Amazing staff really fun and upbeat really made the tour great! Really helpful and was a really luxury experience for a dune buggy tour. Really enjoyed and had a laugh. Zane
Wow!!!! Thank you Zerzura team, what an absolutely amazing trip. Starting with the hotel pick up and drop off, it was faultless. The driver (Shahzad) reached out to us via text the day before and on the day to confirm the pick up time. He arrived at our hotel exactly as planned. Once we arrived at the Zerzura site, it was clear we had made the right choice, a really professional set up in the Mleiha National Park, driving on real sand dunes in proper sand buggies, not the farmer type Polaris vehicles that a lot of other companies use on man made tracks. Our guide Fred lead the way and once he could see we were happy driving he increased the speed, making for a an exhilarating ride but always within our ability. We hired a 4 seater buggy and the 3 of us that wanted to drive, all had a go. My boys 18 & 16 absolutely loved it. Another big plus is there was no upsell. How many times has an excursion provider tried to sell you photos of your experience? Not with Zerzura. Our guide (Fred) took loads of pictures and videos of us using my iPhone, so we had loads of memories for free. For me, that just reinforced their professionalism. If you want to drive sand buggies in Dubai, book with Zerzura, you won’t regret it
What an experience!! From minute one the people who attended us were very attentive and friendly, explained the safety regulations and gave us a small welcome snack. I loved that the groups were so small, we were 4 in 2 buggies + the guide, who was always very vigilant about us and our safety. At one point, the other buggie of my friends had a puncture and in less than 10 minutes they had fixed it! In short, I loved the experience and the treatment was unbeatable, I would repeat without any doubt!! Thank you very much to all the team members who made this possible!
Fabulous experience and superb customer service! The buggies are amazing and sand boarding is excellent. Camel rides are also included which is another fantastic experience. Watching the sunset is also a bonus if you do the early evening session.
The activity was well organized and carried out by the zerzura team: we booked online following a really simple procedure, in the morning a car with private driver picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the base camp in the Mleiha desert about 1h from Dubai. After refreshments and explanations on how to follow the guide and safety, we set off on the dunes on a really fantastic and reckless route! We stopped a couple of times for photos and dune-boards and to see the fossils. The guides helped us and provided enough water. Upon returning to base camp we took a short camel ride and then we were offered refreshments, very welcome given the scorching weather! Finally the driver took us back to the hotel. Overall a wonderful experience!
Unlike other places in the UAE, it's very peaceful, with only 2 cars per guide and no one else! The trails are chic, the views are great, no rubbish in the desert, very detailed briefing, guides are always ready to help, interesting story about the places here and help take cool photos! The gathering place is also chic: water, tea, candy, beautiful entourage. They also rode a little on camels and took photos))
Amazing people ❤️ helpful, I will recommend 100%👌 you will love the camel ride and the buggy ride across the desert😍😍😍
