    Amazing Dubai experience!!
    This was an amazing experience. Our tour guides Ramish, Ozzy and Majid made sure of that. It was my first time doing ATV's and riding a camel but I'd definitely do it again. Safety was always a priority. The food at the BBQ was delicious along with great entertainment. Nothing but fun!

    The Dune experience
    Rasheed Ali was a very good guide and driver. His knowledge was first class and his driving skills excellent. Very friendly and had good English so easy to understand. I would certainly recommend him to anyone visiting the Dunes. 👍

    Amazing experience
    Our guide, Muhammad Nouman was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great info and tips. His driving skills were very good. It was a one of a kind experience. We went with our 3 young kids and we all had a great time. The dune bashing, food, and entertainment were all fantastic.

    I love this tour you have your own driver @ UEA since Dubai to Abu dabi. Muhammad was an excellent driver and really nice guy. If you are here take this tour. And I hope that you have the luck to be with Muhammad like a Driver.

    Best Value City Tour
    My family and o thoroughly enjoyed the city tour, it was very informative and packed with so many activities. We met some amazing people from all over the world. I do however suggest that they incorporate the Ferrari world entrance fee beforehand so the guests have the full experience. I must commend our tour guide and driver Aleem, what a great host👌

    Thanks for a great experience Safeer!
    Wow - highly recommended experience.
    There were 4 members of our family and we had a beautiful Landcruiser to ourselves with our guide Safeer.
    Safeer made sure we had the best time, fastracked us to the best dune buggy, took some amazing photos (which the other guides did not seem to be as interested in) and hooked us up with Fayez Abdullah at the desert camp who recommended the best menu of Arabic and Moroccan food.
    We felt like we got VIP treatment - thanks Safeer - would recommend the experience.

    I have posted a similar review with photos but it hasn’t come through - so no photos this time.

    Great experience🤩 but don’t book with Trip Advisor ⚠️⚠️⚠️
    I had a blast riding the jet ski. Staff were excellent, patient and polite. I lost my sun glasses went I fell in the water the guide was kind enough to let me used his because the heat was unbearable. I would recommend to go straight to the site and pay there because Trip Advisor charge me CA$206 for an hour and at the site it’s only CA$74 reach is 200Diram. Trip Advisor it’s ripe off. I filed a complaint to customers report against them so I can get a refund.

    The best water park
    Atlantis Aquaventure is amazing and the best water park I ever visited. Awesome fun with great adrenaline rides plus cater for little kids. Another great feature is floating tubes which can also be very adventurous with rapids.
    Very secure family friendly resort. Thankyou so much Shamin Nantambi

    A great way to see Dubai
    It was a great way to see Dubai without the stress of public transport, taxis and dealing with the unaccustomed heat.
    Our guide, Javid, gave us a good overview of Dubai and its growth and made sure we saw all the sights.
    The 'At the Top' ticket got us through without any hassles and was certainly worth the extra to do.
