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.

You should definitely go on a desert safari when you visit Dubai. It was a lot of fun and a great experience for us. Amir, our guide, was very nice and also warned us about tourist traps 💸. Unfortunately, we didn't book the quad biking in advance, as the description says that children under 14 are not allowed to ride alone, but it was no problem on site and we paid double the price 😞. Organizationally, everything worked great from the pick-up to the return transport.

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.

Our evening desert safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. The highlight of the trip was not just the stunning landscape or thrilling activities, but the exceptional service we received from our guide, Ranjit. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The dune bashing was exciting and well-paced, offering both adventure and amazing views of the desert. We also had the chance to try quad biking, which added an extra layer of fun to the evening. At the desert camp, we enjoyed camel rides, henna painting, and sandboarding, followed by a delicious BBQ dinner with plenty of options. The live entertainment—especially the belly dancing and tanoura show—was vibrant and engaging. What really stood out was the thoughtful gesture from Ranjit—he surprised us with a complimentary Red Dunes Desert Safari, which took the entire experience to another level. It was a beautiful, scenic ride through some of the most striking parts of the desert. This safari is a must-do in Dubai, and with a guide like Ranjit, it becomes truly unforgettable.

Desert Rollercoaster with Hassan! Hassan was an absolute legend behind the wheel! His dune driving was like a desert rollercoaster — fast, fun, and totally safe. We were laughing, cheering, and hanging on for dear life (in the best way)! If you want a wild ride and a great time, ask for Hassan. 100% recommended!

We had an amazing desert safari experience thanks to our guide Mr.Syed Ahmed. He was incredibly friendly, made us feel comfortable right away, and shared a lot of interesting insights about the desert. The ride was thrilling but safe, and his knowledge really added to the whole adventure. Highly recommended!

I recently booked a private dessert safari tour with Ahmed. He was amazing at his job. He was very humble and polite. Dune bashing was thrilling as well. He also recommended us to the VIP camp which i think was the best as it included buffet and proper seating area. Overall the tour was amazing and i would do it again with Ahmed. I highly recommend Ahmed if you are looking for a good dessert tour!

The museum of the future tour is very interesting, stay there for the 3rd floor, it's a therapy session of it's own with the calming activities.

It was very organised. The Tour guide Soni contacted via WhatsApp several times that day and even with an exact pick up time. He was very polite and curtious as I was a solo female traveler. He took pictures for me and always checked in during activities. This was my first tour as a solo traveler and I couldn't have been happier how comfortable Soni made me feel. Great tour highly recommend especially the sand dunes very skilled driver

I highly advise everyone to take the opportunity and buy combined tickets, for example Burj Khalifa + aquarium on the territory of Dubai Mall - it's just fantastic. Everything is in one place, you can first go up to Burj Khalifa 124-125 floors (you have to go up there at exactly the specified time, and you can stay up there - as much as you like), there is a terrace, for more fullness of sensations and better quality photos....Enjoy the view of the city and the sea - you can go for a snack on the top floor of Dubai Mall, where a lot of all kinds of cafes, burger shops, etc. are concentrated. And then watch the aquarium, rainforest, penguins with crocodiles, feed the fish and many other things, no less interesting...you can come to the aquarium at any time, but the only thing is, of course, on the day for which you bought a ticket. I started my tour at six o'clock to get to the observation deck of Burj Khalifa and catch the sunset - it's very beautiful, you have to see, the photo can not convey it... I had 5 hours for all the adventures together with the aquarium. Since the center works until 00:00 hours, no problems, a couple of hours at altitude - rest and a snack - a trip to the aquarium, everything is just super!!!!

Our evening desert safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. The highlight of the trip was not just the stunning landscape or thrilling activities, but the exceptional service we received from our guide, Ranjit. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The dune bashing was exciting and well-paced, offering both adventure and amazing views of the desert. We also had the chance to try quad biking, which added an extra layer of fun to the evening. At the desert camp, we enjoyed camel rides, henna painting, and sandboarding, followed by a delicious BBQ dinner with plenty of options. The live entertainment—especially the belly dancing and tanoura show—was vibrant and engaging. What really stood out was the thoughtful gesture from Ranjit—he surprised us with a complimentary Red Dunes Desert Safari, which took the entire experience to another level. It was a beautiful, scenic ride through some of the most striking parts of the desert. This safari is a must-do in Dubai, and with a guide like Ranjit, it becomes truly unforgettable.

