Star gazing - Amazing experience, really well but together schedule with a great host who was very good at getting the group talking to each other. Transportation good , food good , activities good. Would highly recommend

Wonderful time in the desert - I wasn't sure at first if we were too old at over 50, because the pictures on the internet usually only show young people. The group was totally mixed. It was a wonderful experience with great food and a clear starry night.

Stars galore, adventurous celebrations and great laughs! - I just want to express my sincere gratitude for everything that contributed to an incredible weekend at Al Quaa, celebrating my friends birthday with friends this past weekend, especially the ones behind such a memorable trip! - Elias- I understand this may have been Elias’ first time leading - he was excited, enthusiastic, caring, and made every single person feel welcome. - ⁠Deepa was part of another group, but I met her at the Dubai pickup location, and she went around warmly introducing herself to everyone, and assisted with bringing me the cake ice box that I needed in holding my cake. She wasn’t even part of our group, and she led a helping hand- she’s also very very cool, obviously. - ⁠Rizwan- I don’t know where to begin. I had reached out to Arabian wanderers a while back about concern for a birthday cake I wanted to bring to the desert for my friends birthday and was told I can use the fridge, but day of, I learned there were many participants and the fridge may be full, which to be honest - upset me. I realized maybe I should have reached out again to confirm closer to the date, but I was upset that the cake would melt and be destroyed and my friend wouldn’t be able to get a surprise moment I planned. Arabian Wanderers had Rizwan contact me and he asked details about cake size and confidently said he would figure it out and that - he did. He told me Elias would have an ice box ready for me to bring with us and it would be no issue. That’s the ice box Deepa handed over and then Elias gently tucked onto the bus, discreetly, without my friend (who was sitting right there) noticing. When we arrived, he also discreetly removed the cake ice box and I didn’t see it at all until I asked for it after dinner. It was so smooth (impressive, as the cake and the ice box was not small). Elias helped with the lights and surprise birthday cake appearance while Rizwan was helping the group with the fire and roasting, helping me distract my friend, helping me record this beautiful moment - everyone had such a great time. Rizwan, Elias and the cooks/helpers were asking what I needed next and helped with cutting and serving the cake slices to all. They helped tuck the cake away, saving for us to return to Dubai the next day. Honestly, I know it may have been a stressful weekend with so many group participants and ensuring timely running of schedules, so the fact that they made me, and my friends, feel so taken care of and for this moment, this cake, to be such a priority, it’s not something that I take lightly. I am so beyond impressed with how every single member handles any situation with grace, patience, care and a positive demeanor. I think sometimes we look at positions or days as jobs/ tasks completed successfully or unsuccessfully and forget that it takes a lot for something minute like a cake to be handled with no issues. Everyone on my instagram stories have marveled at how a cake that large lasted in the desert. This is my second time seeing Rizwan oversee a new leader on one of these overnight trips, and he is a special individual - very special. He genuinely just wants everyone to be happy and goes above and beyond to make sure he can get that extra smile of satisfaction from all. Elias is following the same path and it brought me joy.

Truly unforgettable desert trip - An amazing night under the stars. Beautiful sunset and subset in the Arabian desert. Loved this trip..Incredible organization and professionalism. Thank you, Deepa for your care and hospitality!

Dubai solo traveler, great trip - It was an amazing experience! I have also already been on the Jebel Jais trip with Arabian Wanderers and had to go for another one! And will go on another trip with them in the future inshallah as well. I went solo to both but would say Jebel Jais was more solo traveller friendly as Al Quaa naturally attracts more couples that are looking for some romantic star gazing. Nevertheless, super well organized, had a great time, thank you ✨✨✨

10/10 experience, would definitely do it again - My experience was awesome, the trip is really interesting and enjoyable, i had so much fun, starting from the bus which was v comfy to the activities that were carefully chosen to ensure making the best out of each moment. The guides were super fun and welcoming, everything was in place and the food was perfect as if we were in a restaurant not in the middle of the desert.

Al Quaa stargazing solo trip - Al Quaa one of the darkest places in the UAE where you can witness as well as experience the marvelous side of vast universe in front of your eyes and the peace you would feel there was pure bliss ! I have booked with Arabian wanderers , everything seemed stress free and comfortable and the trip guide Mr. Rizwan was arranging everything from delicious food , fun games, interactive astronomy sessions and much more. Overall the trip was fantastic and looking forward to more trips with them.

An amazing night to photograph the Milky Wayl - The stargazing trip at Al Quaa was amazing. Everything was very well arranged and our guide Rizwan Ali was very friendly and helpful. The stargazing session was very interesting. Thanks a lot to all the staff of Arabian Wanderers
