A must for everyone who is visiting Dubai.Desert safari in the surrounding sandy desert is a thrilling and electrifying experience. It provides about 20 minutes of exciting dune bashing along with electrifying camp journey where you can enjoy quad biking, camel ride and sand skiing.

We had an amazing time! Driver did a great job. Make sure you buckle up and encourage them to drive it like they stole it.

We had a great experience with my family camel riding and dune bashing. Our guide took really good photos too.

Great fun while dune buggy riding and sandboarding in the dessert of dubai. Sultan was very nice, he took pictures og us and guided us all the way. He was very patient with us when sandboarding. He also had water for us out in the desert

Good arrangement with pickup at the hotel and good service all the way. Well arranged with drinks and follow-up along the way. Good service and good driving!!!

Do it ! 100% fun Sultan was awesome !! So much fun ! Definitely worth it! Do this ! Everything was fun and good spirited. End to end it was great ! Thank you !

Sultan rocks - great business team building experience! Sultan was an amazing host! Rescued us from a stuck dune. Captured instagram worth photos and videos. Best memories with our work team building activity!!

Dune buggy and sandboarding Suldan was a great host. The dune buggy and sandboarding was awesome!

Top notch, Dubai Desert Safari Tour recommend Abhilash if he is available for a tour guide !! I went with my husband, my sister and my brother in law !We went with the private drive (100% worth it) got picked up wherever we wanted .. Abhilash- our driver was INCREDIBLE!! Can’t say enough amazing things. He was so fun, took many photos of us, and videos, he always made sure we didn’t miss out on anything !! 5* PLUS... This is the FULL experience. The only thing we missed out on was the sunset pics which was fine but if you want those I suggest you make sure you get to the heritage camp by 5:30 pm (this time of year) and they did warn us about our late pick up request (2:30pm from kite beach) but we were having too much fun at the beach. Cant have it all!! It was a win win. Abhilash you really made this whole experience incredible for us we’re still smiling! Small tip, if you get a little sea sick on boats. Highly suggest taking something like anti nausea half n hour before you hit those dunes , it was WILD !!!! No video or pic will ever justify. Incredible day with my fam, and could not have asked for a better guide Love from Canada

Super family fun Mega fun in the desert. Great guides, mega service (on site and pick-up and drop-off service) you absolutely must experience. We were totally thrilled

Amazing Experience It was an amazing experience from the start of getting picked up in a luxurious car, over the briefing and preparation throughout the entire experience of riding these amazing buggies over the dunes with speed and action. Great guide and amazing pictures!
