    Everything was perfect, we went with a child, the driver connected us via WhatsApp , picked us up from the hotel , we had two girles more with us, but the car was comfortable and space was enough. We got exciting ride on dunes, even more than expected, but nevertheless it was very careful and safe, thanks for that! Great servis. The evening was spent outside with the supper , dancing events and fireshow, we liked it a lot, it was really good experience for the first time visit!

    Everything was perfectly organized. Syed Najam is a professional, a great driver, very kind and helpful. I recommend paying extra for VIP seats, it's not a big difference in price and it's a much better experience.

    Our evening desert safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. The highlight of the trip was not just the stunning landscape or thrilling activities, but the exceptional service we received from our guide, Ranjit. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The dune bashing was exciting and well-paced, offering both adventure and amazing views of the desert. We also had the chance to try quad biking, which added an extra layer of fun to the evening. At the desert camp, we enjoyed camel rides, henna painting, and sandboarding, followed by a delicious BBQ dinner with plenty of options. The live entertainment—especially the belly dancing and tanoura show—was vibrant and engaging. What really stood out was the thoughtful gesture from Ranjit—he surprised us with a complimentary Red Dunes Desert Safari, which took the entire experience to another level. It was a beautiful, scenic ride through some of the most striking parts of the desert. This safari is a must-do in Dubai, and with a guide like Ranjit, it becomes truly unforgettable.
