The desert safari was a great experience overall, but the BBQ dinner and overcrowding were disappointing. The vehicle was in good condition, which was a plus. We had to wait in line for over an hour to ride the buggy, and it took nearly 1.5 hours to reach the camp because of heavy traffic. The same traffic delays happened on the return journey as well. The BBQ dinner was very poor. Only two meat options were available, and each person was served just one piece. Getting additional food meant rejoining the queue from the beginning. Despite advertising unlimited soft drinks, this was not properly provided. The driver, however, was excellent—very kind, helpful, and drove extremely safely. I was traveling with three children, and his careful driving made the journey comfortable and secure

The Dubai desert safari was an unforgettable experience! The evening started with an exciting dune bashing ride, and the driver was both skilled and friendly. Watching the sunset over the golden dunes was absolutely breathtaking. The camp was well organized, with delicious food, traditional performances, and great hospitality. It’s a perfect mix of adventure and culture—definitely a must-do when visiting Dubai!

    Firstly I should have booked personal safari that would have been better. Because I booked shared one , 3 of us had to adjust in the back seat which was difficult and tiring. Pls go for personal safari. Optional QUAD BUKE RIDE WAS FUN. BOOKED 4 SEATER FOR 700 AED. HAD TO BARGAIN FOR THUS. GOING TO THE night CAMP FOR PERFORMANCES WAS EXTRA TIRING. FOOD WAS Limited wilth the STANDARD TICKET. ONLY TEA COFFEE WAS GUD. REST ITEMS LACKED TASTE AND U HAD TO stand IN LONG QUEUES. Indians don't go for camp. Specially aged people.

    Except the sand dune bashing there was nothing good about the experience. The camel ride was a joke that lasted less than 10 seconds. There were no snacks except for dates and not even condensed milk for coffee. The voucher says unlimited soft drinks but that was never provided. The food was stale and cold and there was too much crowd. The guide was very cold and unresponsive. Everyone in the camp was rude and indifferent . The washrooms were nasty . Avoid at all costs . Totally worst experience.
