Our desert safari in Dubai was the highlight of our trip, and a big part of that was our host, Ahsan. He was friendly, professional, and attentive from the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped back. He made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time, and nothing felt rushed. The dune bashing was thrilling, a real adrenaline rush with the driver expertly handling the dunes. Sand boarding was great fun, and the photo shoot with the falcon was a unique experience that gave us some fantastic pictures. The camp was well set up and atmospheric, and the four shows kept the evening lively and entertaining from start to finish. Everything was well organized, safe, and great value. A huge thank you to Ahsan for making the evening so special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dubai. We would happily do it again!

Shoaib was an amazing guide. He made sure we went on a little quad excursion with a dedicated quad driver. My friend and I really enjoyed speeding through the desert. Afterwards we had a lot of fun in the car through the sand dunes and also sandboarding standing up straight was allowed. 10/10 would recommend. Great fun

Amazing Desert Safari experience with Noori Noori is just an amazing guide, has to be the best around, safe with the kids in the car with getting the full on experience or riding a dune. Will advise to ask for Noori if you planning on going on a desert safari.
