The shows are very good and the sand dunes are very nice, but the food is below average and lack of hospitality with the guests.

Great experience!if you are looking for an adventure out in the desert! I highly suggest this place. Just make sure you review your safari company very well! Be sure and always try to negotiate prices! People here are very welcoming! Also watch out for them tourist traps! No, they arent scams but if you take a photo with the falcon youll have to pay 10aed!

It was a great experience and would recommend everyone going to Dubai to enjoy it. First the desert safari was so thrilling and then the various activities such as ATV riding, camel riding, horse riding and many more will suffice your thrilling desires.

Location was good. But behaviour of people was extremely harsh and unfriendly. They tell that soft drinks are included in the package. But how mean it is that they restrict 1 soft drink per head (200ml bottle) in this hot summer. People ask for money for every service which should be free. Food quality was extremely poor. Programmes were also boring, somehow wanted to finish. Not all recommendable to any of my friends

The show was good but too short compared to the 3 others shows like this had been to. The food was the worst I had to. The serving area closed quickly once served. Hawkers was everywhere trying to sell soft drinks, wines and beer. The camera guy was very rude. It was hard to get sodas and food for children and older folks. They insisted you must return to the counter for a single drink or plate of food which is very time consuming. Overall, this was the worst camp of the 3 I went to. Maybe its a covid thing. Greed for money. The best thing was my driver. Great guy.

Camel ride was of name sake only only 1 min just to click pictures. The camp where they took us was good but was made by money hoggers. They were cheating everyone by saying to pay 100 Aed to avoid que and get food on table where as it was supposed to be served. Please dont go by their words and get your food urself there will no que. Dont pay them in advance. Performance were good. I am putting two star for performance only. The food was very bad.

Nice Camp. Offered 1 on 1 free entry due to Vivid slak season. Good food with polite service. Outside alcohol not allowed. Free soft drinks, tea, coffee, water and dinner as part of package. I do not know whether its the same during peak season. Camel ride free for few seconds. Sand bashing 10 minutes. Camp was only filled to 30% capacity. Dont know how they manage it financially with such poor collection. Hope Dubai government may be offering some relief in its rent and other taxes. Good Cultural shows. Our Taxi driver Mr. Islam also nice person took care throughout the pick-up till drop.

Review №19

It was the worst place I ever visited. We reached there after we payed online. The tables were next to each other, there was no space between one table and the other. People are all over each other. I had to pay extra money to upgrade and go inside a closed cooling area because I was scared that my mam might get effected by someone especially with the COVID-19 nowadays.The service was very bad, they only come at the beginning to serve the coffee and tea which was part of the upgrade and then they never come to ask us again. They don’t even have Arabic coffee which is the main Safari desert tradition. The food was not international as they mentioned.It was all Indian food and so oily. It includes only rice and small pieces of chicken in separate plate. And the portion of food was very small.The Shisha were exchange from the person’s mouth who make shisha to the guest directly. It wasn’t a new one which is the opposite of the safety condition. 🤢And the free Hena was only for one finger drawing and it is not natural Hena, the smell was more of ink!!!! Not recommended at all.There was no arranged place for pray as well.In addition, when dinner time started, there was no organization neither distance between each other. No one was taking care of anything. Each person was going inside and get from the buffet.And we were VIP upgraded and we got rice and small portion of salad and small pieces of chicken and taste was not good at all.I don’t recommend this place to anyone as it does not follow the safety procedures at all and the service is horrible and bad!!!!

