Tour company didn’t arrive sadly

We booked several days before the tour date and had booking confirmation. Didn’t hear anything from the tour company before the tour but that’s not unusual having booked several things via Viator before. We waited outside our hotel at the tour time ready for pick up as was offered and notified on the booking. We were waiting for over an hour at the hotel and no one came. I messaged the tour operator while waiting to say we were waiting and then later for an ETA on arrival but no reply. I also called but it said unavailable. After an hour, I then messaged Viator who also tried the tour company but no response from them. I understand from hotel staff that delays can happen but it would have been good to be kept in the loop. We only had that day for a safari tour before leaving Dubai and it was too late to arrange anything else with another company because we didn’t know if they were just delayed. I understand these things happen and companies see hundreds of tourists each day but communication would have been key here. We were left massively disappointed by the lack of contact, lack of tour and ultimately lack of experience. We still don’t know what happened, except booking, paying, waiting and no one arriving.

Magical Evening in the Desert

The sunset was magical, painting the desert sky with shades of orange and pink – truly a picture-perfect moment. The campsite was warm and welcoming, with traditional Arabic hospitality. I loved the camel ride, henna art, and the chance to dress in traditional attire for photos.

Best Dune Buggy Tour.

We had so much fun in the desert safari. We did the self drive dune buggies in the open desert. The guide was nice and good . Highly recommended

Avoid if you value your time

I have no idea how they still have good/high rate... If you value your time at all DO NOT GO! 1. They take you with old, small, stinking of gas/diesel bus all smushed together (like 50 people in a little bigger bus than minivan which seems is about to break any second) and the ride takes you 2 HOURS ONE WAY - which they do not tell you... 2. The safari ride is nice, but maximum 10 minutes!!! This is a joke to drive 4 hours total to get 10minutes ride! 3. Then you have 2-3 hours "free" time basically just sitting in the middle of desert not doing anything... 4. Camel ride is a joke and also the camels are angry (hitting people) and very poorly taken care... 5. Food - definitely not a barbeque and just passable quality (my stomach didn't really felt well after the food) 6. The "amazing" show is just basically 3 belly dances and one guy doing fire performance for 10 minutes 7. Sandboarding - NON EXISTENT (after 1 hour going back and forward asking about they brought to us one broken board and told to go from dune next to the place which was small and as board is all broken and scratched dis not even move from spot for anyone in the group... 8. Also the "nice" staff someone was telling about is not that nice at all just trying to rip you off on everything! Buy picture, buy soft drinks, buy camel ride basically buy everything what was supposed to be included! AVOID this tour at any cost. I have been to plenty tours but this one was the worst I ever had! Super angry I wasted the whole day for this.... 8. Soft drinks only when performances start (19:30) and it is cola and sprite mixed with water... No gas no taste...
