A desert Safari is a must do experience if you visit Dubai. What made this even better for us was it driver Najam. My father has issues with mobility and Najam noticed this and was immediately very considerate and ensured his comfort throughout. He made sure my dad sat in the front passenger seat , advised us to reseve our preferable before most of the other guests arrived before we won't on with other activities. Also made sure that during the Safari, my aunt (who is also elderly) was seated in the 2nd passenger row and not the 3rd as that is where you get thrown around a lot and is suited for fitter individuals . All in all, we have a seamless experience back and forth , thanks to Najam :)

We had an extraordinary experience. Najam was our guide and driver, a very kind person, who proved to be a real support for the trip. He introduced us to the desert, drove perfectly for our adrenaline, guided and supported us in the camps. Thanks to him, I also drove a buggy through the desert dunes and it was one of the most interesting experiences of my family, who accompanied me on the route. The program was identical to the one presented in the offer, recommending that in the camp where you have lunch, you opt for VIP, paying an additional fee of about 50AED. And, if you have Najam as your driver, you are lucky, having a trip of a story

I personally like the tradisional tanoura dance and fire show. It is spectacular.. The Quad bike is adventure.Tour guide, Syed Najam is attentive and good in time management and care about safety. It is convenient with hotel pick up and transfer. Just need to improve the Arabic costume as it is limited choice and no guid on wearing. Perhaps camel ride can be slightly longer without compromise animal welfare.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Experience That Literally Frames Dubai’s Soul! Dubai Frame is not just a monument — it’s a journey through time, art, and architecture. From the moment you step in, you’re surrounded by stunning visuals narrating the city’s transformation from Old Dubai to the futuristic skyline we see today. The glass bridge at 150 meters above ground gives you goosebumps — one step on it, and you feel like walking between the past and the future! What impressed me most was how seamlessly everything was organized — from the entry to the elevator ride with immersive visuals, to the 360° panoramic view that makes you fall in love with Dubai all over again. Even my 9-year-old was amazed — it’s equally exciting for families and solo travelers. If you want that one picture that defines your Dubai trip, this is the spot. Visit just before sunset — the golden light reflecting on the skyline is pure magic. Tip: Don’t rush out after the bridge — the exit gallery with future-themed projections is absolutely worth it. Truly a “must-see” icon that captures the spirit of Dubai — innovation, vision, and beauty in one frame. 🌇✨ Thanks head out

    I upgraded to VIP level at the venue and during Food service My wife only ate grilled food when i asked the server for more he gave me a disgraceful look which really pissed me off iam an indian but iam a proud american in an Airline industry with 100k employees if i put this experience in our employee website won't be a good one . They should be more professional plus i saw them saving and serving food to there own which was disrespectful
