    Arabian adventures was highly recommend to me on a Facebook group. Let me tell you that they had exceeded my expectations entirely. We had Taslim as our guide, he was friendly and funny and professional, truly an excellent guide on all accounts. The desert safari package is value for money. I was so impressed. When the activities were listed when I bought the package, I wasn't sure how they would manage to get it done in one evening, but they did, and none of it felt rushed. The dune bashing was so much fun! Taslim made sure that we were all comfortable and made jokes along the drive. He also was a fantastic photographer and took many instagram worthy pictures of us. The food was delicious and the entertainment was well timed. I would do this again, and I would happily take any other guests I have on a desert safari with Arabian Adventures. Thanks for an experience to never forget.

    What a truly amazing experience this was! The trip started slowly, but once we got off the main track into the Conservation Park and onto the sand dunes, wow! This is where the adventure really kicked in! Driving up, down, over, and around the dunes was exhilarating! Our driver was highly skilled, and we never once felt uncomfortable as he delivered an amazing experience! We stopped to see local wildlife and to watch the sunset over the desert, stunning! It was then onto dinner in the desert. This, too, was more than we could ever have imagined. A magical setting under the stars, great food, plentiful drinks, incredible entertainment including camel rides, belly dancing, fire twirling, and traditional music and dance! It was a perfect night and ending to what was a truly memorable experience. If you want to get away from the bright lights and experience an amazing desert experience in every way, then this is it! We highly recommend it!

    Sad to write.. but was disappointed with the entire quality of safari for the amount we paid, from the pick up point to the safari experience. The dune bashing hardly lasted for 5mins.. we hadn’t chosen the quad biking however, we were taken to that spot and almost 2 hours we were left to sit there with no proper instructions.. The buffet options were limited and almost everything was over by the time we were asked to take food.. lol.. They speak about the Covid protocols but the crowd was more than they could accommodate at the venue.. The shows lasted for 10 minutes max.. not sure if the quality has dropped down because of the vast crowd :(

    This was probably my 7th dessert safari. Out of all the different tour companies they are one of the best. Kevin is a happy soul, very professional and a people person. My mum and I really enjoyed our tour. Will definitely recommend them 💯

    It’s a must but you have to know that when you take the normal package you will be 6 in the Toyota Land Cruiser unless you take the very expensive package. So the people sitting on the last row in the car enjoy the dunes differently 🤢. During the winter season (October till February) you have around 50 cars following each other but in April we were (only) 15 cars but it’s the same with every operator. This one will take you one hour away from Dubai in a private resort. The bbq is very good (beef, chicken or lamb) but the non alcoholic drinks disappointing since it’s only water, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi and a kind of orange soda no fruit juice for instance. The drivers are very professionals security is a must (the company beyond’s to Emirates) some drivers seemed to be more friendly than other (mine was great Ismail from India) so finally it was the first time I did it and we all enjoyed it very much. Forgot to mention that I was ne ER able to get the discount mentioned on their web page !

    Great fun and wonderful experience (01.12.23). Our driver Khalid arrived on time, professional, knowledgeable about the dessert, and its inhabitants, and also he could be part-time comedian, he was that funny! (Deserves a bonus😁) Especially enjoyed the sandbashing, it was our first time and would definitely do it again. I think seating in the front seat is more fun 😁. Seeing the sun set was magical, got some really great photos (expensive to get them printed out) but you can also purchase just the USB. However, you'll also get great photos with just your phone. The food was okay, entertainment was fantastic. However, the henna lady seemed miserable, like she didn't want to be there. She did a great job drawing but lacked personality. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience with this tour company. (Also, prior to this. I had a question about my booking and i was assisted by Maria C. Resort Officer. She was so helpful and friendly to chat too! Thanks Maria, I'll definitely get in touch to book the Abu Dhabi tour next time I'm in town 😉).

