Best experience - Abdul Rasheed - We had an incredible experience with Abdul Rasheed, our driver for Emirates Tours & Safari LLC. From start to finish, he was exceptional—friendly, professional, and always ensuring our comfort. The dune bashing was absolutely thrilling, and Abdul made it even better with his expert driving skills.
Beyond that, he was incredibly attentive, helping us capture beautiful memories with photos and making sure we had the best possible experience. His hospitality and kindness truly made our desert safari unforgettable. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing adventure!

Desert adventure with a side of culture - We had such a fun time on this jam-packed tour, from the crazy driving (aka sand bashing) on the dunes, to petting camels, getting henna tattoos, smoking hookah, and watching amazing belly and fire dances. The camel ride was a bit underwhelming, lasting maybe a minute, and the falcon photo-op a tad gimmicky, but the sand surfing was cool to try and the RV ride worth the extra money. Food was solid - better than many buffets. All in all, a fun way to see the desert and get a taste of Arabian culture. We only had one day in Abu Dhabi and absolutely no regrets about spending a large chunk of it on this tour.

Wonderful experience in the Abu Dhabi desert - I love the desert. And for the first time I discovered that of Abu Dhabi, the Al Khamit desert, on an adventurous and adrenaline-filled afternoon on an unforgettable ups and downs among the golden dunes under a scorching sun.
I experienced that desert with EMIRATES TOUR and it was a beautiful experience. Emirates Tour is a world-class tour operator offering the highest quality services to an international audience. And in the jeep that came to pick me up at the hotel I traveled with Chinese and Uzbek tourists, spending a very intense and fun afternoon. Emirates Tour offers many different packages but I chose the desert safari: we raced in the jeeps on the dunes, stopped at a camel farm, took a camel ride, admired the sunset and tried surfing on the sand. And then, after the sunset on the dunes, the henna tattoos, the shoots with the eagles, and much more, we had dinner under the stars watching a wonderful dance show.
Among the most appreciated aspects are professionalism and attention to detail.
The service is tailor made even if carried out with other tourists and the quality of the services is excellent. The staff is uniquely kind.
I recommend it especially if you are on your first trip to the Emirates and Abu Dhani to discover the best of the city and the region.

Fantastic trip - On our last evening in Abu Dhabi, my friends and I went on the desert safari trip with Emirates Tours and Safaris. Our guide Abdul Rasheed picked us up from our hotel, he was amazing. Offered us water as soon as we got into the vehicle (it was 43 degrees outside) on our journey to the desert he pointed out interesting things for us, and explained all that we would be doing. The excursion itself was fantastic and would highly recommend. The dune bashing was hilarious, we screamed and laughed all the way round, we also had time to record other vehicles who were with us on the tour sliding down sand dunes. The camel farm 🐪 was lovely, the baby camels were adorable. When we stopped for photographs, Abdul took lots of pictures for us from all kinds of angles to get the best pictures we could have for our girly desert experience. Once in camp, we had the opportunity to ride a camel, tried on traditional clothing and had henna tattoos. The meal was delicious and the entertainment was fantastic. Could not recommend this excursion enough and if you’re lucky enough to have Abdul as your guide you will be in for a treat. PS Abdul, apologies again for our friend in the passenger seat who talked to you none stop for 2 hours 😂

Fabulous Evening - What a fabulous evening!
Roosal our driver contacted us before pick up and was on time, courteous and friendly throughout. Dune bashing was great fun, exciting and not too scary. Camel riding was short but an experience. Sand boarding was fun. The camp was well set out, bottled beer available (2 for 60Dhs). Entertainment was good and food was better than expected (hummus, fresh salads, bbq meats) and plentiful. All in all it was a very good evening at a fair price. We would recommend.
