Absolutely incredible experience with TourDubaiDesertSafari.com! The website is user-friendly, making it a breeze to customize our desert safari. The dune bashing was an adrenaline rush, and the sunset camel ride was magical. The attention to detail in the itinerary and the seamless booking process exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for an authentic desert adventure!

We were lucky to get to know Mahmoud, he was our guide during all trip. He is a really nice person and was answering all our questions about everything during the quite long drive (about 1,5 hour from our place) to the dessert.
This is a unique duna bashing experience that is not offered anywhere else so make sure to try it out here!
The tour exceeded our expectations, tge dune bashing was really a bumpy ride and we felt the thrill!
The Land Cruiser was brand new, like powerful ATV.
ATV ride was not included in our package so we purchased it in the camp (250 dirhams).
Night show was really impressive to us, belly dance and traditional dances as well as the fire show where we literally felt the heat of the fire!
We had some snacks and dinner included, as well as unlimited tea and coffee, small henna tatoo, short camel ride and we could try-on some arabic clothes. A lot of more stuff such as scarfs, food, drinks, rides, arts can be purchased separately.
It was a bit cold evening, as locals said - very unusually cold, so we recommend to take some more clothes with you and keep in mind that you will spend a few hours sitting outside after sunset.

What I liked most about this tour - Dessert thrill?
1. A lot of experiences for a very good price and in one place.
2. Trustwirthy and experienced driver and tour guide. We felt safe during the dune bashing.
3. Mahmoud was always taking care of us so that we would get what we paid for and didn't miss anything.
4. Great night show.

I see people in reviews complaining about the short camel ride, which for me was really ok and I was even glad it was short. It was my first time to ride a camel and I was scared to try it so it was okay for me. You can always ask for a longer ride if you like it, but I was happy I didn't have to pay more just to try it out wheter I'll like it or not.
The travel from Dubai to the dessert takes some time but for me it was also ok, it was good to escape the city and see the surroundings and that dessert that was here before the Dubai was settled. It is a bigger and more 'real' dessert that the one that is closer to the city but it is as always up to you, if you want fast food or something better.

Overall, I recommend this tour since I think is is really good quality for the price.

Our desert safari experience was excellent. We had booked an early morning tour, so we went to the start point around 6 AM. From there, we entered 4x4s and drove around the desert for a while. The views were spectacular. We then stopped somewhere in the middle of the desert, and we were free to roam around. There was an eagle trainer who showed us some tricks with the Eagle, and also allowed us to hold it for some time! We also saw the sunrise, which looked amazing amongst the dunes. After that, we had a breakfast with local delicacies, which was very tasty. We tried sand boarding and did a camel ride too. Facilities at the area were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was good. Great experience.

The most unpleasant impressions from this excursion. Everything is not organized in the best way. There was no photo in traditional clothes, it was just written on Instagram for show. The driver (Saeed) guide we found was not attentive, not communicative and simply has no words. No one even explained anything to us. It's just a scam for tourists, where intrusive traders are trying to sell their goods and additional services. In the car we only listened to Indian songs, it's not interesting at all 😑 The included free services are just for show. For example, the promised henna tattoo on half a finger took 3 seconds, if you want more, pay. No one spoke Russian, although we took a Russian-language tour. We sat in the last rows in a Nissan Patrol car for 6 people. I don’t recommend taking the last row at all. You can’t see anything and it’s not fair. you pay money for whoever is sitting in front. It’s worth thinking about the content. After the safari, there is supposed to be a dinner and a performance. The theme of dinner for such a large number of people needs to be organized somehow differently. First, there is a wild queue for shawarma (it’s like an appetizer), and then a terrible queue for it. the main food (which was opened some time after the start of the show) and was not tasty. And the queue for the camel ride was terrible. And of course, improve the show program, it’s not good at all, guys (what is it! 2 oriental dances, a fire show for 5 minutes and these endless twirls from a dude in a skirt. Well, it's complete nonsense. It’s better to overpay for a good tour package, for a sea of impressions!!! I don’t recommend taking the excursion rus_safari_dubai

I'll start from the beginning, this excursion is sold for 40-45 dollars per person, we found it for 25 on Instagram, everything started well, we rode camels, it was worth the money, for an additional fee of course, complete delight. But then a guy with an eagle came up and planted his eagle on the child, then he told me to pay in a rude manner. My daughter was scared, I could have caused a row, but I didn’t want to scare the child, so I had to pay. The vacation was ruined, there should have been positive emotions, but this incident ruined everything.