Clean, modern, and interesting - but huge queues to get in and out (over 2h up, over 1h down) with toilet on wrong side of queue system causing tension when you need to get back to your family. If I'd have known the delays before and after I would have wanted Headout to provide upgrade option as I probably would have bought it to waste less holiday time in the queues.

Well, the view was good and the waiting time was ok. Unfortunately there were too many people on top so that made the experience a bit less. And I expected more of the lifts - a show or something. It's a bit too expensive for what you get. Buying tickets via HeadOut was easy.

Our evening desert safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. The highlight of the trip was not just the stunning landscape or thrilling activities, but the exceptional service we received from our guide, Ranjit. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The dune bashing was exciting and well-paced, offering both adventure and amazing views of the desert. We also had the chance to try quad biking, which added an extra layer of fun to the evening. At the desert camp, we enjoyed camel rides, henna painting, and sandboarding, followed by a delicious BBQ dinner with plenty of options. The live entertainment—especially the belly dancing and tanoura show—was vibrant and engaging. What really stood out was the thoughtful gesture from Ranjit—he surprised us with a complimentary Red Dunes Desert Safari, which took the entire experience to another level. It was a beautiful, scenic ride through some of the most striking parts of the desert. This safari is a must-do in Dubai, and with a guide like Ranjit, it becomes truly unforgettable.

Clean, modern, and interesting - but huge queues to get in and out (over 2h up, over 1h down) with toilet on wrong side of queue system causing tension when you need to get back to your family. If I'd have known the delays before and after I would have wanted Headout to provide upgrade option as I probably would have bought it to waste less holiday time in the queues.

The Dubai Frame's view of old Dubai and new Dubai was breathtaking. The staff there are very accommodating, especially Saleem — who took such stunning photos and videos of me. He even thought me how to pose for pics and move for videos and I loved the outcome. 🤭 We also had a short but informative conversation regarding the Dubai Frame. I also enjoyed a lot with Desert Safari. Our Tour guide — Najam picked us on time. He was very patient with us and was very approachable. He always made sure we are comfortable and are having a good time. A five star experience!

Both the Miracle Gardens & the Frame were great breathtaking experiences. Booking was easy and saved 13%, so thank you. One bad experience was the taxi ride from outside the gardens to the frame, where we were scammed to the tune of 483 Dirham (should have been approx 100) have since read that this seemed to be a common theme.... spoils a good day out, something needs to be done about it. Many thanks Barry.

Excellent place with lovely photo opportunities. We went around 4pm and were at the top within 15-20 minutes. Parking was a breeze. The views are very good and the place was not as crowded as Burj Khalifah and it only cost £10 per person compared to £37 for Burj Khalifah. I would personally recommend this instead.

Shoes: Closed-toe shoes, like sneakers or boots, are recommended to protect your feet from the hot sand and prevent sand from entering during activities like sandboarding and quad-biking.
- Avoid eating heavy or greasy food before the safari, as it can make you feel uncomfortable during the activities.
- Eat light and healthy meals, such as fruits, vegetables, and grilled chicken or fish.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially during the hot summer months.
Age restrictions: Most desert safari companies have a minimum age requirement of 4. However, some companies may have a higher age requirement for certain activities, such as dune bashing and quad biking.
Health restrictions: If you have any health concerns, such as heart problems or asthma, it is important to consult with your doctor before going on a desert safari.
Pregnancy: Pregnant women are not advised to participate in dune bashing or other strenuous activities.
Alcohol: Alcohol is not typically served on standard desert safaris. However, it is available at premium safaris for an additional charge.

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.

Desert Rollercoaster with Hassan!
Hassan was an absolute legend behind the wheel! His dune driving was like a desert rollercoaster — fast, fun, and totally safe. We were laughing, cheering, and hanging on for dear life (in the best way)! If you want a wild ride and a great time, ask for Hassan. 100% recommended!
