Description

The tour begins with our vehicle picking you up from your home or hotel and driving you down to the outskirts of the desert. Here starts your exciting desert journey in a 4X4 vehicle that would take you on a dune bashing ride. Experience your adrenaline going high up while the sand sweeps around your vehicle and you cascade on the steep sand dunes. Once you arrive at the desert campsite, you can enjoy your time by riding a camel, smoking a flavored shisha, drinking the traditional Arabic coffee, enjoying the captivating belly dance and Tanura dance. Do not miss the chance to take some breathtaking pictures of the desert in your camera, especially during sunset. The colors of the setting sun on the sands would leave you mesmerized. Apart from this, you can try out the traditional costumes, get a henna tattoo and enjoy a delicious buffet dinner.

Fraud - No refund after Rayna Cancelled our tour!

I had booked a desert tour through Rayna Tours. It had to be cancelled due to the Iran War. Unfortunately, we have not received a refund of the 300 Euros we paid for the tour even though it was promised to us. The support keeps requesting documents that do not exist even though they have proof of payment the the tour voucher as well as the contact information of the sales officer who booked us on the tour and keeps stalling the reimbursement process for 3 full months now which is extremely frustrating.

Worst Dubai Safari Experience – Overpriced with Poor Service

We booked this safari package through our hotel counter, and it turned out to be one of the costliest and worst experiences of our entire trip. Overpriced & Misleading: The package felt hugely overpriced for what was actually offered. Many items at the stop-over shops were ridiculously priced — for example, a souvenir bottle or Burj Khalifa-themed bottle cost over 250 AED, while the same item is just 35 AED in Old Dubai. A simple Ghutra was 60 AED, compared to only 10 AED locally. Activities Were Underwhelming: The camel ride was literally just 2 minutes — the camel walked only about 10 steps, and if you wanted more, you had to pay extra. Holding a bird cost 20 AED per person. The henna and tattoo service barely covered anything; they only wrote your name instead of doing a proper design. Food Was Terrible: The BBQ buffet was extremely limited, tasteless, and crowded. Guests had to make multiple trips to even get a small amount, and overall the dining experience was chaotic and frustrating. Transport Issues: Our car had a brake problem, which delayed us significantly. Thankfully, our honest driver, Ali, quickly arranged a replacement, but we were still the last ones to leave the campsite. The Few Positives: The only positive aspects were our honest and helpful driver Ali, and the dance & fire show at the camp. Overall: We strongly do not recommend this safari package. It is overpriced, poorly organized, and most activities feel like a scam to extract more money from tourists.

Give this a miss !!

This was a disappointing experience after an excellent Abu Dhabi tour the previous day. In a nut shell, it was over priced, overrun with hoards of people, poorly managed dinner mayhem, very confronting and not enjoyable. Dinner should have started at 6.30, not 7pm !! The music volume so loud, you could not talk. Of course, the whole over commercialisaion, with so many other 'camps' with so many thousands of people, it has killed what could be an enjoyable, unique experience.

Amazing

We had an amazing tour with Rayna Tours. The desert safari was excellent, and they have their own camps (two camps), which made the experience even better. Our driver was very friendly and professional. We chose the Platinum package, and the food was definitely worth it — much better quality. A special thanks to Fariha, who was great at assisting us with the booking and giving helpful recommendations. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we will definitely book again with Rayna Tours.

Terrible Experience, Horrible Driver, Disgusting food

One of the worst and extremely unsafe tour operators in the country. The food was pathetic and the sand dune drivers are arrogant and rude especially the driver in the car with number plate Z 44185 on the 1st of Jan 26 who didn’t let us wear seatbelt’s on our way back in spite of us insisting as he was in a hurry to drive. We were a group of 7 and had a 2 and 5 year old. he drove like he was dune bashing, and I banged my head to the top thrice, it was scary. I asked him to slow down but he spoke back saying that’s how you drive (even on the way back) He broke the queue to get out and all drivers then tried to cut us as they were annoyed! They would coerce you to take the buggy ride as they earn commissions on it. The only saving grace was their pick up driver who was excellent.

I was robbed / I was robbed

On December 30, 2025, I took a desert tour with the agency, with Jaffery as my driver. Upon arriving at the agency's premises, I took a buggy tour with my family. I was charged DHS 1300.00, the correct amount as agreed. However, the employee swiped my card WITHOUT MY SEEING, for DHS 2600.00, without my authorization, and took my money. I want my money back immediately. This is a matter for the police; I was robbed inside the agency's premises. I need my money back immediately. Guilherme da Silva Brandão Corrêa. Attached is my bank statement proving the unauthorized charge of DHS 2600.00. On December 30, 2025, I took a walk in the desert with the agency, having Jaffery as the driver. Upon arriving at the agency facilities, I took a buggy ride with my family. I was charged DHS 1300,00, correct value and as combined. However, the employee passed my ID card, worth DHS 2600,00, without my permission, and took my money. I want my money back immediately.

Tourist proposal not to be remembered

Marketing and tourist proposal that makes use of the imagination on the desert, but organization by amateurs: up and down on a deserted road in a car of about ten minutes, a one-minute walk on the camel, buffet stormed without any management with inevitable crowds on every plate. Save show finale. Inadequately paid price and nothing adventurous and special to remember.

Overall good experience

It was nice tour we had good experience with Rayna tours only thing is driver didn't asist us properly so we missed our sand bashing activity. But the culture show in the Rayna camp was awesome.
