Traveler reviews
Exceptional experience with professional staff
It was an Amazing experience with Huznoor our driver and guide from Srilanka. Very professional, discrete and it was an experience of a lifetime for my family with 2 teenage kids. Dunebashing, Wildlife with Oryx sightings were icing on the cake. Picnic style breakfast and then a drive to the lakes was amazing too. Driver picked up at 5am sharp and dropped us back at our hotel by 945am with precision planning and execution. Totally enjoyed this outright and fully recommend this !
Fantastic
Fantastic all round experience, The driver was very knowledgeable and friendly , from pick up to drop off the whole experience was great , the early morning start let us get through the city in no time the small groups allowed us to enjoy the desert sunrise and our driver was very helpful with photographs , cannot recommend this trip anymore,👍🏻
This tour was a great...
This tour was a great experience. Our driver was a great wildlife spotter in the pre-dawn light. The trip was a great way to see the desert as the sun came up. Dune bashing injected some excitement into the trip. We enjoyed every minute of the trip.
Desert Adventure
Had a great time on this trip with our guide Mustafa. We saw Oryx, gazelles, flamingoes, desert hares & a falcon. We enjoyed Arabic coffee & dates as we watched the sunrise and went sand boarding. We didn’t do dune bashing (by choice) but visited a different area for camel riding instead (pre-arranged). Mustafa was a very knowledgeable and very helpful tour guide.
Great experience with an amazing driver (Ornell)
I had the most serene desert safari with Orient Tours, From the minute our driver Mr. Ornell picked me up I knew I was in for a treat. He was on time (4am sharp), the 4x4 was spotless and before starting the safari he made sure I knew what to expect, from time to time he kept checking if everyone in the vehicle was comfortable. The dune bashing was absolutely thrilling, between focusing on the excitement of the dune bashing and Michael Jackson (playing) who was also part of the thrill I must say my adrenaline was thro' the roof💃🕺🏽. I liked it soooo much that the driver suggested before leaving Dubai I should try the sunset safari as well, which I did (THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP ORNELL) If you happen to be in Dubai ask Orient people to send you this guy..... he made the whole experience something special. Oh the sunrise view was breathtaking! The flamingos lake 💫
