Dubai: Premium Safari, Camel Ride, Lisaili Fort Camp, Bbq Buffet

We celebrated New Year’s Eve at The Fort – Lisaili and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. We arrived around 5 PM to get a good spot and avoid the expected traffic, but the drive was surprisingly easy and took us only about 25 minutes. There was plenty of parking close to the camp, and transportation was also available as an option when booking. The venue looked beautiful, with traditional low seating, cushions, festive decorations, and a great desert atmosphere. Watching the sunset from the top of the dunes was a perfect way to start the evening. There was plenty to keep everyone entertained, including a DJ, fire show, archery, camel rides, quad bikes, and dune buggies. The whole setup worked very well for families and groups. The food was also very good, with plenty of variety throughout the evening. There were refreshments, ice cream and cotton candy, followed by shawarma, Arabic mezze and salads. For the main course, there was a selection of Indian dishes as well as a live grill serving lamb cutlets, chicken and beef. What really stood out was the hospitality. The staff were friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. A special thank you to Zahir, Usman and Sulaiman for taking such good care of us and helping make the evening memorable. At midnight, the fireworks were a great finish to the night and a wonderful way to welcome 2025. Overall, we had a great New Year’s Eve experience and would happily return. If you’re looking for a different way to celebrate New Year’s Eve away from the city, surrounded by the Dubai desert, The Fort – Lisaili is definitely worth considering.

A great dune driving and evening experience at Fort Lisaili courtesy of Arjun and Asif. We were a family of 7, ranging from 10 to 87. Arjun and Asif were on time, friendly, knowledgeable and flexible - great guides. Nothing was rushed and nothing was too much trouble. The vehicles were in very good condition and comfortable. Really enjoyable. Thank you both.

Raj was our tour guide for the day. Amazing experience 10/10. Did the dune buggies for 2 hours then had an amazing camel ride and dune bashing experience in a 4x4. And a michelin star tasting dinner. Would come again

There is a saying “Desert…is a very good place to find yourself. Or lose yourself.” I came to desert safari with Arabian Adventures and I found my NEW self here after loosing my OLD self in the desert. Ohh... What a great experience it was!!! I love the Falcon. The set up they made for evening leaisure named "Whispering Angels" and the romantic gazebo style dinner set up were too awesome 💯💯💯. Food was presentable and tasty👌👌👌 Mohammad Bhai with falcon, the witty Sajidbhai, fire dancer mustafabhai, The Musician and above all the adventure artist of dune bashing and our host and dost Ismail made this safari a blockbuster for me. Thank you Arabian Adventures. I would like to join you guys again and recommending to everyone to go for it.

Our flight was late! We said can we reschedule for the next date! They said we can pay another $1,700!!!!! We said that’s ludicrous! You have room today, we don’t have to have dinner, we simply want our kids to have the experience of riding the dune buggies in the sand, we have already paid well over $1,500 American dollars this is pure evil. They gave us another $200 off, so we still would have paid an additional $1,500 to ride a go cart.

Our tour guide was the best! So friendly and informative, amazing experience from the dune bashing to the camels and dinner, I can’t fault a thing!

it was a lovely experience most especially with the driver Mr. Rafiq, very nice gentleman, who ensures that as we move pass any landmark, he takes his time to explain and never gets tired of our Questions. we are definitely going to come back and am going to request he drives us again.

An amazing afternoon/evening. The dune driving lasted over 40 mins with a break for photos before arriving at the "fort". Plenty of time for a short camel ride, sand boarding (sitting not standing) and the live show was entertaining. Could not fault the food, and there was lots of choice and plenty of it. We chose the soft drink package, but those on the alcohol package had a basic choice with no limit. Picked up in Dubai JBR 4pm back 9.45pm.

Honestly the best experience ever. Couldn’t have had a more perfect guide, Nadir aka Baba, made the whole experience genuinely amazing. So kind, friendly, knowledgeable about the safari, dubai and beyond. He was truly phenomenal! Desert safari was great with fabulous food and entertainment. Thank you again to Nadir, could not recommend him enough!

Excellent . Amazing experience , very friendly and professional person Zico takes care of everything . Enjoyed the Desert safari with Abdul Rehman and the helicopter rides as well. Extremely memorable

Amazing experience with brawn at jw maariot . He helped us planning a great trip . We had great dessert safari and yatch. 😊

The trip was amazing from start to finish our host Bokhari was excellent and looked after us, he was very knowledgeable about the whole experience

It was the VIP version where only 4 px were in one group. Charming drink parlor & dinner table payola were set up just for us. BBQ food was cooked at the spot. Services was by one gentleman who was so diligent. Our guide, Suleman, was so knowledgeable & experienced. You know you are in good hands. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I would like to compliment Khalid's performance today on the Morning Desert Tour. He was an amazing tour guide, he made our trip so much better. He was so knowledgeable about animals, plants, natural medicine and nature. My family really enjoyed his explanations. He was also very observant to see if we found animals along the way, checking the animal's footprints in the sand. He was a very kind man and he was really pleasant  to talk to. He also took amazing pictures of us, giving us suggestions of angles and he even took portrait pictures of my brother! I can honestly say that he made our tour so much better and so much more interesting.

This was very well put together. Our guide Arjun was amazing. He was super helpful throughout. I would recommend this to anyone.