The attraction is the desert sand, camel riding and the night entertainment which brought me satisfaction. But the for the buffet, they should have chilly pepper option for us who doesnt like bland food, the Emirati head gear was quite expensive, my friend bought hers for 20dirs but the man there tried to sell it for me for 50dirs if my friend hadnt catch up with me on time. The photographers dont ask you if you like the photo or not they just go ahead and print a lot then ask you to pay 250dirs for 5 copie?😳 the man with the Eagle will persuade you to take pictures with it for 25dirs and after you take about 5pics with your phone hed demand another 20😂 it was funny i didnt give extra anyway. But the climax of it all was the suv bumpy ride, it was thrilling and frightening but above all I loved it. I had a great experience 😌

Place is not good as expected. Over 400+ people . Well crowded dont go to low price packages. You may have to sit on the dirty floor. food was so junky. Food quality was very low and i can say no quality just junk. Dont go there for lower packages. Few fights between people . Some people screaming while dancers dancing. Camel tour is just for stand up the camel and get down the camel. 30 Seonds tour 😁. Byc ride also the same. More money moRe enjoy .

Poor attitude, poor service, poor food.No flexibility - with kids and senior citizen we asked for pickup opposite side if the road and it took lot of convincing and behavior was very rude.Bike ride - there have confined the area to flat surface. They allow you to go on sand dunes but charge extra for the same? Did I ask for extra time?Not professional - photographer took pictures of my kids without permission and printed it also. Now he was expecting us to pay also for the same. And you cant leave your kids pics with strangers either :(Food - they have to order the food and buy the time it is served it is stale or loose its taste.Unorganized - you ask for anything that is part of package and they say dont know. We asked for skates and they said search in the desert. My son spent 30 min to find two broken one and somehow managed to do sand boarding.I feel bad while writing this review because the performers were really good and we enjoyed the show. Hence gave two stars. The show is must to watch and dont expect anything else.

Al marjan Desert camp is one of the best in terms of entertainment.

Review №29

An average desert camp. We were taken here by Happy tours. For some reason it was jammed packed. I have been to other camps during desert safari but this was unusually busy.Than I got to know that this camp is available for a rent and quite a few small tours operators use it. Hence the chaos.Its right on the edge of the main road. Hardly 20 minutes walk in straight line.Surrounding view is not good either, you can see at least 2 other camps close buy.Service is average as well. All in all if you have option to choose the camp, choose different.

Food served was very cold and taste wise also not good. Soft drink and tea was just for name sake and you will get only when dinner time comes. Performance stars were great but if food. Nothing is unlimited. You will get all food items once and then service will get close

Review №33

Super experience the dune bashing was good, about 10 min, just enough if you are not a very adventurous person, for 60 AED it was a steal. Pickup by bus, them taken to a dessert place where you have unlimited tea coffee water juice, one snack and a decent dinner. Dont expect a great spread in the dessert.Other freebies were local dress (yourself), henna and a very short camel ride. You have to be in queues for all. The sand art is lovely but changeable and a photograph too.You have to do this if you visit Dubai.

Review №34

The driver, Mr Wasiim, who picked us, was very nice and professional. As soon as you arrive you are given a scarf and overratedly charged for them. Likewise you are placed beside a falcon and then asked a ridiculous sum of money again for taking a picture. Food quality was poor, and quantity far scarce to be defined a buffet. If you have some relative or friend visiting you in Dubai this place ticks some boxes: dune bushing was a real fun, you have the chance to take a picture while riding a camel, or on the top of a dune, the show was fun though nothing typical of Emirate tradition. However, keep in mind you have to stop somewhere on the way back home to have decent food and drink, and you will learn nothing about Emirate culture.

Review №35

Place was good... the entertainment was asome unlike other camps which usually has to performances...they had 5 and the fire dance was something new. Although the foods were not that great even as we have booked the VIP, first they would serve us before the rest would eat, down side was that we are non-veg and the choices for us were only the barbecue and that they gave us a a very few serving.

Its okay. The pick up and drop is a mess, but the services within are pretty neat. The food is great, and the performances brilliant. Its a small camp, and you typically wrap up by about 8

The experience was not up to the expectations because of the crowd and rush. Also it rained and part of the dessert drive was ruined.Overall it would have been a good experience if it was a week day. The activities were good. Food was ok. Fast and good service.

Review №39

A bit shabby but a fun experience. The show is much better if you sit on the ground, especially the side on the right as you walk in. Sitting in the upper VIP area means you get the food brought to you, but you end up waiting longer for your food. Constant drink offers in the VIP area though.

