrade our quad bike experience to the dunes and not the small area. Initially we were reluctant, being tight English! However we did and we were so grateful for doing so. It was long and fab. Defo one on your list to do. We will return. The guide for the quads was also excellent. Excellent communication with booking and guide re pick up and all questions answere promptly. Overall excellent service.
It was really good, starting with the local tour operator and the guide Yaseen that made sure we get enough adrenaline. Highly recommend
Immediate confirmation. Tour operator proactive to coordinating details of the guide. Our guide was Mr Khan. Punctual in time and nice man , good in explaining the ride and details. Kids enjoyed the desert car ride .
The experience was amazing! Our host and driver Mr. Dilawar Khan was very friendly and supportive. He even lent his sunglasses to me during ATV ride as I forgot mine back at the apartment. This was quite unexpected and polite gesture. He made sure we were comfortable and that we had the most fun possible. Cheers!
Hafiz Muhammad desert safari guide was fantastic! He arrived on time and promised us a day we would never forget and he certainly delivered. He was very informative and gave us the best desert experience one could ask for. The dune bashing, sandboaring and quad bike activities were amazing and far better than our experiences with other providers. I would strongly recommend Hafiz and this company. We will definitely be booking Hafiz again when we are next in Dubai!
A fantastic day out in the desert. Our driver AK was brilliant. I would highly recommend the quad bikes as they are so much fun.
Our driver Mr. Kahn was great.

After spending 15000 INR, the experience was not satisfactory . Everyone (driver, guides in the camp) seems to complete their duty and go off. Star-gazing was of no sense. You cannot see anything with their telescope. Only a private tent is what they are giving extra in overnight safari with breakfast. HIGHLIGHT : *No Belly Dance show* They are making us fool. I won't recommend overnight stay. If you are 5 mins late then you miss camel trek in the morning. (Option is there in the evening as well) As soon the sun will be out they will push you to have breakfast and leave. You cannot take pictures of the surise for more than 5-10 mins. Disgusting!
My driver Imran and all the stuff of the camp did a very good job Especially I want to mention Hareem and his staff . They treated me like a king after most of the guests left for the hotels and I stayed the night in the camp It was really an extraordinary experience and a super Service and very delicious food
The experience worth it. Our guide from Ocean Air travels provided really excellent service from the time picking up from hotel and dropping back at hotel. Quad biking, sand boarding, dune bashing, dinner service, entertainment shows, camel ride, sunset and sunrise experience in the middle of the desert was awesome and totally enjoyed it. The night stay was safe. Can say that the tent accommodation provided was in par with the best quality hotel accommodations. The staff were so cordial and helped clicking some of the best pictures :)
The experience has exceeded my expectations in all ways, BBQ, Buffet, dancing shows, and Safari. All the people there were so friendly and welcoming. More specifically, Hakim, Achraf, and Imran. I would definitely recommend it and would love to repeat this experience in the near future.
the experience was above and beyond - thanks to my driver who was so attentive to help me make this experience special.

Is Camel riding safe in Dubai?
Yes, camel riding in Dubai can be a safe and enjoyable experience with proper precautions. Like any activity, it involves inherent risks, but with awareness and responsible behavior, you can minimize them and have a fantastic time.
Camel riding is included in all Dubai desert safari packages. The activity lasts a couple of minutes, during which the visitors can take a stroll in the desert and get pictures.
Mornings and evenings both offer a different experience during desert safaris. Equally enthusiastic and equally breathtaking. You can go on a camel ride in the morning or the evening.
Morning: Since the morning desert safari starts early, visitors need not be concerned about the scorching sun. You will mostly complete your safari before the sun reaches its peak.
Evening: Evening offers a mesmerizing backdrop of a setting sun and golden dunes. This view of a calm desert as you hop on a camel.
Loose, comfortable clothing that covers your knees and shoulders is ideal. Closed-toe shoes are mandatory for safety. Sunglasses and a hat are recommended.
Opt for a light breakfast or pre-dinner snack. Avoid heavy meals before your ride.
Respect the camels, and avoid loud noises or sudden movements.
Camel Rides in Dubai is an experience that comes as a part of most of your Dubai Desert Safari tickets. You can hop on the backs of camels and enjoy a tranquil ride in the desert.
Most standard safaris offer short camel rides through the desert camp. Premium packages might include longer rides or scenic sunset excursions. Check your specific package details.
If your ticket doesn’t include camel riding, you can still enjoy the activity on the location for an additional amount.
Prices vary depending on the duration and any included extras like photos or refreshments. Expect to pay around AED 50 for a short camp ride to AED 200+ for a longer desert excursion.
Camel riding is generally safe, especially on flat terrain. Experienced handlers guide the camels, and you'll receive instructions on mounting and dismounting safely.
Wear comfortable clothing that covers your arms and legs. Long pants and closed-toe shoes are recommended. Avoid loose scarves or flowing garments tangled in the camel's harness.
Enjoy the gentle sway of the camel as you traverse the desert, taking in the vast landscapes and unique perspective of being atop this majestic creature. Some rides might offer opportunities for photos or interaction with the camels.
