The desert surrounding Dubai is a world away from the buzz of city life. On this tour you’ll hop into a 4x4 and discover what lays beyond the hustle and bustle of the ‘city of gold’.

You´ll arrive at the desert camp, where a traditional Arabian welcome awaits. Enjoy the true Arabian ambiance at this typical Bedouin campsite - with traditional Arabian carpets, low tables and cushions for comfortable seating. Experience a camel ride, sand boarding, henna painting or simply enjoy the aromatic sheesha. Then, tuck into a buffet dinner with a wide variety of barbecued meats, salads and desserts.

You'll round off the evening with a performance by a traditional Tanoura dancer under the star-lit sky.

Overall the activity was fun and exciting. We really enjoyed the 4x4 dune drive and the BBQ with evening entertainment was very good. However, we experienced alot of harassment from local sellers which we found annoying. Our Guide did not provide clear information about the day's activities which left us alittle confused at times. We decided to skip sand boarding as his instructions were not clear enough and I didn't feel confident that adequate safety measures were in place. Improvements needed

Not as advertised. Picked up from hotel and then drove for 1.5 hours into the ‘desert’. This was what felt like a drag racing circuit. Crowded noisy smelly. Our guide took us to vendors where we got the hard sell on quad biking/dune buggy racing none of which we wanted. He then left us and wondered off. We found him did some dune driving and kids had a 10 minutes at sand boarding then 2 hours in rush hour traffic home. No camp no bbq no desert experience. 1x smal bottle of water eac

Ignore the negative reviews. There were 6 of us, me my husband and 4 children and we had an amazing time. Our tour guide was brilliant. We were provided with a really comfortable ride and given water when we needed it. Paid extra for the camel ride and bbq food was lovely. Entertainment was great to

Our host was amazing and the sand boarding and dune drive was really fun. However it wasn’t nice when we got to the stop of, where there was shops and the men there was forcing me to buy something. In the end I got the scarf which they tried to charge me £25 and charged me £8 for 2 drinks.

It was an excellent day,we had a very helpful guide, l highly recommend the camel safari the food was tasty ,everything was perfect thank you