  • 2/5 Jo Yvette Kristine C. 2 years ago on Google
    Driver was nice and the shuttle we used was clean. Horse riding and photo pic-my daughter cried because they kept on saying one minute to her. While Arabs do it without being in the line.. We should pay 100 dhs for a couple of rounds and a picture. Until my husband said why you keep in saying one minute we re here on the que before them becuase we not arabs you are doing to us..so we left. Food is awful.. The que to get to the buffet was so hilarious.. There so many flies on the area too. FOOD was focused with indian food we did not even touched oir food i was expecting more of arabian food.. If I can give negative review I will. Dune bashing was okay we enjoyed it. Atv driving is okay also with 150 dhs rate giving you around 5 mins to use it. (so short)

    We booked the Desert Safari with Arabian Adventures and it was one of the best experiences we had in Dubai. Our tour Nabil, a professional and positive tour pick us on time from the hotel The Atlantis and was great help during the whole tour. After the falcon show which was very interesting we went with a group of other cars to desert car park, and that were the fan started. Driving through sand dunes was very funny and different experience. Evening camp was amazing, from the set up to all the activities which they organised there. We rode camels which was fun and everyone seems to enjoy this. Traditional food was excellent especially starters. Belly dancing after dinner was very good. We highly recommend this company and this tour. Desert Safari it is a “Must Do” if you visiting Dubai. It’s something completely different which you will enjoy a lot.

    Desert Safari is a must when visiting Dubai. I tried various agencies but Arabian Adventures is simply THE BEST! Hats off to our tour guide/driver/bartender ANOOP, professional, friendly and entertaining. And he took fantastic photos too. The food were excellent as well as the Tanoura, Fire and belly dancing. I will again book for my brother’s family is coming this January 2023.

    Really wonderful tour guides and professional tours! Safety is always this company's highest priority. Be generous and tip your drivers and guides! My favorite guide was Gabriel Dima (Dubai City Tour).

    If you are looking for an amazing desert safari experience, look no further than Arabian Adventures. From the moment you arrive at their camp, you can tell that they are miles ahead of their competitors in terms of quality and service. The camps are luxurious and comfortable, the food is top-notch, and the safari itself is an unforgettable experience. Add in the fact that their transportation is top-of-the-line, and you have the perfect desert safari experience. I would highly recommend Arabian Adventures to anyone looking for a premium desert safari experience. They are truly the best in the business!

    What a fantastic experience!!! Arabian Adventures is the best!!! We had so much fun! I recommend it 100% to everyone who gets to be in Dubai to take this adventure to the desert. Our driver Nadir is so friendly,safe,wonderful guy!!! It was a pleasure to meet with him and ride on his vehicle, we felt so safe!! Thank you Nadir!! Hopefully we’ll see you next time we get to Dubai!

  • 5/5 Yomna K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing! It was an overall fun experience, the dune bashing was super exciting and we felt safe with our tour guide (Paul from India) who seemed to be very experienced. The food was great and the staff were all very kind and professional and you can really tell they wanted to make sure we enjoyed everything. We are super grateful for Paul who was not only professional and helpful, he was also super kind and he was always giving us very needed advices about tourism in Dubai and offering to take pictures for us that turned out amazing. Honestly, he was just a really kind and fun person and that I believe is a great value to an industry that involves people. We are super glad he was our tour guide on our trip today and will definitely arrange another tour with the rest of the family when they come to Dubai. I would say the desert safari with Arabian Adventures is a must for anyone visiting Dubai. Thanks Paul and Arabian Adventures for the great experience!

  • 5/5 Sunny D. 4 months ago on Google
    Arabian adventures was an amazing tour. Booking the tour was extremely simple through their website as all the options are clearly listed. We selected the evening Safari package that included a pick up from our hotel, dune bashing, watching a beautiful sunset in the desert, a camel ride, sand boarding and a visit to an amazing camp in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of activities. Some amazing drinks and entertaining shows. Selected the premium package which included alcoholic beverages, and Shisha. It was worth it. The most important thing about our trip was our tour guide Suleiman. I personally feel that Arabian adventures is fortunate to have someone like Suleiman on their staff. He was extremely knowledgeable about the city and ensured that he shared his knowledge with us. He picked us up from the hotel and to the entire ride ensure that we were comfortable and were ready for an amazing Dune bashing session. Overall I gave this particular service five stars, and would recommended highly to anybody visiting Dubai.

    A very memorable dessert tour experience with Arabian Adventures (29.11.23). We had dune bashing, a beautiful sunset watching at the desert, camel ride, sand boarding and ended the night with dinner at the camp with some shows. Our driver, Asad, arrived on time at our accommodation for pick up. Indeed a very humorous and knowledgeable guy. He kept us engaged and updated us with our trip details throughout the journey. Not forgetting he has impeccable driving skills when he navigated through the dune. This desert tour was definitely a highlight for my Dubai trip. Highly recommended!

