About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 470MandyP0 contributionsGreat funA morning trip was ideal and just the right length of time. We had lots of fun and our driver Shihab was lovely and very accommodating. He kept checking we were ok and asking if there was anything we wanted to change etc, he was also a great photographer. You can feel a bit sick with the dune bashing as you are up, down, side to side but it’s great fun and exhilarating, just choose your breakfast wisely! Went down the dune on a sand board and stopped at the camel farm. Overall a great way to see the desert whilst in Abu Dhabi.Written February 14, 2025

- RooA910 contributionsAmazing Family Desert SafariWe booked the desert safari through this company because of the amazing reviews, and they truly lived up to the hype. Our tour guide, Kunhippa, arrived on time to pick us up and was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the entire journey. He shared useful tips, including what to do and what to avoid, like avoiding purchases at certain stops where prices were quite high. As a local, he clearly knows best. The entire experience was incredible! My 5-year-old absolutely loved playing in the beautiful sand and enjoyed every moment of it. In the evening, the local performances were outstanding. My 5-year-old was captivated, and even my 1-year-old couldn’t stop dancing to the beats. Thank you for making this such a memorable experience for our family, especially since we were only in town for two nights while transiting from Paris back home to Melbourne. It was absolutely worth it. A special thank you to our guide, Kunhippa, for his excellent service!Written January 18, 2025
- yannisd7440 contributionsRollecoaster ride 😁We had a blast thanks to Shafeel, our driver, who explained to us numerous interesting facts about the desert plus gave us more sensations than in a rollercoaster thanks his incredible piloting skills among the dunes. What a ride ! 😎 A real must if you are travelling to Abu DhabiWritten January 17, 2025
- mirkosE1989WE0 contributionsUnforgettable desert experienceWe requested and received a gentle tour into the desert. We visited a camel farm, were able to ride camels and tried sandboarding. Everything without hectic and stress. Our driver was very friendly, especially when dealing with the children. Contacting and booking through the agency was quick and uncomplicated. We are visitors from Germany.Written January 17, 2025
- Maringueta0 contributionsperfect!The trip was perfect. The attitude of the drivers was patient and fun. We were a family of 10 people. Everyone enjoyed it, both the adults and the little ones. The attitude of the contact person and the drivers was perfect. They were very considerate. The food was also good!Written January 15, 2025
- 25ahsanr0 contributionsTruly Family friendly!I chose khat tours for a morning desert safari with my wife and 2 kids (4-yo and 13 month). Our guide Safsil was professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, and a very skilled driver. We all had a great time and it was definitely the most memorable moment of our trip to Dubai. Next time we are in Dubai, I will not hesitate to book another safari with Khat.Written January 13, 2025
- laraaB6936BB0 contributionsGreat experience for familiesWe were in Abu Dhabi for work and looking for something fun/special for our children (ages 2 and 7). This was wonderful! Our guide Haris was kind and patient with kids. Seeing the sunrise over the desert was magical. Our whole family will remember this trip!Written January 13, 2025
- Peter S0 contributionsThe highlight of our tripWe had an absolutely fantastic time in the desert with our 4 y/o and 3 y/o thanks to Mayan! We got to do things at our pace and he gave great insights into the history of Dubai. Despite representing great value, we could tell that we benefited from a premium desert experience and the food at the camp was delicious. Definitely the highlight of our trip- thank you!Written January 6, 2025

- jo_olW8001CZ0 contributionsGreat funGreat trip and ride to the desert. We have enjoyed a lot the dunes and the views, the kids loved the thrill of driving in the sand. The Guide and driver Haris was very helpful and great at handling the gears and the ups and downs. The desert is a peaceful place, no sound no rush. I recommend the trip.Written January 5, 2025
- Dreamer7912170 contributionsDesert safari with Kunhippa @Khat ToursKunhippa provided us with an excellent day out for our family and took good care of our small ones on the trip. Apart from his safe driving, he was very kind to photograph our entire day on his own initiative and bring a surfboard for the kids to surf down the dunes. Highly recommend the company and Kunhippa. thank you!Written January 4, 2025
- zolt_nm2390 contributionsgreat tustworthy companyWe had a great time with Khat Tours. We wanted a shorter ride with our family, as we were having a 12 month old baby with us. We had many complications in the morning due to our side - our cruise ship arrived later to the port as we thought, so the driver had to wait for us more than an hour. We could communicate all long though whatsupp - he was extremely patient and nice with us. Sharafu - the driver was really fantastic. Humorous, flexible, great English - very symptatic guy. We went with a toyota landcruiser to the dunes - some pics with the camels - great tour, even with the baby- just slowly and shortly- as we requested. Thanks Sharafu!Written January 3, 2025

