I loved everything. It was an amazing family adventure. Our tour guide Sadeem was so paitient with us when we were late, and the agency was gracious enough to accomodate picking us up from another location than earlier stated. We enjoyed visisting the beautiful desert for the first time and all the activities that came with it. Our guide encouraged us to do the activities that we were hesitant to do saying, "This is once in a lifetime experience you must have when you visit the dessert." The quad bike ride was fun, and exciting. I was apprehensive at first, but with time I got the hang of it. The dune ride was exhilerating and the highlight of the day was the night time activities, the camel rides, the barbeque dinner and show. Also, it was nice to be dropped off apartment safely afterwards.

Our tour guide Najeeb really made the tour. He was friendly, kind and very funny. Experience was fantastic, didn't ride the camels as I don't agree with using animals for money but everything else was fab and highly recommended.

We had the best safari experience with Mohamed Fawzi! He is truly the best driver, guide, and photographer all in one. His driving skills made the desert ride both thrilling and safe, his knowledge and guidance made the trip unforgettable, and his photography skills captured every moment perfectly. Highly recommend him if you want the ultimate Dubai safari experience!

Our desert safari in Dubai was an unforgettable highlight of our trip, and it was all thanks to Yasir. He made the entire experience thrilling and enjoyable, from the exciting dune bashing to the adventurous sand boarding and the serene camel ride. Yasir was incredibly cooperative, attentive, and ensured we were comfortable at every step. He also captured our moments with amazing photos that looked like they were taken by a professional. Yasir truly made this experience special, and I would highly recommend booking with him for anyone visiting Dubai.