    Had a great time on our desert safari. Captain Rizwan was great. Full of information, very entertaining and a great driver. Had us shrieking with laughter. Dune surfing and camel riding were experiences to remember, food at the camp was ok too.

  • 5/5 Jade E. 5 months ago on Google
    This was amazing! Our driver was very experienced, gave us a lot of information about the conservation and the area. He was so helpful when we had questions. The experience overall was fantastic from the food, to the performances and activities at the camp. Would highly recommend 10/10

  • 5/5 NL. C. 7 months ago on Google
    I cannot say enough great things about this tour, the company and guides. Just an wonderful organized experience from start to finish. The guides are hustlers and make the whole thing work like clock work from driving, to entertainment, to service during dinner. Highly recommend this tour company.

  • 5/5 Jeridith L. 2 years ago on Google
    First of all, when you book this trip, BOOK WITH NADIR. He is absolutely amazing- knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun. The tour was great. The sand dune adventure left me white knuckling the car door handle. I got to ride a camel and let with beautiful henna (not from the camel but you get the point). If you have a limited time in Dubai, I cannot recognize this adventure enough.

  • 2/5 suraj n. 2 years ago on Google
    I would definitely not recommend them. They charged us about 105AED for a private tour. We had 3 2 yr olds and were late for the pick up. We had got a private vehicle so the driver was okay to wait. But the vehicle broke down twice on our way to the first point , where they just drop u at a place to go on your own ATV Rides. We were not interested so we asked him to take us to the camping site. Driver left us with a group who all had no clue what to do next. Dune bashing was supposed to be 20 min , but he took us in a short cut and dropped off in 5 mins. Later on the Camel ride was a disappointment, the guy taking on a ride counted for 30 steps. Sand boarding and all other things promised never happened. Camp site and the food was average. The shows were pretty decent and we all wished we had chosen a better safari.

    I booked this package from Arabian Adventures because of the good reviews I came across but this is the worst experience I have had till date. They have no regard for their customers. I went on a "VIP" dessert safari package with my family. We didn't want to go for quad biking, so we were told to wait for 1 hr, which we were okay with. But then we had to wait for more than 2 hours, before we were taken for other activities. We arrived at the quad biking site at 4 pm and till 6 pm, we were literally just going here and there in the hot sun. When we called our guide, he didn't even have the decency to answer the calls. And then when he finally picked the call, he told us to wait at the gate and that he is coming. But there we had to wait for about 1/2 hour more. By that time the sunset was almost over. We were able to only take 6-7 photos before the sun completely set. The camel ride was a mere 1 minute (And no, I am not exaggerating). When we reached the camp site, it was packed with people. We were the absolute last ones to arrive. Our tables were at the back of the setting which made it impossible to properly enjoy any of the shows. The buffet food was also not good with limited options. All in all, a very bad experience. 😔😔

    My boyfriend and I did this tour for my birthday and it was the BEST (birth)day ever. The whole experience was so awesomely curated, with lots of highlights and amazing stops. The food was just fantastic and the iftar spot very charming. Our guide was so friendly and did an amazing job in ensuring that we have a great time (also he took amazing pictures of us). Honestly each minute spent on this trip was a magical gift. ❤️ If you really want to experience the beauty of untouched desert and Arabian charm, I highly recommend this tour!

    We had Camel Ride Experience in Dubai and it was really really amazing experience. Very amicable and helpful driver name Usman picked us up from hotel. He was super genuine and friendly, greeted us with warm gestures. He was very informative too, my husband loved to talk with him during the whole journey, made it better experience for my husband. 45 minutes drive to the destination was felt comfortable and enjoyable. Our Camel Ride tour leader’s name was Soomar, find him when you want the fun experience riding camel! My family and I really enjoyed every second we rode camel for the first time. Soomar was very kind and entertaining to our children too and ensure our children’s safety, comfort and jolly as his priority during the whole journey. This was very important for us since we wanted to give children the best experience they could have while in Dubai. So thank you Soomar!!

    The desert safari was absolutely amazing! We took the night one in mid February and the temperature was perfect - neither cold, nor hot. The camel riding, sandoarding, dressing up, henna drawing and all the organization were great!!!

