Super fun ride ! Ahmed was an excellent driver! He made the trip really fun It was the perfect evening , Price was excellent for what we received
Highly recommend if you have a free afternoon and evening in Abu Dhabi. It’s easy with hotel pick up and drop off and fun and unique desert experience
we expected more because it was presented like that. It says that unlimited shisha is included, but it needs to be paid for. It also said that photography with a falcon was included, but the man wanted to charge us, so we argued and managed to prove that it was included in the price. My friend and a woman who was also on tour with us were very sick while driving on the dunes and threw up, so I suggest that the drivers have vomit bags in their cars to avoid an incident. We did not like the food at all because it was terribly seasoned and the hot dog was not cooked, the chicken was dry. We only had nice salads. Also, don't expect much from camel riding, because we could literally ride a camel for 30 seconds, and you have to pay extra for longer rides. It will be very hot in the desert in the afternoon and very cold at night, so I suggest you bring something long for the evening. Henna on the hands also has to be paid for if you want a larger design, a smaller one that is only on one finger is free. We didn't manage to go sand boarding because there were too many people waiting and we didn't get there because the guide called us to go back. I don't know what else to write, I think that's it, but I was a little disappointed with the overall experience, that's the point.
Overall this company delivered, but not everything was as promised. One day before our reservation we were told that they could not pick us up in Al Ain even though pick-up is included in the ticket price. Luckily we had a car, but we had to use our gas to drive one hour in each direction, and we didn't receive any discount for this inconvenience and expense. In addition, we did not visit a camel farm as promised, nor was there unlimited shisha - you had to pay extra if you wanted more than just a try. Most disappointing was that none of the staff spoke much English, so there was no cultural explanation or educative component to the evening. It was pure entertainment without any accompanying description of what we were experiencing. The staff could barely respond to the simplest of questions; they were obviously not from the Gulf region. We don't regret doing it, but it was overpriced and we felt taken advantage of as tourists.
The dune bashing was fun. Camel was just one only badly trained unresponsive camel. Dinner was okay but not great. Enjoyed the shows of dancer and also twirling dancer. Enjoyed the fire eater/dancer show, he was very skilled.
Our tour was very memorable and our driver was amazing! However- we paid for experiences through Viator but we did not receive them or were charged extra at the place. For example- we were told that Henna tattoos were included, but then had to pay for them. I would also be hesitant of camel riding as the camels did not look well taken care of.
Unlimited Shisha is not true: only starts at 7.30pm at a corner of the compound, far from stage. Everyone has to share. Camel farm is a drive by, we didn’t even get to get out of the car to take photos. BBQ dinner is NOT a buffet, I couldn’t get a second round as the meat has run out: only one per person. Stars are not visible. Camel ride is just 60m walk within the compound. Camel looks badly taken care of. Poor camels. They squeezed 6 passengers in the Car, the 2 seats at the back is VERY uncomfortable. Should not have more than 4 passengers in the car. Sand dune bashing was ok, about 10-15mins only. Stage shows were good.
The location is great and the food is excellent- the people are super nice - but there is too much slow time - this could easily be one hour shorter.
Fantastic experience of dune bashing. The other camp experiences were great eg food, camel riding etc but the dancing was especially good. Azia was a great informative and professional guide, but his special driving ability was to be admired. Conformation between customer and provider should be by email.
Dune bash! An unforgettable experience with expert drivers. The safari later was very nice and intertaining. Very well worth the time and expense.
Dune bashing driving skills from the very best driver you’ll ever meet in your life. Extraordinary Marvelous
砂丘のドライブはかなり揺れるので、車酔いする人は事前にスタッフに申告した方が良いです。 私が参加したときは、他の参加者が少なかったために滞在場所で自由行動の時間がありすぎました。ただし、自由に飲める飲料もありますし、砂丘に登って景色を十分堪能することができました。 11月頭に参加したのですが、夜もそこまで寒くなかったです。気になる人は薄手のカーディガン一枚あれば十分問題ないと思います。 食事もそこまで期待していなかったのですが、炭火焼きしたチキンやビーフもあり、意外に美味しかったです。 The dune drive is quite bumpy, so it's advisable to declare in advance if you get carsick. At that time I participate this tour, there were not many participants. So there was too much free time at that place. But I could drink some beverages freely and climb the dunes to enjoy viewing. I took part in the tour at the beginning of Nov, I didn't feel cold. If you worried about the temperature, I think it's enough to take a cardigan. Honestly, I didn't expect that the meal is good, but they serve chickens and beefs which charcoal and grilled. It's so nice.
