About
Originally established in 1989, we are one of the oldest tour operators of our kind in the UAE and have built up decades of experience. We want to create lifelong memories of Dubai and the surrounding area for each and every guest and have successfully achieved this for thousands of satisfied visitors over the years, including many famous celebrities, musicians and sportspeople. Having been in the business for so long, we were the first company in Dubai to offer dhow boat cruises. Dhow boats are masterfully handcrafted wooden boats, traditionally used throughout the Arab world for hundreds of years for trading and transport. With dhow cruise building now a dying art, you can see this amazing creation of history firsthand on one of our cruises. Among the best dhow cruises in Dubai, we run a fleet of eight beautiful dhow boats covering different areas of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Each of these have been luxuriously decorated, allowing us to provide the best sightseeing experiences.

Our family of 4, (2 adults, 2 kids aged 12 and 14) only had one full day in Dubai so we decided the "Best of Arabia" whole day tour would cram as much as possible in. We we picked up at about 8am from our hotel door and were taken on a city sights tour followed by a cruise. Both were excellent and thoroughly enjoyable, even in 44 degree heat!
We had a stop off at a market which was fun then back to the hotel for a few hours. Perfect to have a swim or catch up on some sleep. We were picked up again at our hotel door later in the afternoon then were driven out to the desert for such an incredible evening. We stopped at a dune buggy rental area where we hired 2 buggies and zoomed off on such a fun adventure. The kids LOVED it! We were guided to a spot where we had the option of photos with a falcon so of course we had to oblige! They took the pics with our camera and it was about $5 Australian each. Bargain! Back on the buggies to the camp our driver then provided up with very much needed bottled water as we headed onto dinner. We were greeted with dates and Arabian coffee and taken to our table, very close to the stage. The buffet and cold soft drinks were fantastic. The show was great too, 5 performers, finishing up with a belly dancer. My daughter and l had free henna tattoos and we also enjoyed a free camel ride at the dinner camp. We were driven back to our hotel and arrived back about 10pm. Our driver was Aziz K, and he was friendly and helpful, taking beautiful photos of us as the sunset in the desert. What a magical experience. A treasured day. Thank you all so much. Highly recommended!!

Highly recommended experience, our guide and driver Qaisar was very kind and patient. I did the tour alone and both the guide and the different collaborators were always attentive to me and helped me answer all my questions, they were also super friendly and offered to take photos so that I wasn't just stuck with selfies;). The tour was very organized and on time,
The weight in the Dunes in the car and on the motorcycle were an unforgettable and very fun experience, the sunset in the desert was incredible, the music and dance show spectacular, the fire dance not to be missed! and delicious dinner.
Thanks for a nice afternoon.

4wd-ing through the sand dunes was SO much fun, and our driver Aziz was an incredibly experienced guide, and an absolutely lovely man. He also stopped out in the dunes, giving us opportunities for some stunning photos, and, as I was travelling solo, kindly offered to take some photos of me enjoying this AMAZING desert experience.
Arriving at the Fort, I was blown away by the beautiful location... appointed with lanterns and ambient mood lighting, and beautiful architecture showcasing the traditional Dubai.
Food, service, and hospitality provided was exceptional, and I was happy to pay additional costs to enjoy a delicious mint Shisha, and have my hands painted in henna.
This experience was an absolute highlight of my time in Dubai and I highly recommend this tourism provider to anyone wishing to enjoy a really authentic and highly unique experience.

Rating 1 because I cannot rate Zero!
Worse company ever, useless customer service and very disorganized.
Tour Dubai was informed of guests contact number changed twice, and reassured that it was no problem.
Finally 10minutes after pick up we were charged fully for a no show for not answering the phone (the wrong number) when 4 of us were waiting at the pic up point. They lied about waiting 30minutes at pic up point when as the email arrived 10minutes after the pic up time and no one was really there.
Never buy a tour with them, they are useless and incompetent.

Went on an amazing half day trip with my friend! We took the program with dune bashing, sunset photos, dinner and all went perfectly. Starting from the pick up from the hotel in a comfortable car with a very professional driver Khalil, and after all having a fun ride in dunes and getting a delicious dinner in the dessert - all these memories are unforgettable. The camp is very modern, has a huge varsities of activities, such as camel and horse riding, henna painting, national costumes photo shoots and many more. If you are looking for a luxury tour - this is 1000% the best option for that

My favourite part of the experience was, of course, the dune bashing. The revs, slides, and swerves were truly thrilling, especially the occasional drifts that sent the sand flying. All in all, a 10/10 experience. The cherry on top was the guide, who was quite convivial and helpful.

The tour day was one of the most memorable days of our lives. The excellent journey became more beautiful with excellent food. In the dinner place a lady named "Tabassum" made incredibly beautiful authentic ornaments with Indian henna on my hands.

We took a buggy ride through the desert, then the safari and dinner with the guide Mustafá, who provided us with a very pleasant tour with his hospitality and patience, explaining the local traditions and characteristics. Everything was excellent. Experience that will forever remain in our memories!!

My 11 year old son and myself did the Dubai City Tour today with our Travel Guide Malik whom was extremely knowledgeable and very polite. We enjoyed the tour very much and my son enjoyed our three day stay in Dubai.
We also went to the Aquarium and Underwater Zoo in the Dubai Mall which was awesome. We saw the Water show at the Dubai fountain and that was magnificent.
We also did the 4WD Sand dune bashing with the dinner and my son enjoyed quad bike riding (kids size quad bike) and the Laguna Waterpark.
Dubai you have amazed us and we will be back. We stayed at the Rove hotel and it was of high standard.
