  Very little to see very little to offer

  There was very little to see and offer during the activity. The quad biking was an additional cost and was the only worthwhile experience. The camel ride lasted only five minutes, falconry was lacking, and the dancing was unimpressive.

  One of the best camp/desert/food experiences lived.

  The experience was truly outstanding. The hospitality of the team was wonderful, and the buffet featuring fresh ingredients deserves a perfect rating. We travel frequently and have enjoyed many luxury excursions, but this one stands out.

  Amazing tour

  I just finished a seven-day tour in Dubai, and it was fantastic, largely due to our driver, Mohammed Riaz. He was not only professional and punctual but also incredibly supportive throughout the journey. Mohammed drove safely and ensured our comfort at all times. His friendly demeanor and patience made it easy to enjoy the experience, and he provided valuable insights about the sights we explored. His knowledge of the routes allowed us to save time and avoid heavy traffic, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the tour. He was consistently respectful and always willing to assist with taking photos, handling our luggage, and recommending great places to visit. Thank you, Mohammed Riaz, for making our Dubai tour so delightful. I highly recommend him to anyone in search of a dependable and friendly driver.

  Best Travel Experience I’ve Had Anywhere in the World

  Traveling around the globe, I can confidently say this was one of my best experiences. The tour offered exceptional value for all that was included. From easy hotel pickup to the exciting 4x4 ride over the red dunes (which I upgraded on-site), camel rides, sandboarding, Arabic makeovers, an amazing BBQ buffet, cultural performances, and stargazing in the desert, each aspect of the adventure surpassed my expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, enriching the day with insights into the local culture. The level of service and hospitality from the tour company was remarkable from beginning to end. It was so impressive that I booked another tour with the same company just days later, which speaks volumes. If you’re thinking about this experience, go for it. It’s truly unforgettable.

  Very disappointing

  The nighttime experience sounded fantastic, but it fell short of expectations. I cannot recommend this since the promised activities were not provided. We began the day with a 45-minute drive to a meeting room, where we were approached by salespeople trying to sell perfumes, scarves, and jewelry. After that, we only had time for two runs on the sand boarding, as there were just four of us in the group. We then had a 30-minute Dune Bashing session, during which we waited 20 minutes for another car that never arrived. While the dune bashing was enjoyable and included a photo stop, our driver provided no information during the ride to our dinner. Upon reaching our final destination, the driver informed us that he would wait in the car and that we should return when we were ready. We had anticipated an incredible evening filled with authentic Arabian clothing, a Falconry show, fire show, belly dancing, an Arabian horse show, and a camel show, but none of that occurred. When we inquired about it, we were told it was due to the off-peak season. Overall, this was overpriced and lacked value for money.
