Bedouin camp review Excellent service from Salim and Jigaro they picked us up promptly, cars were very clean and comfty and large for both families. We booked 2 private cars. The communication was excellent and we orgniased buggy rides, sand surfing, falcon experience and camels. Food was lovely and I would recommend the vip, got to eat in a seperate area with lovely comfty chairs and waiter service. Salim and jigaro were very nice, helpful, and guided us around well. We were very looked after, plus they avoided us paying too much for xtras too. They took lots of photos and spoke excellent English. Would recommend. 5* great fire show and men swords and henna tattoo aswell as Shisha and belly dancing.

Best Ones We had a wonderful desert safari experience in Dubai. Booking was easy, and the company contacted us on the day to confirm our pickup time. Ahsan arrived right on time in a lovely, very clean vehicle. He was kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. He explained everything, answered all our questions, and supported us during the activities. The whole experience was smooth, easy, and so much fun. Highly recommend this company—and definitely ask for Ahsan!

Fun desert adventure with a great guide! 🐪 My friend and I had a great time on our desert trip! Ahsan picked us up on time in the morning in a nice, clean car. Once we arrived, we got to ride a camel and hold a bird of prey before heading out for dune bashing. The dune bashing was so much fun, and we felt safe the whole time thanks to Ahsan’s driving. Afterwards, we could go sandboarding for as long as we wanted. He also gave us water and made sure we had everything we needed. Ahsan was friendly and fun, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Thank you for a lovely day! 😊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE BEST DESERT SAFARI IN DUBAI — AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE! We had an absolutely AMAZING desert safari mi experience in Dubai, and it exceeded all our expectations! If you are planning a desert safari, I HIGHLY recommend booking with Shoaib. Trust me, he will make your experience truly unforgettable! ❤️ We enjoyed every single moment of this incredible adventure: riding camels, driving buggies, experiencing an exciting 4x4 ride through the desert dunes, and trying sandboarding. Everything was fantastic! The evening continued with a delicious BBQ dinner, amazing food, and a spectacular live show. The atmosphere was wonderful, and everything was perfectly organized. But the real star of this experience was our guide, SHO AIB! He was absolutely outstanding! ⭐ Shoaib was incredibly kind, attentive, polite, punctual, and professional. He gave us so much interesting information and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment of the trip. You can really feel when someone loves their job and genuinely cares about their guests - and Shoaib is exactly that kind of person! And one more thing that deserves special recognition: Shoaib is an AMAZING photographer and videographer! 📸 He knows exactly how to capture the best moments, find the perfect angles, and create fantastic photos and videos. We now have incredible memories of this adventure, and we are so grateful to him for that! The food was delicious, the BBQ was excellent, the show was spectacular, and the entire experience was simply outstanding from beginning to end. MY BIGGEST RECOMMENDATION: If you want an unforgettable desert safari in Dubai, ask for Shoaib! Don’t just book any excursion - book it with him. His attention, positive energy, professionalism, and incredible photography make all the difference. Thank you, Shoaib, for giving us such an incredible day and memories that we will cherish for a long time! You are truly exceptional at what you do. We would choose you again without a second thought! ❤️🐪🏜️ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - 10/10! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing experience! 100% recommended! Noori was an absolutely fantastic guide! He is super friendly, kind, and helpful. He helps you with everything and stays by your side throughout the entire experience, making sure you feel comfortable and enjoy every moment. What I appreciated the most is that he looks out for you and protects you from street vendors who try to take advantage of tourists or scam them. He makes sure you don’t get ripped off or pay more than you should, which makes the whole experience much more enjoyable and stress-free. Having Noori as your guide really makes a difference! If you have the chance to book this experience, definitely ask for him. He is a wonderful person and deserves all the appreciation. I would 100% recommend him to anyone! 🙌✨ Thank you so much for everything, Noori! ❤️
