Our guide was called Shihab and he was absolutely brilliant. He was on time to pick us up at the hotel and was very friendly from the outset. He was very helpful and pointed out areas of interest in Dubai on the way to the Desert Safari. He looked after us throughout our desert Safari experience and was patient and engaged with us. Overall the experience was interesting and exciting, including Camel ride, sand boarding and dune bashing. We all felt the whole experience was very good value for money.

Good price for so many experiences The desert bikes are charged additionally. 250 dirham. Which is a lot and involves riding bikes in a very crowded area with hundreds of people Altho 7h long, it still feels quite rushed and you barely have time for anything I would have liked more time in the desert. Overall we recommend it

The safari is a great value for those of us who just want the basic desert safari experience without all the bells and whistles. Our guide and driver, Aftab, was friendly and professional. He gave us a great dune bashing experience and did not try to push us to add things to the safari that we did not want.

If you're considering a Dubai desert safari, you may be wondering whether to book a morning or evening tour. Both have their benefits, but morning safaris offer a few advantages over their evening counterparts.
  1. For one, morning desert safaris in Dubai tend to be less crowded than those departing in the afternoon or evening. This means you'll have a more intimate experience with your guide and fellow travelers, and you're likely to see more wildlife since there won't be as many people around to scare them off.
  2. Another benefit of morning safaris is that the temperatures are cooler than they are later in the day. This can make for a more comfortable experience, especially if you're not used to the heat.
  3. Finally, morning safaris offer the best light for photography. If you're looking to get some great shots of the desert landscape or wildlife, morning is the time to do it.
