1/5 – Very Disappointing Desert Safari Experience

⭐ 1/5 – Very Disappointing Desert Safari Experience We booked a desert safari with ABC Tourism LLC (ABC Tours Dubai), and unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the high price compared to other operators. We traveled as a family with an infant, expecting a well-planned and memorable experience. The trip started from Dubai at 4:00 PM, but we only reached the desert around 5:40 PM. By the time we arrived, the sun was already setting. Dune bashing lasted for barely 5 minutes, after which all activities like camel ride and sandboarding were conducted at night. There were no daytime desert views, no proper sunset experience, and no daylight photos at all, which is one of the main highlights of a desert safari. Desert activities are meant to be enjoyed during the day, and doing everything in the dark completely ruined the experience. I have never experienced or seen a desert safari planned like this anywhere. We had upgraded to the VIP lounge, and food started around 7:00 PM. The food was decent, with a good variety and multiple optionsβ€”that was the only acceptable part of the tour. Overall, the experience was poorly timed, overpriced, and extremely disappointing. Definitely not recommended, especially for families or anyone expecting a proper desert safari experience. πŸ™†πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ™†πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Absolutely great day out!

Rasheed was absolutely amazing!! He was polite, helpful and real good fun! The dune bashing with him was hilarious and the drive home he was teaching us about Dubai culture and pointing things out of interest! The whole tour was great, the quad biking experience was unreal, especially getting to sea the sunset over the desert. The buffet/bbq food was really good too. Would definitely book again and hopefully get Rasheed as our driver again, big thank you to ABC tours.

Avoid at all cost

It is so poorly organised - and not at all worth the money for sure. The camel ride lasted less than 5’ and it basically was a back and forth from the camp base. The camp was in such a poor sanitary condition. Surprising for Dubai. The Dune ride was nothing more than a driver enjoying himself by forcing the car to go left and right on the dune. Absolutely not interesting whatsoever.

exceptionally professional

ABC Tours was professional throughout, from hotel pick up to drop off and everything in between; the activities in the desert, like sand boarding, camel rides, quad bike and sand dune bashing were unhurried and leisurely. There was no pressure sell, the dinner was exquisite, and varied, including barbecued meats and plenty of vegetarian options. The shows were spectacular; and mesmerising.