Good place for beat the heat of the desert and enjoy a great evening desert safari with family and friends. Inside Arabian style, camp sits back, relax and enjoy dance show, Belly dance, and fire show, Unlimited tea, coffee, cold drinks are available, photography with Arabian Eagle are other highlights of the Evening desert safari. Dinner served with both veg and non-veg dishes and grilled Bar-B-Que dishes.

Review №41

Bedouin Camp in the middle of the dessert with tonnes of personality. This unique adventure sees you taking a 4x4 trip to the camp deep in the dessert where you are greeted by the sights of quad biking tracks, camel rides, dune surfing and dune buggys. Inside the camp are private tents, curio shops and a bar. Guests are treated with local quisine, waters and lemonades and the experience is concluded with Belly Dancers and Fire Dancers showing off their skills

Good value for the price you pay, the sandboarding could be run a bit better than some random boards you have to go find, Camels dont look too healthy either.

It was my pleasure and my good fortune that i booked through Al Marjan Tours and Travels.We had the most remarkable family tour with Al Marjan Tours and Travels. Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guides and our gulet crew truly cared about us, both the kids and adults, and did their best to make this trip memorable. For my well-traveled child (aged 15) this definitely has become the most eye-opening, adventurous, and stunning journey of his life - something he will remember, draw upon, and cherish for many years to come. For adults, we were pleasantly surprised by the diversity of our trip: from neolithic archaeological sites to medieval castles, from swimming to get obsidian to talks on board of our wonderful gulet, from ever-changing and filled with surprises meals offered on board to culinary experiences on the shore, every island and every new activity offered new experiences. Dubai is golden city in itself. Also you will find a mix culture here. Roads are clean. Driving rules are strict. Food, Travel & stay is expensive, But Dubai has its own charm. Visit once in a lifetime & you will have an amazing experience, And team Al Marjan is one of the best and supportive Tours and Travels they really are very professional. We definitely will be back!

It’s sad that I cannot put 0 stars...everything was horrible, they only want to scam tourists and for christ sake don’t stay there overnight.They try to squeeze every ounce of money out of you.When the show starts the buffet opens and you got to choose which one to loose.The sleeping rugs were dirty and my friends and I didn’t even wanna touch them.And worst of all the next morning our driver never showed up.And the camels they have there are being tortured and mistreated

A Dune bashing ride to the camp was a thrill!! Once you get there though, you need to find your way around by asking questions. The entertainment was ok and the food was edible. Outside of being something to do on a checklist (seeing a desert for me), its not something Im likely to repeat.

Not organized at all.Many ppl and crowds, 6 persons per table whatever from same group or not.Food is very bad and limited quantity and no options, softdrinks are awful and limited, the free shisha is sharing even during Covid19Every thing should pay extra, while during booking they mentioned every thing included.I didnt see any satisfied guests after the event.

It is the worst and most expensive and underrated experience I have every had.I was promised with VIP seating to find out that it is not included the Luxury Trips by desert trip comapnay was everything else except LuxuryThe manager was super unfriendly and impolite and he thinks that he owns you because of the money you paidThe food was a disaster 😩 and the service was to cheap compared to what we paidI highly recommend that any one who want to book a trip, should check all the details and also recommend to check another company than this one

Poor service. Poor food. Very bad organisation in disrespect to hundreds of people that are brought for every night event. The show is somehow entertaining. Not too much resemblance with the Arabic tradition, rather Indian or Pakistani. For less than one minute camel riding you may wait for an hour. Everything that is in the package comes with an additional price if you wish a decent service.

I was little disappointed cause all the complementary services they include in your desert safari thats not upto expectations, no sandboarding, no heena tatoo artists and no neat costumes, all was a lie. Felt cheated. But belly dancing and amazing fire show experience, other cultural activities were nice too. Desert safari was amazing in Land cruiser. Camel ride included but with long que of waiting. Being a vegetarian cant complaint about food absolutely veg.
