Dinner in the Desert with Traditional Show & Optional Activities

I hadn't really expected too much from the Desert safaris since I've been living int he GCC for a long time. But I must say the trip was great and Aqib our tour guide from Fun Tours was great. Enjoyed the buggy drive, dune bashing, the dinner show and the ending piece.

It all started well. Our guide picked us up on time from our hotel. We stopped at a camp for activities. We thought we could take pictures of the camels, but when we wanted to get on them, our guide said no and only took pictures next to the camel. The bashing dune was great, only the photo stop in the middle of the desert is very very fast as well as surfing activity. One 10-second descent for each person and we drive up for an hour to the camp for lunch. Meals and show very well. However, at the end, the guide requires you to put a score of 5 on the site. Not understanding English very well, he even took our phone several times to connect on his wifi and force us to a very positive comment. Having made several excursions to different countries and even Dubai with other agencies this never happened to us. We believe that reviews should be free and personal and not imposed. This is a deplorable approach.

If you're in Dubai, the desert tour is definitely something you shouldn't miss. The overall experience is truly amazing — from the breathtaking desert landscape to the lively evening entertainment. The dinner was average in terms of quality, but the night show was a highlight, featuring talented dancers and two impressive performers with fire. One downside: the souvenir shops are not worth your time or money, so it's best to skip them. Unfortunately, our driver had poor driving skills, although he made an effort to be friendly and accommodating. All in all, a memorable experience with a few areas that could be improved.

This activity is not for the environmentally conscious but is a great way to get out to the relatively unaltered desert landscape. ‘Bashing’ 4WD on the dunes is kinda silly and destructive. This activity results in a large number of discarded plastic water bottles and trash you will see throughout the dunes. On the other hand sand boarding is a less impactful, fun and far less destructive part of the trip. More sand boarding, less driving please. The dinner was good, but more commercialized than expected. For example belly dancing yes, fire dancers not really a great addition. My wife did go to the henna tattoo booth and absolutely loved that option. Please care for the Sharjah desert and remove the trash !

The tour was very good and we really loved the bikes and the dessert show. Nasir was fantastic as our host. Having to wait 2 hours for dinner was a bit long but other than that perfect

interesting combination quad/ camel/ sand boarding/ dinner- BBQ and show in the desert- but price/performance top! relatively short driving time from Dubai

I'd like to share my experience of the Dinner in desert Dubai tour. We got a super guide, if you have a choice, choose Mirza Ali. With the jokes with the music and the cool pictures they stayed. He has real talent )

Jabar was our driver very friendly made you feel very welcomed amazing driver in the dunes made our whole experience amazing took photos for us and sent them to us straight away 5* review for him and the camp was lovely food was lovely and shows were great

I have done this many times with just my partner & youngest child. This time we brought our 5 older children too & we needed two vehicles - Dad in one with the three older boys & me in the other with the two girls & youngest child. I was nervous as dune bashing is the only thing that gives me an actual thrill & feeling of fear, plus all of our boys are autistic & the youngest can be particularly difficult. Our driver Muhammad was incredible, he was super friendly & reassuring of our safety at all times & he was incredibly supportive when our youngest was being difficult due to his anxiety & autism. My daughters & me felt incredibly safe & very respected at all times. Muhammad was a professional gentleman. Obviously the dune bashing is just amazing & all of our children absolutely had the times of their lives! The camp was great, lots of opportunities to buy souvenirs, especially traditional clothing & professional photographs, do not be put off by the bartering this is just a culture & way of life & you can barter back or say no at any time! The hospitality was top draw, the washroom facilities were clean, the camp was very pretty & the food & entertainment was great...not forgetting the camels, they were adorable & the kids & I loved riding them! You'd be foolish to visit Dubai & not do something authentic like this - still by far my favourite thing to do when I visit, away from the city under the stars.

Adil was a really good guide and driver. Make sure we got there at sunset and gave a little drive in the desert. Really good trip
