This was one of my favorite experiences in Dubai. We were picked up right on time the transportation was clean, cool and comfortable. I really loved the ride through the desert and the sunset. Everything was so well organized. The food and entertainment was very good, and I think my daughter rode the camels 3 times! I highly recommend this adventure!!

Amazing tour! Our guide and driver Mike was fantastic, he gave us a lot of information about plants and dessert wild life while driving in dunes. When we arrive to the camp we could enjoy camel riding, sand board and delicious dinner with belly dancing and fire show. The tour is very well organized and really funny. Highly recommended!

Very well organised by Arabian Adventures. Wind and blowing sand can make dinner an interesting experience. Free facial scrub and dental cleaning 😁. Dune buggy ride was fun and if stuck a great workout.

Loved this tour!!!! Loved it! The dune driving was exhilarating and scary at the same time. The camel ride was very short but fun. The dinner was wonderful. Appetizers and a main dinner buffet. More than enough food to eat and a large selection. The belly dance show was awesome. I TOTALLY reccomend this tour!!

An exhilarating experience from the start to the end. The pick up was on time, the drive to the conservation smooth. The dune bashing was fun, especially since our driver had full control over his vehicle. The falcon show was short but interesting. The camp in the middle of the desert is great; all conveniences are provided and you have sand boarding and camel rides for fun. The flavored shisha makes you feel like almost decadently opulent! 😀The food was tasty and the belly dance mesmerizing.Take one without hesitation and you will not be disappointed.

Another unique experience, specially if you are not costumed to desserts. book the dessert safari with the sand dunes (be mindful that sand dunes can be little bit too much exciting so not recommended to the faint heart) and you will be picked up from your hotel probably by a Land curse Prado or a similar SUV and will be taken to the desert. entering the desert the vehicles will stop by to lower the tire pressure (It was said it makes it easy to drive on the sand) at that place you can get down and get some refreshments and get some souvenirs. also there are lot of people that will come to you and offer a Kaffiyeh (the square scarf, usually made of cotton.) but after putting it on you only you will realize it is at a price ;) where you will have to buy it like it or not. The sand dunes are exciting and thrilling!!! and once you reach the camp there are some traditional dancers including belly dancers. and many types of food and beverages will be there There are opportunities to get henna tattoos as well as a very short camel ride, sand buggies and parasailing on the sand also available most of the places but at an additional price.It was quite nice, but cannot say that the complete experience is authentic because it felt has it has become commercialized very much.

Picked up on time but there were 5 people in addition to the driver in the Land Rover. The driver was courteous. My wife had to sit in the last row during the dune bashing and it was not a good experience at all. They either need to have only 4 people in the car considering they charge decently or need to rotate out people half way through the dune bashing. The vegetarian starters were good and there were 4 types of starters. However, the wait was long with long queues and the quantity served limited. We had to stand in the queue 4 times. First for soft drinks, next for starters, then for the main course and finally for dessert. Bad organization. The Falcon show and the Belly dance were good though there was a feeling that they could have had one more dance type.

Even in the heat of the summer this was a great experience!! The camels didnt smell as bad as I would have thought and the tour guides were very entertaining! I was fortunate to be in the leader car so when we rode through the dunes in the air conditioned SUVs, we got the first look at all the animals and probably the most fun adventure ride! I would say this was worth it to see the desert and especially if you can go in the fall/winter to participate in the dunes boarding! They provide plenty of cold bottled water to keep you hydrated in the heat also.

We booked with Arabian Ventures, a local tour company owned by the government to go for a desert safari with the kids. We were picked up around 3:30 PM by a super friendly tour guide-driver, Oscar. Oscar is originally from Kenya and has been in Dubai for over 20 years. He is an extremely friendly person and very knowledgeable. Having settled down in Dubai with a family of two children, he is very rooted to the country and wants a future in Dubai.We got in to a Toyota Landcruiser, which seems to be the vehicle of choice for the Desert Safari. It being a six-seater, we had two additional guests, a brother-sister duo from Dallas, Texas. The brother was an MD in OBG. Both were in a very American way, open and friendly.We had with us two children, aged 11 and 9. We all got in to a meeting point in the desert by around 4:30 PM and found over 30-35 vehicles. There is always a leader and then the followers in the group for safety.Tyres were deflated to ensure better grip on the sand dunes and we took off, following a few vehicles. The ride was like a sand roller-coaster and we all had a whale of a time.Around 6 PM, we reached our camp site and relaxed with drinks and starters which was well laid out with a good variety. It was tasty and very local in palate. After the starters, the kids did a short camel ride and some photo ops with the camel.Dinner was served soon after which again had good options for us vegetarians as well, along with a rice pudding dessert. Once the dinner was over, the belly dancer came and had everyone hooked to her moves. There were folks who didnt put their phone down the entirety of her three routines!It was time for our return and we passed the never-ending freeway back to Dubai city. Overall it was great fun and expertly hosted by Arabian Adventures Oscar. Thank you!

Review №39

Best experience while in Dubai/Abu Dabhi. This is the real culture, as the tour takes you through dune bashing, falcon shows, camel riding, sand boarding and all called off with an amazing buffet style dinner. There is plenty to do in a short space of time but truly unforgettable. Just be careful if the pictures you take because when it comes to collecting them they will charge you AED135 each so that can get pricey pretty quickly. But truly memorable

Review №48

The falcon show and the camp was lovely. The driving in the desert was the problem though. Last time we went 3 years ago was super fun, but this time the driver we had went crazy with the driving. Most of the people in the car were either feeling sick or in pain. Strange part was even the drive home was crazy speedy, not even slowing down for speed bumps. This was booked through Arabian Adventures. The safari itself is great, just spoilt by the driver we had. In fairness Id recommend this and probably with another driver thered be no issues.

We went there with a Jeep and thought this would be a rather private experience. In the end it was kind of an orchestrated event with around 50 cars and 300 people. Nevertheless the show was worth a visit, the food was totally OK for the money we had paid. There were opportunities to get henna tattoos as well as a very short camel ride.Altogether it was quite nice, but it did not feel very authentic.

This is an absolute must trip to do. I cannot recommend it enough. The sand dune driving was excellent and they really do put the cars through their paces. Making a couple of stops to the camp, the sunset was just incredible. A camel ride at camp was fun, the food was excellent and entertainment good too. Topped off by star gazing for 5 minutes. Thoroughly recommend.

This was by far one of the best shore excursions I have ever been on in a cruise. You are taken here after the Jeep tour. The camp has plenty of seating on the ground and provides white and red wine and also has beers included. There is a nice spot to smoke shisha if you wish or you can watch the show. One of the most relaxing places in the desert.

This was a fantastic experience! Never thought a desert safari could be such a classy event but the organizers had everything from camel rides, Arabic coffee, dates, Arabic food and belly dancers. The area was set up really well and had a great Arabian feel to it. Loved the food and the activities as well!

We loved this experience and highly recommend Arabian Adventures for this trip. The private vehicle was a great choice. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the Conservation Park. We went dune bashing, which was really exciting and a bit scary. We watched the sunset over the dunes. We did sand boarding. Had henna tattoos. Went on a camel ride and did some star gazing. Fab night all round.

I loved it! It was so much fun. Picking us from our hotel and drove us back. Took us an hour to arrive to their place. And then we saw a falcon show. I loved it. Then we went for safari in the sands. That was crazy and fun for me. Saw some people got carsick. And then we stopped at the camp. We got unlimited food and drinks! Only wine and beers available. The food was okay some people were complaining. But for me was not bad. And then we watched a belly dance. Overall for non arab people is highly recommend!
