About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Fahim R0 contributionsAbsolutely great 5 star experience for a Desert SafariFantastic 5 star experience. We had Harris. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Just superb. He went the extra mile to make me and my family feel welcome. Everything was well organised and the attention to detail was great. The dune bashing was great, Harris is highly skilled. You feel really safe at all times whilst you also get the full adventure experience. My advice - ask for Harris if you can and get booked on with Desert Fun Tourism. I see why they are number one on Tripadvisor!Written December 2, 2024

This was my third desert safari (I previously visited Wadi Rum in Jordan and Erg Chebbi in Morocco) and I found this one to be average. People who are only interested in the dune bashing might give this trip a higher score, but I also expect to see a bit more of the desert itself.
The pick-up was difficult because we received a whatsapp message just a few hours before the pickup, to say that we would be picked up half an hour earlier. However, most tourists have their 4G switched off in other continents, so not everyone had received this message. A text message would be more convenient to communicate with Europeans.
Before entering the desert, you'll stop next to the highway for a 10 minute camel ride or the quad bikes (extra charge). Honestly, this is a disaster. The camel ride was on the parking lot next to the highway and only lasted for 5 minutes. They love taking pictures of women but should rather clean their toilets - absolutely disgusting and a real tourist trap!
The dune bashing was really good, no bad word to say about this part. The sandboarding was also really nice, but was the only stop within the desert. So don't expect to have beautiful pictures of you in the sand as the place is overcrowded (7 vehicles stop at the same place at the same time), polluted with trash and there are industry sites and electricity cables in the back - not the Instagram picture you had in mind. Furthermore, as you both need to take pictures and try to sandboard, the time is very limited as well.
The desert camp at night was extremely touristic and not at all authentic, what happened to be the case in Jordan, so for me it gets not a real good rating. The food was simple but okay. The fire show was really good, but take earplugs with you as the music is really loud. The belly dancing show was simple and I've seen better performances as there is only one dancer and a 360° audience.
Overall ordinary score, I've had much better in the past.

Our safari guide, M Zaman, provided an experience to remember! Our family of 6, with kids ages 6-13, had so much fun! He picked us up on time from our hotel & drove us to the first stop, ATV riding. This was great, our older kids were able to drive & were ecstatic! Drank some cold waters & headed to the next spot where he expertly maneuvered the sand dunes in dune bashing. This was so exciting; we all got a huge thrill from this! Then he took photos of our family & the kids had fun with sand boarding. The last stop was the unique camp where we rode camels, held a falcon, watched dancing & fire show while eating a delicious meal of local cuisine. It was a jam-packed day of fun & excitement! We are so grateful for this memorable experience & highly recommend!!!

From the pick up moment to the drop off everything was smooth with the kindnes and professionalism of Salim. He also took some really nice pictures of me and my wife, he is also a nnice photographer. He was a lead driver of the group of around 10 cars and he was bashing the dunes as a pro, felt so safe and had so much adrenaline fun. I would always recommend Salim.

Our tour with Zaman was UNBELIEVABLE!!!! He was the most attentive host and couldn’t do enough for us. He made sure we had the best time ever….. he was great at taking pictures, bringing us water and making the trip fun. The quad biking was a thrill, the dune bashing was a great experience and the sand boarding was so funny. Couldn’t recommend enough, we went as a group of 5 girls. Great for a group of friends, the best host!

The safari with Shoaib was an absolutely fantastic experience. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best safari possible. The camel ride lasted a good amount of time with brilliant photos being taken throughout. Shoaib was an excellent driver for dune bashing and played music which created an awesome vibe. The photos we have in the desert are incredible. Our guide was so creative in capturing the experience. We were taken care of so wonderfully at the camp, food was delicious and entertainment was epic. I can’t recommend DXB tours enough. In particular Muhammad!

Today we returned from an evening safari and I am glad to share a great mood. Our guide was Salim. He selected the best ATV for us, took great photos, taught us how to ride a board on the dune and much more. Thank you very much!

After spending quite some time researching the options decided to go with dxb tours as they had quad biking included and were on entertainer as well. Messaged them a few weeks beforehand to book the tour. Pickup was on time at our hotel. Followed by 20 mins quad biking, Dune bashing, sandboarding which was then followed by the shows/activities/dinner. Everything was well planned and very enjoyable. Our driver/guide Shoaib was wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience, the best seats for the show, the best spots for our pictures and also took some wonderful pictures of us as well. Always checked in us to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the activity. On the way back he also treated us to some ice creams. Definitely recommend them for anyone looking for desert safari tours.

My family and I had a fantastic day doing the evening desert safari! We were picked up at 2.30 and driven by Mohsin who was very friendly and informative, giving us information on where we were and the history of the area as well as the national animals(which the kids loved). We did quad biking at our first stop followed by a camel ride and pictures with a falcon before moving on the the main event of a desert safari! What ever you have seen on tv will not do justice to driving through the dunes and experiencing this environment for yourself. After an exhilarating drive through the dunes we stopped for pictures and some sand surfing, again Mohsin was great, taking many pictures and directing us in to position for the best shot! After this we headed to camp for food and a show at sunset. The show consisted of a dancer, a belly dancer and a fire show that was absolutely fantastic, followed by another dancer. There was a lot of other people there but it wasn’t too busy to be a problem and there was more than enough food and drinks for everyone.
Once we were finished we were driven home by Mohsin, we did leave early as our youngest son was really tired from the day(he is 10), Mohsin was more than happy to accommodate this.
All in all, this was one of the highlights of our holiday, as a family we had a great day and both our sons(10 and 13) had a brilliant day. Mohsin was a great guide and fantastic company, really adding to our day.

Dear guest,
It sounds like you and your family had an absolutely incredible experience on your evening desert safari! Mohsin's friendly and informative guidance, along with his attention to detail in capturing memorable moments, truly made the day unforgettable. From quad biking and camel rides to experiencing the thrill of driving through the dunes, it sounds like a day filled with excitement and adventure. The sunset show at the camp, featuring various performances, must have been the perfect way to conclude such an amazing day. It's wonderful to hear that everyone, including your youngest son, had a fantastic time. Thanks for sharing your memorable experience – it's clear that Mohsin and the desert safari made your holiday truly special!
