A great dune driving and evening experience at Fort Lisaili courtesy of Arjun and Asif. We were a family of 7, ranging from 10 to 87. Arjun and Asif were on time, friendly, knowledgeable and flexible - great guides. Nothing was rushed and nothing was too much trouble. The vehicles were in very good condition and comfortable. Really enjoyable. Thank you both.

There is a saying “Desert…is a very good place to find yourself. Or lose yourself.” I came to desert safari with Arabian Adventures and I found my NEW self here after loosing my OLD self in the desert. Ohh... What a great experience it was!!! I love the Falcon. The set up they made for evening leaisure named "Whispering Angels" and the romantic gazebo style dinner set up were too awesome 💯💯💯. Food was presentable and tasty👌👌👌 Mohammad Bhai with falcon, the witty Sajidbhai, fire dancer mustafabhai, The Musician and above all the adventure artist of dune bashing and our host and dost Ismail made this safari a blockbuster for me. Thank you Arabian Adventures. I would like to join you guys again and recommending to everyone to go for it.

Our flight was late! We said can we reschedule for the next date! They said we can pay another $1,700!!!!! We said that’s ludicrous! You have room today, we don’t have to have dinner, we simply want our kids to have the experience of riding the dune buggies in the sand, we have already paid well over $1,500 American dollars this is pure evil. They gave us another $200 off, so we still would have paid an additional $1,500 to ride a go cart.

An amazing afternoon/evening. The dune driving lasted over 40 mins with a break for photos before arriving at the "fort". Plenty of time for a short camel ride, sand boarding (sitting not standing) and the live show was entertaining. Could not fault the food, and there was lots of choice and plenty of it. We chose the soft drink package, but those on the alcohol package had a basic choice with no limit. Picked up in Dubai JBR 4pm back 9.45pm.
