Dubai fun - A nice experience, lots of driving but certainly a nice tourist activity. We rode camel, went into the desert with a 4x4 and sanded surfboard.

A must-see experience! - An unforgettable desert adventure – highly recommended! Anyone travelling to Dubai must have experienced a desert safari – and our tour was simply magnificent! Even the start was perfect: We were picked up on time at the hotel and throughout the day superbly accompanied by Jamil, who with his friendly nature and skill has made this trip very special. After a drive inland we made our first stop. There was the possibility to do a guided quad tour (optional) or just refresh yourself briefly. Meanwhile, Jamil prepared the vehicle for the upcoming dune ride – and then the adventure really started! Driving through Dubai’s impressive dunes was simply spectacular – a perfect mix of thrills and fun. At a particularly beautiful vantage point, we stopped to take photos and let the desert landscape look at us in peace. For those who want even more action, there was even a sandboard ready. A real highlight! The drive back through the desert was also fast-paced and full of fun before we finally reached the road again. While the car was cleared of sand and the tires were inflated again, we were able to take a breath before continuing to camp. There we had a delicious dinner and great shows in a beautiful atmosphere. All in all, a mega-day full of adventure, fun and unforgettable memories! Many thanks to Jamil for this outstanding experience – we would do the tour again anytime!

🌵⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely out of this world! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌵 - The desert safari was honestly one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had — from start to finish, it was just pure magic! A huge shoutout to Jamil, our driver and guide, who truly made the whole experience unforgettable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having the best time. Jamil also did the 4x4 dune bashing, and wow — it was exhilarating! The way he handled the car over those golden dunes had us laughing, cheering, and hanging on for dear life (in the best way!). It was the perfect mix of thrill and fun, and Jamil made it feel completely safe and effortless. The camel ride was surreal, and getting to hold a falcon felt like something out of a dream. The live shows in the evening — especially the fire performance and belly dancing — were absolutely mesmerising. The BBQ dinner was delicious with so many great options, and the free soft drinks and water kept us refreshed throughout the night. We also paid extra for the dune buggy, and that was another level of amazing — pure adrenaline and breathtaking views as the sun set over the desert. 🌅✨ Every part of the experience was flawless, from the stunning scenery to the fantastic organisation. If you’re visiting Dubai, this is an absolute must-do — and make sure you ask for Jamil. He’s the best guide and driver you could hope for! 🐫🔥💫

Fantastic trip by Jamil! - We had a private tour with Jamil, he was FANTASTIC!!! Upon greeting, Jamil explained everything to us what we will be doing and everything exceeded our expectations. The dune and buggy driving was lots of fun with some screams , our teenage children loved it very much. Then evening followed by camel ride, an evening meal and entertainment. We got safely delivered back to our hotel by Jamil who was courteous and polite throughout.
