Desert safari trip of 07/02/2024 - This was an excellent trip with a superb guide. An excellent driver to say the least. His focus was on his clients during the trip and the event in the desert. Thanks so much to Zohaib Ahmad. You are a wonderful person to remember. You made my day and that of my wife Juzelle. See you again soon.

Good value for the experience - This was a very good experience for the price. As a family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers) a six hour experience in an A/C SUV ride, dinner and the other included experiences- it’s a good value. There are plenty of opportunities along the way to spend more money and upgrade your experience. Highly recommend the ATV ride on the sand dunes which is extra. My only complaint would be that the tour was booked to start at 2:30pm and we were notified by the driver at 2:18 that we would be picked up at 4:15. This was frustrating and made for a later evening thank expected but didn’t ruin our experience.

Choose another company tour . - First, our driver was supposed to pickup us at the hotel at 1:45 and arrived at 2:45. He never spoke to the group until the barbecue. We were packed 8 adults in his Nissan véhicule. Some of the belts safety of his vehicle were not functioning….we mentioned to him but he seems not have checked it before taking customers. For those who didn’t want to do the quade we had no activity to do for us except watching for 45 minutes the others. To do a camel ride free for 5 minutes you had to wait a long time. We skip that activity too. The ride in 4x4 was fun but it’s not recommend if you have a bad back or pregnant. Our driver didn’t mentioned anything about it. The buffet was fair and we enjoyed the show. You had to pay an extra if you don’t want seat on the floor for the buffet and show. We were back to our hotel at 10 pm.

Disappointing- Mis-sold, time wasted - This safari was very disappointing. As per the description, we expected to be picked up in a 4x4 and my sons who love vehicles were expecting that. Instead, we were picked up by a mini van. We were driven on two detours first stopped at a shop to buy scarves and then taken to a quad biking site where we were told we would wait for 40 mins so that we could quad bike. We had not requested this. I asked whether there would be quad biking at the main site and was told no only there. We and the other party who were with us said we didn’t want to quad bike and just wanted to do the dune bashing. 2 hours later, we finally reached the 4x4 car and were transferred to it. We had a very fun dune bashing session but very short only about 10 mins, 15 mins max. This was disappointing as we had been looking forward to this and expected it to be 30-45 mins. This company have only a few 4 x 4 cars which they use to ferry different groups and that’s why the experience was rushed. In the past, on safari in the UAE I have had my own 4 x4 and there has been no rush. When we reached the camp, there was a short camel ride and 1 sand board for the 100 or so guests to share. There were also quad bikes to ride on. Interesting, as I was told there wouldn’t be. Inside the camp, there were two sections:a VIP section where people could be served food and drinks immediately and the normal sextion where people could only have water and hot drinks but mood wouldn’t be served until 7:00for appetisers and 7:30 for mana- bear in mind we got there at 5 and had left our hotel at 3 and the experience finished at 8:00. As we were hungry, we opted for the VIP package which meant an additional cost of 200 dirhams- 50 dirhams per person. We were charged extra simply to earths food we had already paid for in our package straight away rather than intentionally being forced to wait to make people fork out more money. There was no traditional Arabic dress as described, no falcon experience (aside from someone shoving a falcon on my 6 years old son’s arm for us to pay 20diehams to take a picture with our phones) and no belly dancing. The fire show in particular was excellent however which is what makes me give 2 stars. However, several other companies use the same venue. Therefore the same fire show can be experienced by booking with a different company. When the experience finished, whilst others went straight to their cars, we had to wait around for the few 4 x 4 cars this company has to again ferry people and go back and forth. This company seem to be cutting several Corners, promising what they don’t deliver and trying to make money by getting cuts via other supplies by trying to force customers to buy additional items and wasting their time in the process. This is my 5th time doing a safari in the UAE and this was by far my worst experience.

Bad - Do not, the whole trip is made to sell extras, you spend more time inside the car going and going than in the desert. Bad and cold food, the only thing that saved were the concerts during/after dinner.