Big NO, totally unprofessional, delay and time taking pickup, driver will take you to different camp first where you have to shell money, in the name of inclusive camel ride there is only one camel for 800 visitors, same for hina and dress photos, one have to pay extra money to sit on chair otherwise on floor, even if you pay extra there is no butler service ( one butler for 300 person), desert driver will start 4X4 without letting passenger to wear belt intentionally for fun with 100% chance of get injured, quality of dinner is sub standard and quantity is insufficient, don’t depend on it. You will find yourself as captive buyer. Don’t spoil mood with safari otherwise Dubai is beautiful man made creation enjoy it. Big NO to safari.

Desert safari was always a dream for us and

was a must to do activity in Dubai. We had a high expectations from the trip but it turned out to be a tourist fooling game. The ride in Desert through a was good but was limited to 10 mins only.In 10 mins we reached at camp.From all the promotions we had seen in Dubai, Desert Safari is accompanied by a Barbeque dinner. We paid a good amount of money per person .After reaching there we were asked if we would liked to be treated as VIPs or normal guests.They charged 60 dhirams extra for it. Those who did not take it were not given food until 9 pm. Those who paid were given dinner at 7 pm. There was no buffet and no Barbeque. The dinner was being provided in packed lunch boxes.Many who had asked for non vegetarian were given vegetarian lunch¹ boxes. Performances were ok.

All those planning for the trip should enquire properly about charges as after reaching there ,there is no option left but to give VIP treatment money to camp staff as they scare you to hell that if you will not take VIP pack you will have to stand in queues for dinner, you will get everything late.

Highy disappointed with the concept of Desert Safari.Would not recommend it to anyone. Desert safari camps are taking excuse of Covid and not serving food as per their marketing, after reaching camps they are forcing people to give them extra money for providing food and drinks. Low grade shows of 5 to 10 mins to fool people.Will not recommend to anyone.

We have priced a VIP formula with quad
The lovely driver picked us up and was really friendly
4*4 very clean
Arriving there we park and we are told that we are going to change cars meaning that we had privatized the car
We waited more than thirty minutes for the 4*4 for the safari, everyone went before us
We finally get in the car for the safari which should normally last 30 minutes. After about ten minutes we are at the camp, we are far from 30 minutes
In addition, a lot of plastic bottles on the ground, paper, really very dirty, not on the camp but when getting out of the car.
We are asked to choose our table in the VIP corner and we leave for the camel ride, finally 3 meters on the back of the camel if we want to go further we have to pay
Come meal time we were supposed to be served at the table but not at all we went to help ourselves to inedible dishes everything was very spicy
Very disappointing show full of waiting between numbers
Very very disappointed we had done a safari the previous year with another agency and nothing to complain about, everything was great
I strongly advise against this activity with this company

Customer service is awful. I asked for prices and options for a group and the person that spoke to me made me feel like they were doing me a favor by helping me out. They did not answer my questions or help me with my search. They sent me 2 screenshots of packages I iniatially told them I did not want. It seemed that they were not interested and did not read my message integrally.

Started the desert safari with our driver - Yousuf Sheikh, who picked us up from the basement of Time grand hotel - Dubai & drove us to the desert. Upon entering near he took us to the quad bike area where they also customise your name on bracelets & sell souvenirs & then we watched as he lowered the tyre pressure on his 4X4 & then began the dune bashing. In the middle of bashing, a photo stop was given for pics in the midst of desert & then onto the desert camp for henna / mehendi, camel ride, fire show & belly dance, along with meh tasting dinner.
If you've seen Shakira / Nora Fatehi's videos you'll agree that this belly dance in camp is just plain inferior & only for money grab.
Dress with woollens because it gets cold in the desert at night / evening.
