5 stars isn't enough!

The entire experience was amazing! They picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off at the airport afterwards, meaning they also watched our luggage during the Camel safari and dinner. Driver did a great job, as did everyone else we interacted with.

This trip is highly...

This trip is highly recommandable. There is a huge program in a desert camp wich is reached in on a camel's back. A drone video is taken and sold at a fair price. The mael is extremely tasty but make sure to arrive hungry, if you want to try all of it. Amazing, how the nightsky is visible in the desert and it is very well explained too. Our guide AYAZ explained plenty of additional things about Dubai, the city and the desert. We will repeat this trip during our next stay in Dubai for sure.

Desert experience of a lifetime.🐪

Our great experience began with Asim Javed, our friendly and informative driver who picked us up at our hotel. Our family of six enjoyed all aspects of the safari: the camel caravan at sunset across the Arabian Desert where we saw Arabian gazelle, the Peregrine falcon show, the henna artist, the excellent foods, the cultural show, the ride in a 1950s vintage Land Rover. Everyone associated with the tour was awesome and friendly. We highly recommend this tour. We also recommend purchasing the photos and video. This was definitely an experience of a lifetime.
