Top notch all the way through from the door to door pickup up at your hotel to the multi course meal, the camel rides and photos plus videos. This is one of those you have to do if you ever visit Dubai.

Desert Magic in Dubai

Worth every penny of this luxury Safari! Beautiful new Land Rover and a passionate experienced guide allowed us to fully experience the desert terrain and wildlife while respecting nature. After some spectacular sunset pictures with your own private photographer we were treated to an exclusive falconary show, owl experience, camel rides, musical entertainment, unique fireshow and henna painting in a bougie pop up camp. The multicourse dinner truly was at a Michelin quality level. Nothing was rushed and the huge staff's only focus was on us. Add hookah and stargazing to top off a magical night. Finally a shout out to the professionalism of the entire team that made this a day to rememember and helped with last minute logistical chages!

Operator response

It’s especially rewarding to know that the pace, personal attention, and professionalism of the entire team made the experience so memorable, even with last-minute logistical changes. We sincerely appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another magical desert experience in the future.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Luxury Safari Experience – Michelin Magic in the Dubai Desert!

If you're looking for an unforgettable, world-class experience in Dubai, look no further. The Michelin-curated luxury safari tour was nothing short of magical — every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the level of service was simply outstanding. From the very start, our tour guide Razak made the experience truly exceptional. Warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about the desert and its culture, he brought every moment to life. His energy and insight elevated the entire journey. This tour was a special birthday celebration that far exceeded every expectation. My colleague joined me on a whim, and she was just as captivated by the experience. One of the unforgettable highlights was riding camels across the tranquil, golden dunes — an extraordinary way to connect with the stunning desert landscape. We also had the rare and awe-inspiring opportunity to meet a falcon and an owl up close, adding an authentic and enriching touch to an already magical safari. The absolute standout moment was dining under the stars. The Michelin-curated meal, crafted by Executive Chef Manish Khot, was a culinary masterpiece — every course was a celebration of flavor and presentation. To top it all off, the team surprised me with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. This wasn’t just a tour — it was a luxury experience that touched all the senses. I would return to Dubai just to do this again. It’s that special. Whether you're celebrating something meaningful or simply want to indulge in the best Dubai has to offer, this safari is a must.

Operator response

Hi alexamaruska, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear your birthday celebration was so memorable and that Razak, along with the Michelin-curated experience, made it truly special. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another magical evening under the stars!

It was a nice way to see the cultural outback of Dubai. Eating in the desert was great, but a little hot

Dubai desert tour

This tour is beyond amazing. My husband and I went for our 15th wedding anniversary and it exceeded our expectations. I would strongly recommend coming to this tour (any of the options) over any other desert tour. Thank you to Jovan our guide.
