Excellent - we'll back for sure
The tour with our guide, Mustafa, was excellent - all the way from the punctual pickup, to his extensive knowledge of the desert and animals. I did a similar tour back in 2019 and I would recommend booking the wildlife experience/white dunes experience with Oasis Tours, as the last guide was rather grumpy, whereas Mustafa was very attentive and the tour much longer than the trip to the red dunes near Sharjah. As for animals, there were plenty of Oryx, Gazelles and Flamingos around. 10/10

Top Safari
It was really fun. You get a fun Safari ride, the music is good, you get decent food and the performances are great (fire & belly dancers end the show). Top

The best desert safari ever -
All the program was great, the deivers of our group were excellent and helpful. There were 2 pregnant ladies in our group and still we could enjoy a “light” version of the dune safari. Both the program and the meal, together with the general ambient atthe camp were first class, I would definitely recommend the whole pack to anyone visiting Dubai. I have visited several similar programs here in Dubai and there is none worth comparing. Thank you so much! Special thanks to Mr. Jaffre for making our afternoon and evening so pleasant!
