Had an amazing experience on the desert safari! Our guide was brilliant from start to finish — really friendly, professional and made sure everyone was having a great time. The dune bashing was incredible, and the whole experience was organised really well. The guide went above and beyond to make the day enjoyable and was also great at taking photos for us. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Dubai. Would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai!

Our evening desert safari with Mohsin Pathan was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Mohsin was incredibly courteous, professional, and attentive throughout the entire tour. The care and attention he gave us really stood out and made the evening feel relaxed, enjoyable, and very well looked after. His knowledge of the area and the way he guided us through the experience made everything run smoothly. The thrilling dune drive was fantastic, and the breathtaking desert landscape was unforgettable. Watching the sunset peacefully over the dunes was a truly special moment and made the evening even more memorable. A huge thank you to Mohsin for his excellent service, genuine care, and for making our desert safari such a fantastic experience. We would highly recommend both Mohsin and this tour to anyone looking for a memorable desert adventure!

Fantastic morning desert safari with Mohsin Pathan. He was friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the tour. The dune bashing was exciting and full of fun, with the vehicle sweeping over the rolling dunes and the sand shifting beneath us. The peaceful morning desert views were beautiful and refreshing, with soft light spreading across the golden sand and the quiet surroundings creating a calm atmosphere. We enjoyed the desert activities and taking photos in the sand, capturing the smooth dune shapes and wide-open landscape. Everything was well organized and comfortable from start to finish. A wonderful experience

Amazing excursion into the original Dubai I would say request Saeed as your guide because he did a fantastic job shepherding us through each of the activities and some exciting sand dune driving! It was wonderful taking the day to have a more authentic experience in the outskirts and away from “new” Dubai. The sand and sunset was incredible

An unforgettable private desert safari – highly recommended! We had an incredible morning desert safari with our driver, Shaban, who made the experience truly memorable. He was fantastic with our 10-year-old son, making him feel comfortable and ensuring we all had an amazing time. One of the biggest highlights was that this was a private tour, so we could enjoy everything at our own pace without being surrounded by large crowds. It made the experience feel much more personal and relaxed, giving us plenty of time to take in the scenery and enjoy each activity. We chose the 4am departure, which is definitely the best option in summer. The cooler temperatures made a huge difference, and watching the sunrise over the stunning red sand dunes was absolutely breathtaking. The red desert is incredibly beautiful and made for spectacular views and photos. The tour included exciting dune bashing, sandboarding, a camel ride, and we also opted for the quad biking, which was well worth it. Shaban was an excellent driver and took loads of amazing family photos for us throughout the morning. If you’re visiting Dubai, especially during the summer, we’d highly recommend choosing this private sunrise tour. The combination of the peaceful desert, beautiful red dunes, thrilling activities, and outstanding service from Shaban made it one of the highlights of our trip.

Everything was excellent. We have done a tour with Nasir and it has been great. Of sandbashing, camel riding, and sandboarding in the morning. Very kind and professional. 100% recommend doing the tour with them. And especially in the morning, because there are fewer people and it is less hot.
