The helicopter tour was very nice. For the safari our deiver Ajab was incredibly good and also a great photografer, nice memories to keep. The bedouin camp was awfull, the food was not good, everithing was in a rush. The onlu nice thing was the fire show, with a talented performer.

Helicopter tour was my husbands wish - we took 12 min ride from Atlantis the palm! Be on time (45min early) !!! They do not tolerate being late as everything is really nicely organized. First they will show you the security video and how to behave and what to expect - then you will go for a drive - it is 12 min but more then enough to see major points of Dubai and enjoy it. For a Safari tour I have no words - best thing experienced!!! Hassan was amazingly proffesional driver, nice and really took care of our group. Many drivers got stuck or were not experinced. But with Hassan and others from Arabia Horizons you are more then safe. The tour is detailed, well presented and organized. Take something warm with yourself to wear at camp as nights might get chilly. We aditionally took the buggy ride which was perfect as well - it was 30 min before going to the desert dune bashing. Once in a lifetime experience. Not any bad moment, everything was perfect from start to end.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that both the helicopter tour and the safari exceeded your expectations. It's great that you were able to enjoy the stunning views of Dubai from above and that the safari, with Hassan as your guide, was such a memorable experience. We’re also glad to know you felt safe and well taken care of throughout your journey. We appreciate your tip about dressing warmly for the camp – the desert evenings can indeed get chilly! Thanks again for your kind words, and we hope your trip was as unforgettable as it sounds!
