“Our family (my parents, two brothers, and I) had a really enjoyable desert safari, made even better by our guide and driver for the day, Imran Khan. He was friendly, informative, and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. The itinerary was well-organised and full of activities.

The 5-star buffet dinner was a…”

Review of Dubai’s Red Dune Desert Safari with dune bashing, quad biking, camels, sandboarding, BBQ dinner, and live shows for $27.
“Everything was top notch! The food, the service, the shows. Only real big problem was that I was deceived when I bought the Kandura, I was taken advantage of and the guide went along with it. It cost anywhere between 30-40 AED and the charged me 180 AED for a polyester one. I bought one now in cotton for 70AED with a better cut and COTTON as I mentioned before. A total rip off! For that reason I have to warn you and be careful with them.”
