Great experience! Loved it. Quad bikes, camel ride, tea, sandboarding, dune bashing were all good. Ahmed was nice and he listened and communicated well in English.

Haneef our guy, gave us an amazing memory. He's very reliable, contact us the day before to confirm. He was able to came in little earlier as our schedule changed a bit. He gave us a amazing experience for the sand basing with his 4x4 SUV. Very comfortable, exciting and professional. You will be in good hand with Haneef.
Our tour guide, Ahmed, made our trip enjoyable. He was prompt and courteous. We had so much fun dune bashing and the views at the top of the dunes helped create wonderful photo memories. The camel ride was an amazing experience! All the staff were kind and friendly. Definitely would recommend!
45 min to go and come back. 10mins 4x4, 10mins of quad, 30 Seconds camel (15sec for my friend because "yalah no time", and only one ride in dune (yalah no tome". 100ml of water. Dates juices, soft drink (inexistant) but were included, traditional clothes are sold 3 times the price when supposed to be included. Visit of camel farm : inexistant. Actual scam, management never answered us .... Go away from them
While the activity itself was great, the booking experience was sub-par. We paid for a private-tour, 6a pickup via Viator. However, the tour operator followed up soon after purchase to let us know we'd be picked up at 845a. When I explained that we had selected the 6a timeslot, they shared we needed to pay extra for the individual tour. In a bind (due to tight timing), we obliged and informed them to look into the Viator syndication/connection in case there was an issue. In my opinion, we should not have been charged that additional amount due to the disconnect.
Actually this is a review for the afternoon safari with bbq, because there was some trouble with the car, and they changed our booking. It was an excellent safari. We enjoyed it very much. Dune bashing, quad riding, sandboarding, dinner, the show… everything was so good that you shouldn’t miss it! Unlimited Soft drinks, smoking area and you can buy alcohol. And Aziz, our driver, was so nice and at our service! Thank you, Aziz!
This trip was a very fun way to spend part of a day in Abu Dhabi. Our driver was very professional and kind. The best part of the trip was definitely the dune bashing. The ATVs were also quite fun, one note is that booking through Viator did not give the option for the longer ATV ride, another vehicle on our trip had that option for some of their riders. Overall still a great experience!
Firstly, the trip was fab and enjoyed the sand dunes and quad biking (guide friendly). The problem was we booked for an early morning slot only to find out the same morning they had changed this by 3 hours later…. No warning, no cancellation option, no reason … just a message saying driver would pick up at 8 instead of 5am… already up by that time ….didn’t know if it was a mistake … no contact details… this completely ruined the plans we had for the rest of the day … why have a time if they then change it last minute. Company non apologetic and basically tough!
Amazing experience. Felt like a private tour. From the dune bashing to the quad biking. Was amazing. Mohamed was absolutely amazing
Brilliant, really good value for money! A great morning sand bashing (such a great driver) a real adrenaline rush - then a beautiful stop in the desert for quad biking, camel riding and sand boarding - would 100% recommend!
10/10, guide was brilliant, all activities as advertised. Our personal favourite was the quad bike. Great day from start to finish
Fantastic experience with a great tour guide Arif my family did the morning desert safari and it was amazing! Such a great experience
I was initially a little apprehensive of booking the excursion given the limited reviews. However, I would definitely recommend booking this tour! Our tour guide(driver) arrived punctually and collected us from outside of our hotel. After picking up the other guests, we made our way to the desert where we first stopped at a camel farm. I had the opportunity to feed the camel. Following this, we went on a sand dune bashing. An extremely thrilling experience and the car was handled well adding to the experience. We stopped for photos and the tour guide was very helpful in assisting with photographs and poses. Through the sand dunes, we eventually made our way through to camp where we jumped on to a quad bike. It was an enjoyable quad tour and was able to speed through the desert on the quads following a tour guide. It was exciting and challenging to handle the quads and well worth the experience. We was able to get a few selfies and videos whilst on the quad. Once we returned, we jumped on to a camel and was given a quick camel ride with the guide offering to take plenty of pictures of us whilst we was up there. We attempted to do the sand boarding/skiing but struggled with the sand being smooth to slide down. We would need to climb a higher sand dune to get the full experience but given the heat, we did not have the energy to climb the higher dune. Unfortunately, we did not get to dress up to take photos which I would of really loved to have the opportunity to do. Also, at the time of booking it states dates with Arabic tea and coffee but this also was not provided which was a shame. Overall, it was an amazing and thrilling experience which we would definitely recommend!