We had a truly fantastic time! We were looking for a private, kid-friendly tour that was suitable for our family of 5, with 3 kids aged 10, 8 and 2 and this was perfect. Safs was very proactive in communicating with us as soon as the booking was made and also checked in with us closer to the tour date. Our guide, Jaafar was very helpful and accommodating throughout the trip. He explained the itinerary along the way - 1st pitstop was to deflate the tyres for dune bashing, so you can check out the small shop, cafe or wait at the air-conditioned waiting room while he does that. The toilets at this pitstop were clean and well maintained too. 2nd part - off to the desert dunes and final stop is at the campsite before heading back. The tour package is as advertised and more - dune bashing, sand boarding, camel riding and ending the evening at a premium campsite for dinner and a variety of entertaining performances. We left our hotel (in Downtown Dubai) around 3 pm and got home by 10 pm. Location is just under an hour from Downtown Dubai, closer to Sharjah. Some tips: Aim to be at the dunes by 4.15 pm before more of the other tour cars arrive and also to allow some time to do other activities (at an additional fee and operated by other companies) within the area e.g. quad bike riding . Overall, highly recommended and would definitely want to return in future!

The trip was really easy to book via WhatsApp and we were picked up from outside our accommodation at 9am. The trip we had booked included a camel ride, dune bashing and sand boarding but when we arrived there was also the opportunity to pay additionally for dune buggies. We were two adults and three children aged 13, 11 and 7. The whole trip was really enjoyable. The kids all loved the dune bashing and our very friendly driver kept checking with us to make sure everyone was having fun. He also took some amazing photos of us in the desert. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to do a desert safari with children.

Great from start to finish. On booking Dulmini whatsapped me and helped to organise the pick up and answered a y questions we had.
Rasheed collected us in a private spotless car from the Byblos Marina (15min from our hotel). He was lovely, so helpful and gave us a fab tour of the dunes, first we stopped to ride buggies while we waited for other guests. Rasheed stopped for us to take photos which he helped us with, sand boarding for the kids... Then we went to the camp, which was beautiful with a welcome of arabic coffee, rose drink, typical sweet pastry. We could walk to the top of a dune for the sunset, do a camel ride, hold falcon, do henna painting, shisha etc... all staff were so friendly. Then an amazing show with dancing, fire show, belly dancing, twirling dances... The buffet was top class with lots of typical dishes, hummus, fatoush, tabbouleh, also Indian dishes like butter chicken, dahl tadka, rice, naans etc. and you could get soft drinks from the bar. Toilets were spotless and everything at the camp was clean.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any family!!!!

Our driver, Sharaf, was really great. The car was very clean and in great condition. Sharaf was really attentive and accommodated a slow and careful driving as one of my kids (7yo) was scared. He was also very helpful explaining the experience and guiding us around. My oldest (10y) really enjoyed the sand boarding (albeit I was scared on how many cars were driving in the dunes at the same time!).
We were pleased with the tour and definitely recommend it.

Our driver was kind and considerate and calm :) I emailed before the trip as I needed to find a tour which could accommodate my youngest son who is autistic and can also suffer from motion sickness! He took all of this onboard and in fact there was no problems at all! My older son 14 also had a great time too. Having our own driver and vehicle was worth it and I also felt that if there was anything he did not want to do it’s was no problem. Thank you

We have 3 kids, 3,6,8 years old and they LOVED this experience.
Sharaf was our driver/guide- he was a very good driver… gave the kids a good adventure in the dunes and we felt very safe. They still want to go back and do the ‘crazy driving’. 😎
He helped the boys to sand surf and took some good photos for us.
The ATV was a favorite for my 8 year old. The 6 and 3 year old rode w us (2people per ATV).

Around 1230 we got picked up from the hotel by Kunhippa. The child seat was already in the car, just as bottles of water. He was very friendly and explained a lot during our trip to the desert.
When we wanted a quick snack along the way he took us to a local super market which was cheap.
We enjoyed the quad bikes with our 4 year old. She loved it!
Dune bashing was also fun with a lot of laughs. Kunhippa made sure he took it slow and made it safe for everyone in the car.
The camp we ended up was nice and clean. There were 4 shows and the food was very good.
Overall a 5* experience for our family. Thanks Kunhippa, we had a great day with you!

Our driver was great and catered to all our personal needs. We all enjoyed the experience, got a chance to quad bike, experience the dunes and an amazing dinner with a camel ride included.
The entertainment was way better than expected, especially the fire show which had our kids mesmerized.
The food was also top quality
Highly recommended

Wow, wow. Great! We loved it. Worth every penny. Activity that will remain in our memory forever. Durations were sufficient stacking. Very satisfied. We recommend without hesitation especially for 12 to 16 year olds who can drive their own quad unlike elsewhere