  • 5/5 Tsvetan V. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to this adventure with my pregnant wife. My high rate is regarding the kindness and professionally behaviour of the people from the company. The driver who picked up us from the hotel was very kind and always was trying to open conversation with someone from our group. We was 6 person in the car and was very comfortable l. During our trip to the camp the driver was explaining us about Dubai about the places which we was passing nearby the road. When we arrived we left the group, they for a drive in the desert with the SUV and we staid in the camp. We had time to make a photos and to study a little bit the place. After 45 minutes the group returned and we was ready to start with the dinner and show. Totally there was 3 shows. The first one was very interesting dance from Egypt the guy who was acting was very good! 2nd was belly dancing whic was not soo good. The woman dancer was from Portugal and she was not soo good. 3rd show was with fire tricks and music this one was also very good! The diner was absolutely enough they made fresh barbecue on side with 3 kinds of meat. Salads and vegetables as well. The staff was very kind and careful they divide peoples into a groups when you go to take food from the open table and follows good restrictions. Next time we want to enjoy the desert drive as well the others from the group was very satisfied.

    Frustrating experience. Car service from the airport was confusing; it was not very clear where to go or who to meet. Had to message the company on WhatsApp to figure it out. The desert safari booking itself was poorly executed. They had an itinerary which showed a different time than the one given to my travel agency. Their time was an hour earlier, so they showed up to pick me up and (not surprisingly!) I was not there to be picked up yet.... But nobody from the company called or messaged me. They left a note with the front desk and left. I followed up with this company and they were not very helpful in trying to reschedule or get a refund and just pointed me back to my travel agent - which is fine, and understandable, but there wasn't even much of an apology offered and they were hard to communicate with. I rebooked a safari trip with another company and had a far smoother experience. Only reason this is 2 stars and not 1 is because the car to the airport did show up and it was comfortable and on time. Otherwise this company is poorly organized and needs to work more on their communication with their customers and less on slick marketing.

  • 1/5 Brittaney J. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m writing because I’m highly displeased with the service myself, and my husband received today. We originally booked a tour with a 700cc quad bike and upon arrival we seen it was a 450cc. We were told the 700cc bike wasn’t available and was given a 900cc buggy. Before pulling off , the instructor informed us that If the bike light came on indicating it was running hot to beep the horn so he could stop. 30 minutes into touring the bike ran hot , we came to an abrupt stop. We were stuck in the middle of the desert. 110 degree weather with no water . Also an tour guide whom couldn’t speak english. almost 1 hour into being stopped in the middle of the desert panicking , overheating sun burns and near passing out ! it took the same amount of time for instructors to find us. Surprisingly my phone had service and I was able to reach out via what’s-app to the number provided when booking. They asked” where are you” as if the middle of the desert had signs to indicate where I was located !! We were dehydrated, scared and upset. Once instructors found our location , we immediately told them we were ready to go. Though we still had 90 minutes left on tour with added camel rides for two. we were to exhausted and distraught to continue. I reached out to personnel whom I booked the tour through to inform them of our incident and to resolve this issue! ultimately we would like our Money back. The message was viewed and I never received a response. This was very displeasing and unacceptable!

    The ride was superb, we had Raj as our driver, and the experience was awesome. Arabian adventures is an amazing trip for all the family and I would definitely recommend it. (If you get Raj then you are in for a good time). Also the camel ride, camp and sand boarding were amazing fun. Just a side note: I recently read a 1 star review and I would like to say that pretty much everything in it is untrue, from the claim that it is not in the desert, to the allegation that it is a slow driving experience. When in reality, it is in the middle of a desert in a nature reserve 1hr from dubai and it is an exhilarating off-road experience.

  • 3/5 Aamer F. 2 years ago on Google
    Food 2 star, the BBQ is NOT unlimited, taste below average. Variety of food is Ok but tasteless according to me. Soft drinks and water is unlimited when the start the food around 7:30pm. Before that you have to pay for cold drink. Sitting on the bean bags for food and watching shows is free, however sitting on the couch costs AED 50 per head and it comes with foodservice up to the table. Shows are good. Total number of shows are 4. Two so called belly dancing, 1 fire dance and one traditional Turkish dance. Sitting on camel for 1 min is free, however if you want ride, pay extra. One stamp of Henna on hand is free, if you want more pay extra. Dune bashing was for total 5 mins only and the dunes are relatively small, not that adrenalin rushing according to me. Quad bike if extra at 100AED FOR 20 MINS. Total time of all these; 3.5 to 4 Hrs. Value for money considering pickup and drop - 4 star.
