brilliant fun - We had an amazing time. Got it as part of a deal. Could not belive it includes the tour, food and henma among other activities. Got to dance and eat in the desert camp. However be prepared as they charge extra for alcoholic drinks, puxs

A fun afternoon/evening - Pretty good overall. Funny how the other reviews all seem to be either 5* or 1* - people either loved it or hated it. I would say - a bit of a mix. Overall it was fun, but some parts were not as good as others. However, I would do it again - not really for myself but if there were others going. Pickup and organisation was a little hit & miss, but we got there. Quad-biking was brilliant. Only 20 minutes but that's enough really. Dune-bashing (4x4 driving like a maniac over the dunes) was brilliant. Again - only 20 minutes but that was enough. Other TA reviews complain about getting bashed about in the back of the vehicle. Well if you're a delicate little flower then steer clear of this. Yes you're going to get thrown about a lot. So what. That's what makes it fun. Camel riding was - I could pass on that really. So you sit on a camel and go up and down. It makes a good photo - that's about it. Sand boarding was - rubbish. Here's a snowboard and there's some sand - off you go! The board didn't slide on sand at that angle. Y'know - there's a reason why people do it on snow! Finally a meal and entertainments. Both of these were adequate - the meal was ok (veggie option is ok) but not exactly the best, and I'd say the same about the entertainments - fun enough and made a change. Definitely worth paying more for the sit-down waited-on service. However they were very quick to bring out the things that were charged extra (beers, shisha), and very slow to bring out the things that were included (soft drinks).. Overall - if you're in Dubai - yes do it - it's fun.

Magical Desert - This place was absolutely magical at night. We were able to ride the camels and horses, played with the bird wearing a hat and got henna tattoo which was beautiful as well. The dinner was different but good. The sunset was the BEST along with the view of the arena. They do have a couple of shops to purchase collectibles, and pictures that they take of you doing the various activities. All in all I would love to return again and re-experience it all over.

Great experience - We did this excursion whilst staying in Dubai for part of our honeymoon. The desert and trip itself was fantastic and a great experience. My only gripe was the SUV being described as ‘luxury’ and it couldn’t have been more wrong. The A/C was so poor, it was 37c and I felt like I was in a greenhouse. Top tip, don’t sit in the 2 seats at the back. These were so cramped and it just made it worse. That said, the dune driving was brilliant, our driver was clearly very experienced and this paid off in our enjoyment. You then get taken to a ‘camp’ where you’re served local cuisine and watch a few dances. Honestly, that’s not my kind of thing and find it quite cringey. There is also the option of a camel ride, seemed pretty pointless as you just go around in a circle. I actually felt quite sorry for the camels , one clearly didn’t want to do it but was made too. Would i do it again? Probably not. Would I recommend it? Definitely.

Absolutely awful and waste of money - we asked if the experience was with the sun and It wasn't. The desert was full of bush, it was not the desert image you think. The driver was good.

Not what I we expected ! - We signed up for this when booking the holiday with Voyage Privé, the description & information given was very limited & we definitely should have looked into it ! We were led to believe it was night in the desert and a meal. We knew nothing of the 4x4 Camels It taking 6 hours ! We were supposed to be picked up at 2.30pm which we were not happy about, but were left waiting for nearly an hour ! We hated it & would never have booked it had we known what the actual trip was all about ! It was not worth the money.
