1/5 – Very Disappointing Desert Safari Experience

⭐ 1/5 – Very Disappointing Desert Safari Experience We booked a desert safari with ABC Tourism LLC (ABC Tours Dubai), and unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the high price compared to other operators. We traveled as a family with an infant, expecting a well-planned and memorable experience. The trip started from Dubai at 4:00 PM, but we only reached the desert around 5:40 PM. By the time we arrived, the sun was already setting. Dune bashing lasted for barely 5 minutes, after which all activities like camel ride and sandboarding were conducted at night. There were no daytime desert views, no proper sunset experience, and no daylight photos at all, which is one of the main highlights of a desert safari. Desert activities are meant to be enjoyed during the day, and doing everything in the dark completely ruined the experience. I have never experienced or seen a desert safari planned like this anywhere. We had upgraded to the VIP lounge, and food started around 7:00 PM. The food was decent, with a good variety and multiple options—that was the only acceptable part of the tour. Overall, the experience was poorly timed, overpriced, and extremely disappointing. Definitely not recommended, especially for families or anyone expecting a proper desert safari experience. 🙆🏼‍♂️🙆🏼‍♂️

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a few points to provide context. Your booking was made for our Moonlight Program, which is specifically designed for a later desert arrival and evening activities. This program allows guests to enjoy the cooler evening desert experience and our evening entertainment, which is different from the classic daytime safari. Because of this schedule, pickup occurs later, which unfortunately may not allow for full daylight dune bashing or sunset photography. Regarding the VIP lounge, we note that you booked this on a discounted price, yet we provide one of the largest and most lavish food selections in the desert safari industry, praised by guests from around the world. We are pleased to know that you found the food satisfactory. We understand that every guest’s expectations are different, especially for families with infants, and we always aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and memorable desert experience. While the Moonlight Program may not have suited your preference for daytime activities, many of our guests worldwide highly praise our safaris for their organization, variety of activities, and quality of service. Thank you again for your comments, which help us continue improving our guest experiences. Warm regards, Team ABC Tours Dubai

Absolutely great day out!

Rasheed was absolutely amazing!! He was polite, helpful and real good fun! The dune bashing with him was hilarious and the drive home he was teaching us about Dubai culture and pointing things out of interest! The whole tour was great, the quad biking experience was unreal, especially getting to sea the sunset over the desert. The buffet/bbq food was really good too. Would definitely book again and hopefully get Rasheed as our driver again, big thank you to ABC tours.

Avoid at all cost

It is so poorly organised - and not at all worth the money for sure. The camel ride lasted less than 5’ and it basically was a back and forth from the camp base. The camp was in such a poor sanitary condition. Surprising for Dubai. The Dune ride was nothing more than a driver enjoying himself by forcing the car to go left and right on the dune. Absolutely not interesting whatsoever.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly value every guest’s experience and strive to provide memorable and enjoyable desert adventures for all. Our Majlis Camp and lounge are designed to offer a comfortable and welcoming environment, where guests can relax, enjoy traditional refreshments, and soak in the beautiful desert surroundings. Our High Dune Safari in our new SUVs is carefully curated to provide thrilling moments across the majestic dunes, guided by experienced drivers to ensure both excitement and safety. The Open Desert Quad Bike experience allows guests to explore the desert with supervised adventure, providing fun and adrenaline-filled activities for all ages. In the evening, guests can enjoy our 5-star dining experience, accompanied by spectacular live entertainment including the Belly Dancer Show, Tanoura Show, and Fire Show—bringing vibrant cultural experiences that make the desert night unforgettable. We appreciate your observations and will continue to maintain and enhance all aspects of our camp and activities to ensure the highest standards of quality and comfort.

exceptionally professional

ABC Tours was professional throughout, from hotel pick up to drop off and everything in between; the activities in the desert, like sand boarding, camel rides, quad bike and sand dune bashing were unhurried and leisurely. There was no pressure sell, the dinner was exquisite, and varied, including barbecued meats and plenty of vegetarian options. The shows were spectacular; and mesmerising.

Really great trip!

The trip was really fun! When we got there we bought some things which made us a little later than everyone else. It put us off schedule but they made sure that we did every single activity! Everyone was very nice, especially Sadhik Ullathel!