Great trip, the guide pointed out lots of locations on the way to the desert and was like a professional photographer! Amazing to see the camels in full flow on the way to the sand dunes and at the farm. The dune bashing, quad bike ride and sand boarding were all a great experience, really glad we made the booking.
All exactly as stated. Had lots of fun. The sand skiing was on a very short dune and the camel ride was really short.
It was a very nice experience. Everything mentioned in the description was offered. The guide was nice and friendly.
Highly well organized. The people from Arabia Trip were very flexible in rescheduling the trip, adding more tourists and we're very polite and reliable. Excellent services. Go for it.
Perfect timing and the activities were well prepared and safe. We done had done a lot of safaris, this one was the best of all!
We had booked the half day morning tour but because of a few communication issues with my phone we re arranged to the full 7 hour tour later that day. We were picked up by Amir, he was our guide, driver and boss photograph taker, absolutely brilliant guy! We headed to the dunes in a big 5 litre Lexus 4X4 and we stopped at a Camel farm while they deflated the tyres, Amir had no problem throwing it all over the place up and down the sand dunes, scary and thrilling at the same time, brilliant fun. Amir then took us to some really high dunes where we got out and did some great photos with amazing backdrops if the desert. We were then taken further into the desert to do the quad biking. I've done this before in Egypt some years back and they had us in a line following a lead bike, not here, we could let rip in and it of the dunes for something like 20 mins, this was unbelievable fun, the quads were so easy to ride. Now I have to say that the people already booked on this tour had to pay 69 Dirums about 15 euro to do this but because ours was included in our original tour we didnt, but I would have paid it anyway because it was brilliant. The sun was just going down and Amir took us to a camp for food and soft drinks all complimentary, with 2 shows, a belly dancer who was great and a traditional Arabic dancer which was very entertaining, I have to say that I got up with the belly dancer, throwing some shapes as you do! There was a barbecue of chicken and beef, freshly made rice and salads, pitta and dips, which was so tasty, I really enjoyed it. They had a falcon and you could let it on to your hand and have photos done, so majestic, though I'm not into animals being used as a side show, this was a healthy well cared for bird and very well trained. You could do same boarding down the dunes while the BBQ was being cooked but this was too much effort for us and it had already been a long day. Finally we got to do a short camel ride, this was a great experience and how we never fell off as it got up is beyond me. All in all this was a brilliant day, one I wont forget in a long time, well worth the money and we felt safe with a brilliant Englush speaking guide.
Guida inutile ed annoiata che non vedeva l’ora di tornare indietro. Campo di accoglienza, una specie di trappola per turisti, dove cercano in ogni modo di spillarti soldi (il tour è solo un misero assaggio delle attività, poi se spendi allora puoi fare qualcosa). Solo la guida dei cammelli era simpatica e volenterosa di farti divertire.. gli altri erano solo interessati a farti spendere . Sconsigliato.. spendete soldi altrove.
5 stars. Excellent organization, professional tour guide! It was a wonderful experience. We really enjoyed it. Compliments to our tour guide Neyef!!! Thank you!
Une superbe expérience dans ce désert magnifique! Avec notre guide Mohamed très sympa, il est adorable ! Dommage nous n'avons pas pu faire le surf sur les dunes... sinon parfait!
It all worked out. The excursion is recommended 👍An unforgettable experience with an evening kick 😊
Die Tour hat nicht stattgefunden und wir haben das Geld nicht zurück bekommen ! ACHTUNG ABZOCKE! Wie auf dem Bild zu sehen ist es morgens sehr nebelig. Der Fahrer hat uns gesagt das es morgens immer so ist und er diese Tour niemandem empfohlen würde. Er selbst hat die Tour abgebrochen, weil er nichts mehr sehen konnte und wir bekommen unser Geld nicht einmal zurück
Bei dem Ausflug wurde die Hälfte der Leistung nicht angeboten. Der Ausflug bestand aus Besuch der Kamelfarm, Quadtour und Jeeptour durch die Wüste. Der ganze Ausglug dauerte keine drei Stunden. Unser Fahrer war sehr nett, hatte aber ein anderes Leistungsverzeichnis wie wir
Amazing experience Fays very friendly guide took many pictures.. SUPER recommended visit us camel farm.. we went to the dunes and made sandboarding great fun
très beau moment passé avec Shamil. La sortie dans le désert était très chouette de même que le quad (nous aurions même aimé en faire plus long temps). Nous avons moins aimé les chameaux et le gite un peu trop touristique à notre gout.
