Great

Driving in sand dunes was very enjoyable. Alot of waiting around when you got back to the camp it was almost an hour before dinner was served. There was not much to do unless you spent money on drinking it would have been much better if dinner was served within 20 mins of getting back to camp.

+ Buffén var riktigt bra + Åkturen i öken var häftig och att uppleva ett otroligt häftigt landskap + Underhållning under middagen var bra, speciellt eldshowen + Kul att testa på sandboarding - När man precis kommer får man en sjal att ********** huvudet och man får intrycket av att det är gratis. Det är det verkligen inte, den kostar 100 AED vilket är ett rejält överpris. - Chauffören var trevlig och bra men kändes stressad över att vi skulle åka hem tidigare innan showerna var sut.

Jeep Safari war ein tolles Erlebnis.Die Fahren waren sehr erfahren und wir fühlten uns jederzeit sicher im Auto.Was uns leider nicht so gut gefallen hat,war das BBQ im Camp.Wir mussten fast anderthalb Stunden aufs Essen warten,dann war es auch noch kalt und das Fleisch verbrannt.Hingegen waren dann die Tanzvorführungen wieder super,was es dann wieder ein wenig entschädigt hat.

Alles auf billig gemacht. Kamelritt 100 Meter. Henna Tatoo einfachste Auswahl. Essen ok. Show mittelmässig. Das Beste war die Fahrt auf den Dühnen dank einem klugen Fahrer der früher gestartet ist als die Anderen. Damit hatten wir die Dünen für uns allein bevor der Rest der Besucher kam.

De activiteit op zich was super enkel was het enorm duur indien je in het kamp zelf iets wou kopen zoals kleding of een ijsje, dat is wel heel spijtig dat ze echt overdreven met prijzen.

Driver helpful, show good fun. Too many cars on safari, easy for accident to occur. Food not great at camp. Entertainment was varied and fun. A schedule of the day would be useful in advance along with guide to clothing, shoes, big spray etc. An option to not do dune bashing would be good as some other people do vomit!

The overall trip was excellent,the only issue we had and not so much an issue is that having 6 adults in the 4 x 4 is the back seats are that you are sitting with no real leg room and when we were picked up from the hotel as my husband has both knees replaced we had to ask one of the other guests to sit in the back with me so my opinion would be is to only have 4 adults and maybe 2 children at a time and if no children in the group you go with just 4 adults

Så trevlig chaufför, showen på kvällen var sådär, för mycket upprepning. Förutom eldshowen som var underhållande.

This Desert Safari trip is amazing! Its a must do if you go to Dubai! Our driver was absolutely amazing and made it very enjoyable for my husband, myself and our 2 sons (14&20) He was punctual, experienced and very friendly. Our son's loved the sand dunes and the action!! The food and entertainment was also incredible.

Guide was brilliant. Safari was very good and fun. The food wasn’t great at all, but you’re in the middle of a desert so understandable. Quite expensive for what it was.

Average

Rather unorganised. 7 people crammed in one vehicle. Food was ok but could have been warmer The dune experience in the 4x4 was very good but was not informed there was the choice to do quad bike or buggy experience also Sand duning very disappointing, awful location made it impossible to do.

October 2021

No need to go to the ‘camp’ before the dunes as it doesn’t enhance the experience just an opportunity for guests to be coaxed into spending money. Dunes were good. Too long back at the camp later. 1.5 hours doing nothing. Food was served once all parties were back by which point it dark.

September 2021

Although they were 1 hour late to pick us up and ended missing that total hour from our trip, the safari was great fun, exciting and the hosts were polite.
