Desert with Abdul - We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the Dubai desert with Abdul as our driver, and we could not have asked for a better guide. From start to finish, Abdul was professional, kind, and incredibly skilled behind the wheel. His driving through the dunes was exhilarating but always felt completely safe — a perfect balance of adventure and control!
Thanks to Abdul, our desert safari was not just a tour — it was a highlight of our entire trip. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for

Even better! - This was our second time doing this trip and it was even better than the last time! From the moment our guide Ali picked us up to the time he dropped us off, it was filled with laughter, memories, and fun! I would recommend this tour to all.

A Memorable Experience - As they're so many tour companies offering this exact excursion & itinerary, I'm not sure if I'm reviewing the one I did the tour with...but it's a must when in Dubai...full of culture and an upclose fun experience of dune bashing in the desert.
From Camel rides, holding a falcon, shisha station, henna tattoos, to a delicious BBQ dinner & culture show with a fire performer, it's a value for money experience as it's all inclusive with drinks...no alcohol during Ramadan.
I guess it's a matter of choosing the one that's your preference, with pickup service, definitely a must do attraction when in Dubai.

Best driver - Better experience than expected! Our driver, Abdul Samad took us out to the sites smoothly and nice. Then he changed to action mode on the dunes and that ride was better than all roller coasters I have tried.

Naimat morning safari - This was one of the most fun trips we did in Dubai. Our tour guide was very friendly and explained a lot of the country , culture and economy on our way to the sand dunes. Also we are from Canada and seen a Tim hortons on the way. Our guide went out of his way to take us there on the way back to our hotel. Very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend anyone to take this excursion and hopefully you’ll get our tour guide.

Get in touch with a Desert ☀️ - Great experience!
Expected from the pick up delay, the tour was very organized.
Our driver / tour guide Nishan was great!
Very kind, he took pictures and support us during all tour.
The desert ride (the highlight) could have been a bit longer, but that didn't compromise the great experience we had today.
The village is very cozy with good bathrooms very comfortable place stay and the buffet at leaves nothing to be desired.

Bad experience, you will not get what you pay for - Booking reference number: 1233018469
We booked the activity for the 22nd of March, pick up agreed at our hotel at 14:30 (included in the available options from the own activity). To our surprise, no one picked us up, we waited more than an hour and then tried calling the numbers provided in the website. We had no response at all, however we got helped by one guy from the hotel with connections in the insustry. About an hour later, we got contacted by the responsibles via WhatsApp to apologise and offer us the tour for another date. We agreed on doing it two days later, however our experience was bad since we did not do many of the activities which are included in the package: these are the sand boarding, belly dance and the camel ride. The last one they let us, out of pity, ride the camel for 1-2 mins before leaving. They made us spend a lot of time in the area where the paid activities happened, but no time at all for the already paid & included ones. On top of that, I asked for a refund and they said we'd be contacted within 7 days. It has been about a month already and the only communication I received was an email to ask why I issued a chargeback.
Totally unprofessional and ridiculous. Avoid it if you do not want to be disappointed.

The Un-Fun Tour - We booked with Fun Tours. Absolutely nothing fun! The tour guide named Shahzad was rude, obstinate and unprofessional. Still proceeded with dune dashing after we all told him it felt unsafe! This guy would make you want to curse during Ramadan. Anything that was remotely fun at the meeting point we were told there was an extra charge. Both the show and food at campground were just ok. Camel ride was very very very short.