The experience was nice with a good driver Mahmoud. We should have paid a little less as the belly dancer did not perform due to Ramadan season.
This is the perfect experience for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi. It was so well organised and great that they pick you up from where you’re staying. The dune bashing was out of this world and it was lovely to relax afterwards in the camp with good food and entertainment. The total time of this trip was 7hrs from pick up to drop off, I can’t believe we did all this for the equivalent of £50, I would have gladly paid three times that for it 👍🏼
I contacted the company for the address. When we drove to the location, all we saw were camels and no people. I tried to call them multiple times and the phone line was not going through. I would save your money and not use this company. This is a rip off! I experienced that 1st hand.
We had a very memorable trip. The desert experience is a must-have for any visitor. Trip Arabia did an excellent job, even during COVID crisis. The guide was really warm and helpful. He was punctual and volunteered to take some photos of ours.
This is a perfect activity for families with young children and teens. Dune bashing is a lot of fun. The drivers were very considerate. Our group had several cars so we could split the group in wild or mild driving. The scenery is beautiful and there are plenty of photo opportunities. Would recommend.
Was very beautiful and enjoyable, thx a lot We enjoyed everything Tried all activities Celebrate my son birthday.
Thank you to Trip Arabia team for such a wonderful afternoon to evening Desert Safari Tour. My husband and I enjoyed the experience!
Excellent communication with staff via WhatsApp. Dune bashing is very intense and someone puked in my car. Be prepared, it's not for the faint of heart! There are many activities to enjoy at the camp. Despite the rain, I felt we were in good hands. Overall I enjoyed this pleasant day with my Indian guide. Unfortunately the renowned Arabic hospitality I felt was missing from the trip.
This was the third time I went on a desert Safari (previous two in Dubai) but by far the best. It was a last minute booking during a very busy New Year's Eve but Aashik managed it well and kept us regularly updated on the status of the trip. Francis is a very friendly, cheerful and highly skilled driver and ensured that we had a great time. The dune bashing was a truly exhilarating experience and was the highlight of the whole trip. The land cruiser was clean and well maintained. The tent was fine with decent facilities and food was average. The Arabic dance by the male performer was truly enthralling. I have a few suggestions though - guests should be offered water during the drive and there could be some more entertainment and food variety for children. And considering that it was New Year's Eve, we did expect some special events but there was none. I would highly recommend this Safari.
we thanking to Mr. Ashik for arranging the experience by a phone call it was supper easy. we recommend for our relatives and friends its worth of money you pay. we had an infant also with us drivers and facility was amazing
Can not recommend this enough. Great afternoon/evening in the desert starting with dune bashing. Riding the sand like a roller coaster with the skilled driver was so much fun. And the stops to take some photos of the dunes with a setting sun was fabulous. A swift visit to a camel farm and camel ride before the evenings entertainment and great food. Such great value for money and well looked after.
Friendly staff, delicious food, awesome locations for photoshoot. The guide Shakeer Muhammad is very friendly and excellent driver. He thrills us by Dune Bashing, enjoyed every drift. He also he helped us to click pics. Unforgettable trip.
Amazing safari trip ever , friendly staff , delicious BBQ food Hope to visit there again soon as possible
I had safari trip with my girlfriends. We had three extra persons also in the car with us. It was very awesome to drive in the car in safari and had lovely belly dancing show in the evening. The food was delicious and sisha was very tasteful. We had sandboarding fun and we could take pictures in local clothes. One thing which bothered me was the lack of desciption of activities from our driver. We did not know what to wait next and I really missed that. From arriving moment to the camp, we had enough description of what is going to happen and it was great.
We got the option of pick up at home with a 4x4. The arrange was very smooth and everyone was very responsive. The driver was friendly and fun. He was driving inside the desert and took us directly to the dunes for the dune bashing and he offered to takes us lots of pics. All the activities mentioned were there and they were nice! The dune for the sand bashing was very high which made it fun! The henna painting was a bit rushed but was alright. The food for dinner was the typical, a bit of everything, biryiani noodles lamb chicken fattoush dessert etc. The experience was great and I would definitely do it again with Trip Arabia!
Great fun, thrills you, full of beauty and culture. The guide Francis was very attentive and friendly. The operated is very correct prompts and reliable. Good prices
Our desert safari was the best experience in Abu Dhabi overall. The company were extremely professional and made the event very special. We loved every part of the evening from dune bashing to belly dancing and a BBQ full of delicious food.
