Mr Chandran did a great job, he even included experiences for my boys we hadn't initially planned which they loved. We brought an 11 month old but were still able to get the full and very importantly also a safe experience.
Camels, falcon show, dune bashing, sand boarding and desert sunset viewing. All the things we wished for! Thank you Mr Chandran and Khat tours, I highly recommend this tour company, and especially for families since it's hard to find tours that allow small kids for a reasonable price with great quality!

Our tour guide Safzal was amazing we had such a lovely time on the desert safari. Safzal was very informative and pointed out all the major attractions as we drove along the motorway. He drove very carefully on the sand dunes as we had a toddler with us. The camp itself was very nice the BBQ buffet was very tasty and the entertainment was good too. I definitely recommend this tour company and having Safzal as your tour guide it is worth paying a bit extra for a private car. Thank you for all your help Safzal and making our desert safari enjoyable

I decided to try a desert safari because this is the thing that everyone visiting Dubai especially for the first time must try. Moreover, as mostly a city dweller, I have never seen and experience a desert before which makes it more interesting. I decided to book Khat tours mainly because of the positive reviews. So I reach out to them to arrange a private tour as it allows me to better control the tempo and itinerary.
My guide/driver was Sharaf and we set off in a very comfortable land cruiser. Along the way, Sharaf share his stories and experience about Dubai having live here for 20+ years. Have to say the tour is rather enjoyable and the sand bashing driving through the desert is particularly exciting. Sort of like a roller coaster through the sands as the car banks left and right climbing the dunes. I was quite concerned the car will topple over during the ride but my driver was very experienced so no worries. The weather in the desert was surprising cool and not as hot as I expected and the views were beautiful.
The only negative in the tour was the camp site where we had our dinner and enjoy some live fireworks performance at the end of the tour. The food was rather mediocre to be honest as its mass produced to cater to the crowd. The live performance with dancing and fire works were very good but rather short, wish it had been longer. The toilets were very dirty and un-usable, not to mention slippery and can be dangerous. I understand the camp site is run by a 3rd party company but perhaps Khat tours could have chosen a better one.
All in all still a fun tour and the sand bashing was worth the price alone.

This tour was exactly what we wanted out of the day. The ATVs were so much fun and Sudeesh was incredibly skilled at dune bashing and made for a great guide. On the way to the camp, you pass a few others that are crowded and gimicky, but once you arrive at the camp it’s clear this is not the same. The food was great and entertainment was fun. If you’re looking for something more private and less touristy it is definitely worth the additional cost for a nicer camp. Highly recommend

Firstly, I would just like to Thanks Safsal for the whole experience from start to finish!
I came across Khat Tours on trip advisor as I was concerned on whether I should book a dessert safari with my toddler. I had read reviews on how safe, friendly they are and how they cater the private dessert safari to your needs. An most of all it was a bargain, the price Khat tours offered was brilliant as my hotel quoted me 3 times more!!!
I must say after returning from the dessert safari experience, I can vouch for the tour group especially our driver Safsal who is a real gentleman. He advised us on what to do at each place, he ensured a carseat was available for our little 2yr old, he made sure she was safe and happy at all times which inevitably made it a great fun night for my husband and I.
I really wish I had more time in Dubai so I was able to book more excursions with Khat tours. Insha Allah when I visit Dubai again I will definitely be booking all my tours with them.
Thank you for the wonderful experience Khat Tours and Safsal :)

We had an amazing experience on our Desert safari with Khat Tours . Safsal our tour manager and guide for the Safari was brilliant with his driving skills in the dunes and very considerate with the needs of our young child . He also ensured we had a VIP treatment at the camp , where we had preferred seating and all the food and drinks served at our table, our vegetarian dietary preference were well taken care off . The entertainment specially the Tanura dance was world class . Overall a must do and a great experience for the family .

Booked Dubai Desert Safari through Jaffer and Afsal from Khat Tours. We were picked up from the hotel around 2:15 pm(compared to 3 pm for standard operators) and driven into the desert. They took us to the Quad Biking areas and we did quad biking for 30 mins. Then they took us to the sand dunes for the desert safari and the kids did sand boarding too privately(not something everyone offers). Then we took pictures in the background of the sunset and then headed to the actual camp for the various shows and dinner. Overall a very pleasurable experience, handled expertly by top quality operators, who know what they are doing! Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Chandran went over and above to make our trip special. He looked after our needs, found the best place for sand boarding & sunset dune photos and was able to dial up / down the intensity of the desert drive. The camp dinner and entertainment was great. Thank you!

We took our family including two children aged 3 and 6 and grandparents. There was something for everyone and we ended the day with lots of memories. Kanhippa, our tour guide, arrived promptly at our hotel with car seats, as requested. We opted to purchase the extra dune buggy driving. For us, it was worth the money at £210 for 4 people as we have some petrol heads in the family. Kunhippa, took lots of photos and we all had a laugh at sand boarding. The camp was magical. The setting, food and entertainment were great. Our night was quiet with a few empty tables, so we felt safe to let the children roam a little and play in the sand. Everyone could have a camel ride, even our little one so she was very happy! One thing that surprised me was how many other jeeps were in the desert. A lot of tour companies seem to follow a similar itinerary but it did not ruin our experience. Just busier on the sand dunes than I would have expected. Overall we had a really lovely time and would highly recommend this company.

The Dubai desert tour was an incredible experience, made even better by our attentive and helpful driver, Sharaf.
From the moment we embarked on the journey, Sharaf ensured our comfort and safety every step of the way. This was really critical as we had a 2 yo baby with us. His knowledge of the desert terrain and willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate our needs truly enhanced the excursion.
Whether it was sharing interesting facts about the desert or stopping at picturesque viewpoints for photo opportunities, Sharaf's hospitality made the tour unforgettable. I highly recommend this desert tour for a memorable adventure in Dubai's breathtaking landscape.
