          Desert adventure
          The tour was very well organized, just the right amount of time for every activity. Our guide Prasanth was super knowledgeable and reassuring, making sure we were comfortable and having fun every step of the way. The desert is magnificent, and it is a special thing to be able to experience it, so this adventure is not to be missed. Loved the dunes, the camels, and the buggy ride, very exciting and adrenaline fueled.

          Guided Tour By Prasanth
          Our desert tour was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the adrenaline rush of quad biking to the thrilling and wild ride through the breathtaking dunes, every moment was perfectly organized. The evening concluded with a private barbecue dinner in the desert, followed by a cozy campfire under the starry sky, complete with marshmallows—a truly magical ending. A special thank you goes to our driver, Prasanth, who was not only incredibly attentive during the tour but also went above and beyond afterward to return items we had accidentally left in the vehicles. Communication with him was seamless, quick, and exceptionally reliable—a level of service that’s rare to find these days. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, and especially to Prasanth! This tour is absolutely worth recommending!

          Wonderful day
          Wonderful family day out. Picked up right on time before driving to a camp for great fun quad biking. Followed by dune bashing and sand boarding before heading to the camp. The camp was great fun. Good food, entertainment, camel rides etc before being retuned back to our hotel. I did a lot of research before coming to Dubai and so glad I found destination insight. Our tour guide Chacko was amazing, telling us about Dubai and he couldn’t do enough for us. Would recommend this company to anyone they were amazing

          Desert Safari and Private BBQ
          Thank you to the Destination Insight team for a truly unforgettable desert safari. Our experience was specifically tailored for our young family which meant we all had an amazing time. The views at our location were simply breathtaking and everything had been considered to keep us fully entertained. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, the tent was beautifully decorated and the little touches meant so much. Thank you to the team for core memories we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend the Destination Insight team highly enough. We will be booking again when we return.

          Memorable desert day out!
          We had an amazing day with the Destination Insight team yesterday - sand boarding, dune bashing, camel riding etc! We were 2 families (kids aged 7-14) and everyone LOVED it. It was extremely well organised and our 2 drivers/group leaders were brilliant - a BIG thank you Salim and Mayan for giving us all a truly memorable day. The evening camp itself was such a lovely setting, with great performances and delicious food. We will definitely book again! :) :)

          Family owned business dedicated to your happiness
          This family owned business has the kindest team. Our trip hit an unexpected snafu due to construction and Mary, Ali and Prashanth adjusted beautifully. Dinner in the dunes with evening sand boarding was so fun! Our specified vegetarian dinner with multiple vegetable dishes and delicious bread was perfect. We booked the trip in order to see oryx and gazelles and they ensured we did. Really nice and professional company. Roasting marshmallows at the private campfire while absorbing the peace of the desert was especially enjoyable. You won’t regret choosing this group.

          Would book with DI again
          My husband and I booked a private sunrise safari with Destination Insight so we could pursue the activities that most interested us. Ali picked us up at our hotel at 5AM and we drove out to the desert. The vehicle was new, clean, and very comfortable...yet perfect for dune bashing! We had a blast going dune bashing, watching the sunrise (his timing was impeccable), sandboarding, and enjoying a wonderful breakfast before doing a half hour dune buggy outing. We were back at our hotel in time for lunch. Ali could not have been more informative and personable. Big recommendation for Destination Insight!

          Desert experience
          Desert Safari experience was a highlight of our holiday and our tour guide Baiju was excellent. He gave us tips regarding Dubai but mostly made sure we’re enjoying ourselves, took pictures of us and made sure we had a brilliant unforgettable experience. Dune bashing was such a must and we felt safe as Baiju was a great driver. Great food and entertainment show at sunset, delicious traditional food and atmosphere. Thank you Baiju Andra&family

          Amazing Experience from an Amazing Tour Operator!
          We arranged for a private tour to include pickup from our apartment, 1 hour dune buggy, dune bashing and sand boarding. Communication throughout with Ali and Sara was excellent as was the driver Baiju. He made the dune bashing experience one never to be forgotten. The dune buggy was done by a third party and whilst it was great fun the vehicle had some problems which meant that we only actually got to drive it for 30minutes. Destination Insight arranged for a refund of half the price of the one hour dune buggy cost. I would highly recommend Destination Insight for your Dubai adventure trips. They are a helpful, friendly and honest company. Thanks again Ali and team!

        If you want to make wonderful memories this is the trip for you.
        We booked the day trip with remote overnight camping which was amazing waking up at 5am to see the sunrise over the dunes.
        My daughter was struggling with heat stroke but our guide Baiju who was wonderful looked after us and never left our side. We also received a call from Mary in the UK to see if we were ok. It can be scary in a foreign country when you’re unwell but these guys couldn’t have done more to make us feel safe.
        The remote camping was incredible, we were greeted by a campfire, marshmallows and drinks. We got up at 5am and Baiju who we nick named Mr B was there taking photos and once again looking after us.
        The team made us breakfast in the teepee before heading home.
        I can’t thank Mr B and Mary enough for looking after us to make wonderful memories and experiences we will never forget. Xx

        We did dune bashing, sand surfing (the kids 9 and 11 yo) were great, I was terrible; BBQ and private camping.

        The camping experience was so calm and a perfect end to our full day and Our time in UAE.

        Would definitely recommend for families, but I could see the appeal for friend groups and couples as well!

        Thank you