Had an absolute blast. Music selection by the driver was a great mixture of pop 2ks with some 90s rap that was absolutely riveting to the ear drums. The music took me back to when I was a young man, full of life, with dreams of greatness. The sliding car on the dunes, reminded me of the carefree spirit from youth. The camels were very kind. Their souls were passive and friendly to our whole group. They were eager to have saddle and harness placed about them, and the ride proved satisfactory for both parties. The food was nourishing for body and soul, and the complimentary hookah helped the digestive track work as God intended. Our ride back was pleasant, but pensive, as all of us knew our childhood dreams of being Arabian princes, even if for only a short while, had been fulfilled.
Me and my partner had an excellent evenings entertainment at the evening desert safari. Shamal was our escort/driver and he was superb. His driving over the dunes was exhilarating and his willingness to take photos for us and helping us capture those special memories went above and beyond. The food and entertainment at the camp was first class and I have already recommended this trip to other guests at our hotel. This trip is a ‘must do’.
We did the desert safari in the evening. The driver arrived very on time at our hotel and he called us 10 minutes before he arrived. The driver Shamal was very friendly and a perfect driver. The dune bashing gave us a lot of fun! Really great! Shamal is also a great photographer!!! We have a lot of wonderful pictures as memories of our Abu Dhabi journey. Thank you very much for a great desert safari, Shamal.
Shaik is person who helped a lot and is really someone you should ask for to talk to organize everything. 1st of all to mention that everything agreed was on top of the game from the company:driver pick up on time, service excellent, hospitality on top and on the other side driver has offered to take photos of us during the stopping in the desert it self. They are very responsive and accommodating.
Such an amazing evening. Full of fun. I was able to socialise and make new friends. The tour team were very hospital and accommodating.
The experience was amazing!! The driver Nazar was so friendly and helpful, it was a night to remember! I highly recommend this safari tour it really value for money, you will never be disappointed!
Friendly staff, nice food, exiting drives, talented artists.. started around 5PM and got done 8PM.. must visit if you are in UAE.
Thank you sir shamel for the wonderful experience in desert safari adventure. Keep up the good work and God bless sir.
The best desert safari experience ever! Thank you Mr. Shamel, everyone had fun. Will definitely go back here. Highly recommended!
Thanks to the best driver ever, very kind very flexible he did great photos and my family enjoyed a lot
We couldn't see anything because we weren't there. Driver wasn't there. Please money back!!!!
Vi consiglio di prenotare questo tour nel deserto. Abbiamo fatto vari tour ma questo è stato il più bello ed il più divertente di tutti. Il nostro autista esperto nella guida sulle dune del deserto, tanto gentile e simpatico, ci ha spiegato per tutto il tempo come svolgere le varie attività e ed è stato sempre disponibile con noi. Lo rifaremmo altre mille volte! Non perdetelo!!
Activity on top! Very good organization, very kind and very welcoming. It was awesome! I highly recommend. Very good value for money
Zunächst wollte der Guide uns nicht wie vereinbart an unserem Hotel abholen. Erst nach Telefonat erfolgte eine pünktliche Abholung am vereinbarten Ort. Auf der Fahrt zur ersten Attraktion der Wüsten-Safari war der Fahrer zu gefüllten 90% mit seinem Handy beschäftigt. Die 1. Attraktion, eine Fahrt mit dem SUV durch die Wüstendünen, dauerte etwa 30 Minuten und hat unseren Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht entsprochen. Danach erfolgten ENDLOSE Wartezeiten mit mäßigen Unterhaltungswert. Der Guide war nur noch selten und dann aus weiter Entfernung zu sehen. Viele im Programm aufgeführte Highlights wurden nicht angeboten bzw. angepriesen. Fazit der sogenannten Wüsten-Safari: Tolle Dünenfahrt und sonst nichts! Preis / Leistung stimmten nicht. Tags zuvor hatten wir eine über Viator gebuchte Tagestour von Abu Dhabi nach Dubai, die ein absolutes Highlight darstellte, auch Dank des herausragenden Guides Sudath Manodara von Emirates Tours
We did the evening safari and can definitely recommend this tour. The price-performance ratio is definitely reasonable. The tour was very well organized and we had a lot of fun doing it.
An absolute wow experience. A tour that stays long in the memory. Everyone was very nice, friendly, helpful and accommodating. My son (14) and I were absolutely delighted. Can be recommended. Thanks for the nice hours.
It was an excellent tour and that has to be done when you come to the Arab Emirates. Our Christmas and Fortaleza dunes are more radical and beautiful but I confess I felt much safer doing the safari in a closed car than in a bug. It's worth it!And dinner was very good. I only found this camel ride kind of ridiculous: 10 meters and ready. I expected more!
