Traveler reviews
Unforgettable memories of our Dinner safari in Dubai
would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Chandu from Orient Tours for making our Dinner Safari an absolutely memorable experience. He wasn’t just our guide—he felt like another family member, taking great care of us throughout the journey. One of the highlights was when he enthusiastically did a photoshoot of me jumping on the desert safari—such a fun and unforgettable moment! His encouragement pushed us to embrace new experiences, creating memories we will always treasure. I truly miss the breathtaking desert safari views, the stunning sights, and especially Chandu’s thrilling yet fun driving! Thank you again, Chandu, for making this adventure so special. From Harsha and family
Great fun!
The sand dune driving was great fun! And longer than expected. The Tanura dancing was an unexpected highlight.
Must do
Very good tour. It last just long enough and is does not become boring at no time. We did morning tour , so don't know about other activities in the evening.
Evening Desert safari with dinner
We were collected 13 October on time from our hotel and shared a 4x4 with others we picked up along the way and drove 65km out to magnificent sand dunes where we roller coasted over the dunes. It was a lot of fun and included a photo stop where you could see sand for miles as well as a camel stop where you could interact and take photos with the camels. Our driver guide Kabeer manoeuvred the dunes with precision and took great photos of anyone that wished it. By the time we arrived at camp the sun was setting displaying an array of gorgeous colours. Before dark you could sand board, camel ride, dress in traditional attire, or sit to have your hand decorated with henna not to mention an up close and personal view of a peregrine Falcon. A sumptuous buffet middle eastern dinner ensued whilst sitting on cushions at low tables with entertaining performers. All in all the balmy evening and whole experience managed by Kabeer was wonderful. Highly recommend Orient tours and Kabeer who enhanced our whole experience.
A great end to our family holiday
Outstanding service and reliability. A great experience for the whole family. Adventure, excitement, culture and food.
