Traveler reviews
Perfect family desert experience
We booked the private Heritage Safari with our 3-year-old daughter, and it exceeded expectations. Everything ran like clockwork - pickup was on time, no waiting around, smooth transitions between activities. With a toddler, that matters more than anything. Lovely touch right from the start with welcome gifts - a nice surprise that set the tone for the whole experience. Our guide Samuel was fantastic. Attentive, caring, and great with our daughter. He made sure we were comfortable throughout and genuinely seemed to enjoy sharing the experience with us. The camel rides were a hit with our little one, and the stargazing session at the end was magical - so many stars you’d never see in the city. The food was incredible - and way too much of it! We couldn’t finish everything, which is exactly the kind of problem you want. Delicious traditional dishes in a beautiful Bedouin camp setting. Highly recommend for families. One of the highlights of our Dubai trip.
Cool.
I would highly recommend this experience. For those from foreign countries, this is a once in a lifetime experience. Each activity had little bits of information about the history of the desert. Additionally, the entire staff was kind and helpful. Some highlights are the falconry show, the camel ride, and the stargazing. I was able to clearly see many well known stars such as Rigel and Betelgeuse from the Orion constellation. The staff pointed out the history and explained the mythology behind each constellation. An example of this could be the Casseopiea constellation, which was depicted as a herd of camels. The middle star was the abysmal, and the surrounding adult camels were protecting it. In summary, this was a detailed and fun experience perfect for a family trip.
Highly recommended and stress free experience.
November 27, 2025 Nikki - servers Nikki was very friendly and helpful. He made us feel very welcome and made our experience great. Bash - Host for Main Meal Bash was fantastic when it comes to crowd control with his sense of humor, he kept our attention with information with a side of jokes. Saeed - Driver and tour guide Saeed was fantastic from start to finish. He was on time for our hotel pick up, the vehicle was clean and cold. On the drive heading to the desert location, he was able to give us many information what what we should expect and was able to answer all of our questions regarding the tour and everything about Dubai from the culture, food, and history. Once we arrived at the desert location, Saeed gave us the water flask and the scarf for our heads which he also helped put it on our heads. During the tour he was always present for any question and informing us about the area, animals, history and culture. Once the desert tour finished, he drove us to the dinner area where he gave us a tour on where the food, drinks, activities and toilets were located at. Once the dinner was finished and the star gazing was finished. Saeed drove us back to the hotel safely and stressed free. So I would highly recommend to request Saeed as your driver and tour guide if you are planning to book this amazing desert trip.
