Dubai: Desert Safari, Quad bike and Sand boarding with BBQ Dinner

We booked it through insta, it was definitely worth the money. The quad bikes were good and fun to ride, and the food was okaish nothing fancy. The desert safari itself was the highlight. Our guide Sameer was really friendly, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. Big thanks to Tom and Sameer for taking such good care of us and making the trip smooth and fun. One important tip for future travelers stay away from the random vendors who approach you in the desert and try to sell photos, scarves, or souvenirs at crazy prices. They can be very pushy and charge a fortune. Thanks especially to Tom for warning us about this before the tour started that really helped. Overall a good experience with a great guide and a memorable desert adventure.

Enjoyed the safari a lot, food was good but the most excellent part was the atv ride had fun 🤩

I booked this desert safari experience (including quad biking, sandboarding, and BBQ dinner) through Viator in advance of my trip to Dubai, and it turned out to be a major disappointment from start to finish. On the original booking date (29th June), no one showed up for the hotel pickup. We waited over an hour and couldn’t reach anyone on the contact number provided. We received a message later that day apologising and were offered a rescheduled booking for the following day. The next day, we were picked up promptly and given a private car as compensation. Unfortunately, things didn’t improve much. The driver barely communicated with us, and the whole experience felt unwelcoming. At the quad biking location, we were told we had to share bikes for only 20 minutes, unless we paid more to upgrade — this was never mentioned at booking. It was disorganised and felt like a rushed cash grab. Dune bashing was the highlight — but even that was ruined when we stopped in the desert to take a photo with a falcon (advertised as free). After taking the pictures, a man aggressively demanded 250 AED (£50). When I questioned it, he became pushy and intimidating — I felt extremely uncomfortable with my family in the middle of the desert. I gave him 100 AED just to get out of the situation, and he even followed me back to the vehicle demanding more. At the camp, we were bombarded with more upsells — camel photos, VIP seating for 200 AED, paid drinks unless you waited for the buffet to start. Even the free henna for women was done reluctantly and poorly — my wife wiped it off straight away. The food was average, but extremely spicy (not ideal for kids), and entertainment was very basic. We left early, disappointed and frustrated. This whole experience felt more like a money-making trap than an enjoyable tour. I’ve done desert safaris before and this was by far the worst. Misleading advertising, poor organisation, and constant pressure to spend more made it a stressful experience for my entire family. I have been back and forward with my complaint and have now been offered a partial refund.

Highly recommend, sameer was very friendly, picked up on time at hotel and dropped off. Good service deffo would use again

Sameer was very friendly, had alot of knowledge, excellant skilled driver. Lots of fun, with the right amount of time at each avtivity, not rushed at all. As a family of 5 well worth the experience. Definitely will be booking again,

Demn... amazing experience!!!!! surely not gonna forget this one!!!Our guide, Tom, brought such enthusiasm and expertise that it made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The buggies were simple to handle, allowing everyone to join in on the fun as we sped across the breathtaking red dunes. We especially loved taking breaks to admire the stunning views and capture memorable family photos. This adventure not only provided excitement but also strengthened our family bond. I highly recommend this experience for anyone seeking a fantastic family outing!

The tour was fantabulous! Great sights, excellent tour guides are ingredients for an unforgettable experience. Special Thanks to Mr. Thomas and Guide Mr. Sameer they was wonderful!

Sameer was a great guide. Excellent experience. highly recommend the atv and dune bashing. They also picked us up and dropped off

You certainly cannot miss an excursion to the desert during your holiday in Dubai. After a few days of research among the tours offered online we decide to rely on Dubai City Tours. Pick-up at the hotel around 2pm we complete the pick-ups and head towards the desert. After about 1 hour by car we arrive at our destination. The excursion consists of 2 parts. . In the first part of our indoor tour, you can choose between renting a quad, taking a photo camel ride or buying some souvenirs; Subsequently Feroz our driver prepares the tires turns up the volume of the music and we immerse ourselves with his Toyota 4x4 among the desert dunes, a sort of dance in the car between descents and climbs and skidding, this practice is called dune bashing and it was for us a unique and very adrenaline-filled experience. . For the second part of our excursion we move to a camp equipped with tables, cushions and a stage, from here we enjoy our Arabian sunset and then a barbecue in sight, during the barbecue you can interact with the local in the kitchen who they will be happy to show you how authentic Arabic bread is made. The sun goes down and the dancers show begins, we eat fire all while we savor our authentic Arabian dinner. At around 8pm we get into the car and our driver takes us back to the hotel fully satisfied with our experience in the desert. Dubai City Tours went beyond our expectations a highly recommended experience.

Worth the money it was well organized and staffs were really friendly special thanks to tom for making this tour great 😊❤️🤝
