I did the combo tour with my wife and honestly, it was EPIC. We hopped on and off the bus all morning—Burj Khalifa, then the old souk (btw you can totally get lost in the alleys, so keep an eye on ur map). The audio guide was a bit fuzzy sometimes but still got the gist. In the afternoon, we got picked up for the desert safari. Our driver, Khalid, was suuuper funny and made the dune bashing wild but safe—my wife screamed (in a good way). The BBQ dinner at the camp was way better than I expected, with fresh salads and grilled chicken. Try the dates near the coffee stand—they’re so sweet. Got a henna tattoo too. 5/5, would do again!

Did this with a couple friends. The bus was a little crowded at the start (get there early if u want a seat upstairs!). Saw Dubai Mall and Marina, then the desert part was the real highlight. Our driver played loud music during the dune bashing and it was a laugh. Camel ride is shorter than I thought but still a fun pic op. Food was good, but they did run out of desserts early. Overall, a cool way to do a LOT in one day.

It’s a packed day, for sure. Bus was kind of slow in traffic (Dubai traffic is wild, lol). The desert camp was SO much better than the city tour, with fire show and all. Staff friendly but felt a bit rushed at the camp. Maybe would do the desert safari on its own next time.

Had a BLAST with my family! My kids loved the hop-on/off bus (especially the top deck, even though it got windy). Museum stop was neat but too short since we were on a schedule. The desert safari was like a rollercoaster, seriously. Food at the camp was legit and the fire show got my son’s jaw on the floor. Would recommend for families who want to see a LOT without too much stress.

Saw so many sights in one day—almost too many! Bus audio sometimes out of sync but the route covers all the big stuff. The sandboarding at the camp is hilarious if you don’t mind getting sand EVERYwhere. Staff helped my grandma get a good seat for the show. Some long waits for bus in afternoon tho.
