I absolutely loved Aya Universe! From the moment I stepped in, the entire experience felt truly magical. The design and ambience are stunning, making it feel like stepping into a completely different world. The Celestial Room was definitely the highlight of my visit—we played, laughed, and felt like kids again, completely immersed in the interactive lights and visuals. Every corner offered something new to explore, and the attention to detail was remarkable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive experience. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and full of joy. Aya Universe is the perfect place for a fun day out with friends or family, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

    My wife and I booked the Budget-Friendly Evening Desert Safari & BBQ Dinner, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From pickup to drop-off, everything was well organised and smooth. The desert drive was thrilling, the sunset views were absolutely stunning, and the entire experience felt both exciting and relaxing. The camp setup was beautiful, the atmosphere was lively, and the BBQ dinner was surprisingly good with a great variety of food. A special mention goes to our safari guide, Soni, who made the experience even better. He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, and he made sure everyone felt safe and had a great time throughout the drive and activities. His positive energy really added to the whole experience. For anyone visiting Dubai and looking for a great desert safari experience without overspending, this is absolutely worth it. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend it to couples, friends, or families.

    We are very happy as per schedule and plan they have full fill all over requirement. Driver come guide Shaqib was excellent to provide the service and sharing the information. Snacks, BBQ and dances are mind-blowing. Desert Safari in the car we have enjoyed a lot specially my kids. Camel ride was cherry on top of the cake. In the mike they are announcing the special guests and who has birthdays that also we like. The pick up and drop off car was excellent. In the last, I would like to say we enjoyed a lot our desert Safari tour and we we would like to to go again after sometime. Thanks headout team.

    Our desert safari was an excellent experience, made truly special by our guide, Saqib. He was perfectly punctual, highly cooperative, and extremely attentive. He anticipated our needs before we even asked, which made everything feel smooth and effortless. His professionalism and consideration elevated the entire experience. It honestly would not have been this enjoyable without him. Highly recommended!

    It was a different type of experience. The staff explained everything very kindly, the concept of each room had something new to offer. Even the bubble room was a lot of fun. I thought it is worth visiting at least once, takes about 1.5 hours to get through all the rooms.
