- 290denisiaa00Excellent driverWe had an amazing experience and we really enjoyed it. The driver, Muqtadir Shah from Desert Gate is one of the best. We felt safe during the road trip and his driving skills didn’t disappoint. He informed us about everything and he was very friendly and patient. He also took us very beautiful pictures. Highly recommended him.
- S4336AFmohammedm00Lovely evening in the desertWe had an amazing afternoon and evening with Muqtadir Shah from Desert gate. Very friendly and informative. Took beautiful pictures of us and very experienced driver.Highly recommend him
- 672gurjitg00Excellent and skilful driver. Enjoyed well.Excellent experience during driving and very enjoyable evening in the camp and the dinner was delicious
- alizah57200Amazing!!We booked with the lovely Mohamed from desert gate from the hotel we were staying at. Our safari driver Akbar Ali was so friendly and greatly skilled at driving, we were safe and enjoying to the fullest. It was also great that Akbar Ali was a good photographer, so we made the most of his skill. The entertainment part was also a good experience, Highly recommend!
- luigibadjid00Unforgettable ridePerfectly prepared safari ride with great shows and delicious dinner. Special thanks to Ali for great atmosphere, professional, crazy ride and beautiful photos. Surly we will recommend the ride with him to our friends.
- 5michelinee00AmazingWe were very happy nice experience my daughters were very happy they ride the bike , camel and also we ride in the jeep at first it was scared but we enjoy it and love it we will come again our agent was great we feel safe with him I will never forget this day see you soon
- dave k00Dune bashing and buggy safariWe booked a buggy safari and due bashing through dessert gate and our guide Umer picked us up in his land cruiser and took us to the dunes and did some dune bashing, he was an excellent driver and a great guide who was very knowledge and a nice person. We then went to the buggy safari and they have the best buggies, very fast and one of the best things i have done. Well worth doing. Dave Keilit
- nathanwT3196MH00Morning desert 4WD experienceBooked private vehicle morning 4WD desert experience via concierge at Atlantis. Shajahan (our driver) was punctual, polite, and very welcoming. He's a very experienced dune basher, having done daily trips for 15 years. The camel rides are brief but all you need. The sand surfing is also a fun little experience the kids picked up very quickly. The LandCruiser 4WD is incredibly capable dune bashing, and we never felt unsafe, but my youngest gets car sick so we had to dial it down a bit to cater for him. That's the benefit of booking a private vehicle. Would happily recommend this company, and Shajahan in particular.
- Spole7900Fun In The DesertFun afternoon and evening where we experienced the beautiful desert. We added a booking for a Dune Buggy with Big Red and our guide Muqtadir managed the whole process effectively. The evening bbq was good, with a great selection of local food and bbq meats.
- W5893SEsimonam00The greate experienceIt was one of the most beautiful experiences I had in Dubai. I highly recommend this package. We had an exceptional guide, who made our visit to the desert even more beautiful, through the splendid pictures he took for us and through the show he gave us with his car.Surely this memory will remain in our hearts
- michaelzE9439WS00Amazingly BeautifulOur tour guide Muqtadir was very polite, happy, respectful & informative. He made us feel comfortable & safe. This was our first safari tour & highly recommend it. It was surreal.
- 231kathyq00AMAZING!!!We had an amazing time! Out travel guide, Muqtadir Shah, was absolutely the best and was a huge part of the reason why we had such a memorable time. He took great care making sure we got to all our designations in time. He helped pick out and put the head wraps on our heads and took the best pictures of us in the desert. He made sure we were well taken care of when we got to the BBQ dinner. He offered water the whole time during our excursion and talked about the landmarks and the history when we drove by them. Not that other people didn't have great tourist guides as well, but it was very distinguishable that Muqtadir Shah was by far the best. He definitely did more than his job! I don't know why he cares so much, but he truly does and it shows! Thank you so much Muqtadir!!!
- scampidoodle100Fantastic ExperienceWe did a dubai afternoon safari trip with food in the camp with entertainment. What an amazing experience from start to finish. Our driver was Muqtadir shah from desert gate tourism. What a fantastic man he was! He made us feel so welcome throughout the whole trip. He was very accommodating and informative on the drive. We came back with so much knowledge thanks to Muqtadir and we really appreciate this. I have no negatives about the trip, it was fantastic and well worth the money.
- 182nilama00Excellent Tour of DubaiExcellent private tour of Dubai with our guide Hesham! He was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us all the major sites in the new part of Dubai. Hesham was punctual and professional and made our day fun and enjoyable!
- sukhbird202300OutstandingExcellent trip, Awesome arrangements. The Driver Shah was outstanding. He really go out the way to help and guide the tourists. Great person. I wish him all the very best

We were so excited to go on this tour, but due to all the extreme rules with covid we couldn’t go. We had been to another country in Europe prior and according to Abu Dhabi it wasn’t approved. The man by the name of Mohammed who booked this excursion was well aware of our travels before he booked this excursion. The day of the excursion we were notified that we couldn’t go. We were upset but understood, so like anyone else would do….we requested for a refund. Mohammed gave me the run around for hours and never got back to me. I called him and expressed how upset I was because we weren’t able to attend the excursion for reasons out of our control. He said we couldn’t get a refund so basically he and his company stole $1000 usd from us. I’m furious and still can’t believe this. So please be aware so you don’t get scammed!

Booked the tour at my hotel with desert gate, smooth easy booking but very obnoxious and fairly rude man booking it for me: he needs to get some personality and friendliness, which will go a long way in helping to sell more tours! I would have booked 3 more tours otherwise. Has put me off for next time. Tour guide knew his stuff and was friendly but he was 1 hour late and then the maximum 15 people wasn’t true as there were over 20. There was more waiting around in the mosque, then an hour in there which was too long. 30 minutes would have been enough, to then be able to see more of Abu Dhabi. Quite possibly the worst tour I’ve ever done, not the tour guides fault but I have done a lot of tours and this was awful!

Dear Piixed5,
Thank you for your information. We would like to inform you that we are taking each comment as a valuable feedback to us, and that appropriate action has been taken. The time of the pick up for the sharing tours is approximate as this takes a while to pick up all of the guests, and standard sharing tour has a number of people according to the size of the bus. The tour follows assigned time for each place within the agenda which depends on the group. We do offer private tours if you would like to be more flexible in time and places you visit within the tour. In the future, if you come back to our wonderful city, please contact us again and we can organize some more tours for you.
Regards,
Akram Hajjar

An absolutely beautiful Mosque. We traveled from Dubai to Abu Dhabi (via Uber). Drive was approximately 90 minutes. $100 USD. ( Note, Uber is NOT available in Abu Dhabi. You must make arrangement with driver to wait for return! ) This is a MUST if you visit Dubai or Abu Dhabi. A great learning and cultural experience.

Absolutely beautiful mosque 🕌. Regardless of faith it is definitely worth a visit . Women must adhere to the dress code. If you forget , you can borrow a cover up caftan and head scarf. A most stunning place . We went as a tour package . It was very busy , hustled through the prayer room areas.

You have to visit regardless of faith. The craftsmanship is unparalleled. if you are a female you have to cover your hair and males need to wear pants. All attendees make sure not to have tattoos showing. Ohhhhhh, this might come off as strange but the restrooms alone are worth seeing.
