Sunset Desert Safari Dubai with BBQ Dinner & Live Shows

Must Do In Dubai

Great tour! Lasts the entire evening, if you include traffic returning to your hotel the tour lasts about 11 hours.

Avoid, find another operator!

Not a pleasant experience as a whole. Firstly, the dune bashing lasted only 20 mins (of which 5 mins was a stop to take photos). Secondly, completely excluded sand boarding although this was included in the price (when questioned, we were given a lame excuse). Then the so called camel ride lasted a maximum of 1 minute! If you want a longer ride, be prepared to pay extra! Thirdly; Shisha was meant to be included but this turned out to be yet again a paid extra! The food was not nice and chicken undercooked. I’ve asked for a partial refund Avoid and find another tour operator.

Not as good as it used to be. Hidden extras in the evening meal.

This was the third time that I've taken this trip. It's changed. Not as fast and bumpy as I remembered on the dunes. And the music wasn't so racy. I find it best to wear flip flops as I walk bare foot on the warm sand. Easier and no sand in the car either (or in trainers!). The camel rides have been cut short too but it was ok. Won't be doing that again though. Poor camel was so tired and groaning on every 'lift'. He was hardly able to stand. And hard sell again for a longer camel ride for .... more money! I knew it was coming for the extra hard sell for the quad bikes too. Be firm if you don't want to do it. You can't go far in them anyway. The head scarfs you can buy are fun and at only approx £5.50 each and free fitting it's quite good value. Book direct with Alum King if you can and ask exactly what's included. We paid approx £35pp for our safari which ended up at £46pp for the upgrade at the meal. My husband and myself were grouped together with another couple on a slightly different trip. They had the quad bikes included. We had to wait for them but tbh, not a big deal as it was nice to sit and relax and get some pictures of the camels etc... It's great that they were a lovely couple too. Oh and take loo roll! There was none! The toilets were smelly and disgusting. Luckily I take a tiny travel perfume bottle which I had to spray rather than throw up. And hand gel's a plus. No drying towels/hand dryers either. We had the opportunity for the sunset pictures. Shame that the guide didn't help with the shots like the last guide. My granddaughter whom I had with me then was told to jump up and asked me to grab her pony tail. The pic was fantastic and looked like I was pulling her up by her hair. Big shock when it came to the meal. We were told its an extra 50 dirhams each (approx £11.50) to sit on chairs with a table and the food bought to us. It felt like 'us and them' for the people that weren't prepared to have to pay extra or just didn't budget for it. It's nice to sit on a cushion tbh, but we were hungry so paid more to eat before the show was in progress. The other side (on cushions on the sand) had to wait. I felt uncomfortable as a small fence divided us. And TWO stages. The big one for cushion sitters. And a small one for the chair seated. Not a good situation! We felt like we were watching a tennis match. The food was not at all what I've had previously either! The bbq chicken was nice but the salad, potato salad etc.. not so nice. Couldn't eat it. No salt or dressings. What looked like Kentucky Chicken was in fact breaded cauliflower - we think! Second nicest thing to eat though. The currys were very poor and runny. Luke warm too. Again, it was hard sell as your'e hassled by sellers for payable drinks, ice creams etc. Then another change when we were taken to a souvenir shop! We had to wait for the car to be cleaned of sand and tyre pressure adjusted etc... All while being asked if we wanted a drink, souvenir etc.. Not only was it a much longer distance than previous years from the dunes to the venue, but the show was much shorter. The fire dancers were good. Be prepared for extras, extras, extras! One last heads up. If you booked the sand surfing, mention this to your driver BEFORE you set off. They're human and can forget - like ours did. I only booked the trip the last two times because my family members hadn't done it before. Would I book again? Definitely not! It's gone downhill. Although I think it's a lovely experience for a first timer to Dubai. It's great to see the dessert and camels and remember what country you're in. Just be prepared for the extras and don't be too hungry!

Amazing Trip with Malik! We will definitely book the next trip with Malik next time! He make the Trip unforgettable.

Amazing Tour

We had an amazing tour with Malik, he’s is a great guide. He will show you good spots to take pictures without any crowd. The whole tour was so much fun and a great experience. Doing the buggy drive and quad is a must. You won’t regret it.

More fun than expected

Malik, our driver, did not only took us to the different spots, he even showed us how to pose which was a big help. 🥰 We wouldn't have such wonderful pictures without him. Dune bashing was great, too.

Loved it.

My fave part was the quad biking and the sand dune bashing. Thrilling experience, really cool vibes. I will definitely come again.

Absolutely wonderful.

Car showed up exactly on time. Driver was super attentive throught entire experience.Walked us through each activity.

Desert Safari

100% worth the time, good food and nice attractions. Our driver Malik was very friendly. We would book this Tour again.

Assolutamente da non perdere. L’esperienza di guidare sulla sabbia del deserto è il top.

top experience, I had a great time. Malik was a great guide and is also a great driver in the desert. I recommend it to anyone coming to Dubai on vacation

Amazing safari

It is a great experience for first time visitors, and covers everything you need to see in the dubai desert

safari

i really enjoyed the activities & the guide (Malik) he was very kind and entertaining, I really recommend this:)

Ultimate desert experience with personal touch to the trip

Lovely experience and warm customer service. Zubair Malik has been a warm person and personally made sure each experience for us is upto the mark. We will definitely see you next time.

Unexpected and late tour that made us cram for the whole trip. Tumbs down!

We booked a shared tour but when we picked up the family, they're expecting a private car instead. They're not informed that they will be sharing the tour with us which made the experience terrible because we spend almost 20mins waiting for them to decide whether they're going or not

Good times at the safari

Had a great time out on the desert dunes and the belly dancer was fantastic. The ride on the buggy was also great, notwithstanding the sand and dust everywhere.

Amazing

Amazing guy had the best day ever really amazing would definitely do again with this man and really he was amazing at his job

Awesome unforgettable experience

My favorite part was the driving in the Landcruiser on sand dunes. Malik who was our driver and tour guide was excellent and fun to talk to.

Very poor experienced

First of all they should take some time to explain the excursion. They just pick you up in a car and don’t know where you are going. After that, it should be clear that 4x4 safari is not a safari but a rally experience un a 4x4 (honestly the best part). Camel ride is not included. They just offer you to raise the camel and take a pic that you have to pay for. The espectacle is very poor and the bbq is like an open camp where you should go for the food or pay extra fees if you want to be carried to your table. Absolutely lack of cleaning and no covid restrictions.
