We had an absolutely amazing time on our desert safari! Our driver Wajid was exceptional—he took us everywhere and made sure we got to experience everything to the fullest. We got to ride quad bikes, ride camels, and he even brought a board along so we could go sandboarding down the dunes. On top of that, his dune bashing driving skills were incredible—he did some really cool tricks on the dunes! ​Afterward, we went to the camp where they had a delicious buffet with unlimited food. Throughout the evening, there were awesome live performances, including traditional dance and fire shows. Everything was top-notch from start to finish. Highly recommended!

The Dubai desert safari is truly an unforgettable experience! From the thrilling dune bashing in the golden sands to the serene beauty of the sunset over the desert, every moment feels magical. The traditional Bedouin camp offers a perfect blend of culture and entertainment, with delicious local cuisine, mesmerizing belly dancing, and henna art. The camel rides and sandboarding add an adventurous touch, making it an ideal mix of excitement and relaxation. It’s a must-do activity for anyone visiting Dubai!

Thank you to Badshah Khan, our guide for desert safari. He was very professional, accommodating and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our desert safari experience as Badshah ensured that we visited all areas which were the quad biking, camel riding, sand boarding, dune bashing and camp with several shows and dinner. We felt very comfortable and were taken care of very well. Badshah made sure that we had water in the car and safely dropped us back to our hotel. We would definitely recommend Badshah, as he provides a 5 star service, and ensures that you have a memorable experience. Thank you to Badshah from UK family.

We have joined the VIP desert safari BBQ dinner tour. It is great! Dune bashing is very exciting. Camel riding is very fun with video and photos taken for us by our guide. BBQ dinner is yummy with plenty of dishes. We watched three different performances over the dinner including belly dance. The guide/driver has taken good care of us and with lots of patience. A must do and must go activities in Dubai visit.

The dessert Safari tour was a great way to experience another side of “Dubai”. It was positively jam packed with the quad bikes (the one included in the package is held in a busy dessert camp off the road rather than deep in the desert) , dune bashing, sand boarding and dinner with entertainment at the Bedouin camp (overall a well worth excursion!). Our tour guide Emdad was very patient, respectful and a great driver- would recommend him. Many thanks Emdad see you at our next tour :)

Our desert safari in Dubai was an absolutely thrilling and adventurous experience — truly a must-do! We were lucky to have Wajid as our guide, and he made the entire trip exceptional. He was incredibly polite, friendly, and attentive, always ready to answer our questions and ensure we were comfortable throughout. The dune bashing was an adrenaline rush, and Wajid’s driving skills were impressive! He also captured some stunning sunset photos of us, which turned out beautifully. From start to finish, he arranged everything seamlessly, making the whole experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. The dance and fire shows in the end were really amazing and exciting. Highly recommend this tour — especially with Wajid as your guide!