Brawn is the perfect tour concierge (JK Marriott)! The tour was exceptional, not just a typical tourist attraction, but a genuine glimpse into what the desert has to offer. The food was excellent, and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend 100%!

we are two adults and three kids (13, 11 & 9). we had so much fun and learnt a lot about the history of dubai thanks to our knowledgeable guide, arjun, who also doubled as a gun rally driver (!) and took such good care of us. highly recommend this to anyone visiting dubai.

Excellent customer service, right from coordination before pick up till drop off, zero complaints! Big shout out to the Safari guide / Tour Lead - Mr. Arjun, thorough professional and eager to support, all our requirements were met promptly in full, much appreciated, keep up the great work

Our guide ShanJaan was AMAZING!!!!!!! He had the best spirit and energy ever! He was very polite, friendly, and knowledgeable about Dubai and the desert. He made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. He was very helpful to other jeeps who got stuck with people in our group in assisting and helping them out. I truly loved my experience and I owe it all the Shan and his service. Thank You all so much for your hospitality. We were a large group of 400 and Shan treated us and our entire group with great service there were even people who weren't in our jeep talking about how he helped them at the desert stops. Thank You Thank You Thank You Shan and many blessings to you and your family.

Raj was amazing. He made the experience even better than what we thought possible. So much value in this as well. Book the VIP, you won’t regret it.

The tour was great but Raj our tour guide made it amazing. His knowledge, good service and professionalism, got us through an incredible safari experience. Thanks to Raj for going above and beyond and make sure all our needs were fulfilled. Do not miss the opportunity to do this tour and if you can do it with Raj you will have the full experience.

Hycant drove us on the dessert tour today. He was a gentleman. Very informative , safe driver. We enjoyed the sand dune drive. He took great photos of our family. The food was abundant and tasty and the entertainment very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour especially with Hycant.!!!

Hycent was the world best driver ever!!! We had the best Tour ever! Thanks a lot Hycent! The Tour was perfect and we had the best dinner!

Amazing experience - a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy. We did the VIP version with all options including dinner, dancers as well, it was so comprehensive and well organised. Our guide was Hyecnt, extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Our company held our Global Directors Conference in Dubai in September 2024 and decided to do the Dubai Desert Safari through Arabian Adventures. The whole booking experience was excellent from start to finish - the communication was always prompt - such a friendly group to deal with. The desert safari could not have been better. We got picked up from our hotel on the Palm in spacious cars, driven by experienced drivers who were so friendly, full of knowledge and clearly wanted us to have the best experience possible. The dune thrill ride was just awesome. Plenty of wildlife to see. Sunset and drinks - just perfect! The drivers made sure we got group photos, they were so accommodating as was the tour guide assigned to our group. The camel ride was a huge hit as was the BBQ dinner, belly dancer and fire show. Unfortunately none of us made the sand boarding - had too much fun soaking everything in and chatting in the camp. The drivers took us back to our hotel after dinner and the shows. It could not have been made any easier for us. I would highly recommend this experience for young and old.

Thank you for the exceptional service, we went with the friends and it was amazing experience for us. Very friendly staff Thanks for Zico and for sure we will go again☺️

We had the tour already last year and we decided to came back once again this time with a private (non shared) vehicle . The experience is always amazing and interesting, our driver Ismaill has been very careful and kind. He helped us taking pictures and did his best to accomodate us in the best table and supportive as it was really hot and humid. He entertained us with tales and other info during the whole trip. We would definitely do it again!

I’ve got one of the most exciting Experiences in my life, no only for the safari but all the tour guide I took. My guide was Omara and he gave us the best experience ever. We are so happy and for sure we will return.

We booked the VIP Experience for our family of 4. One vehicle. We were hosted and driven by Taslim. He was absolutely awesome. Brilliant driver. Had us all squealing with delight. Snowboarding camel ride, beautiful food, drinks and entertainment. Can't rave enough. Thanks Taslim.

This was the highlight of our time in Dubai. The dune drive and skateboarding in the sand was so much fun for our teens. Plenty of time to take pictures at sunset and lots of activities during the dinner show. Expect to be hot during this outdoor activity, is part of the desert experience!

Superb experience with Arabian Adventures. Professional set up and the guide Sher made it such fun. Dune bashing, pics at Sunset and then good food and entertainment made it great value for money. Would highly recommend and will do this next time with friends!

My sister and I were in Dubai vacationing in March of 2023 and had a wonderful time with Bohkari as our guide. Bohkari is very friendly, knowledgeable, and overall just welcoming, there is an easy about him that is comforting. The drive to the desert was smooth, dune bashing was exciting, the provided dinner was delicious, and the multi-part show extremely entertaining. I purchased the spirits package and all my drinks were top shelf and generously poured. I loved that Shisha and henna were also available which added to the vibe. I don’t know how they did it in the middle of the desert, but clean restrooms are also available for use. I still look back at my photos often and recommend this tour to everyone I know.

We went for the VIP package. we really enjoyed it, it was 4 of us. Arjun our guide was excellent, he new a lot, if you like talking, asking questions, listening and if you don't know much about Dubai he is your man. The dunes was just enough 20 minutes roughly anymore and you could get car sickness, if you suffer from this then take a anti sickness pill. Snow boarding was fun but could only do it once, it was ok worth doing just to say you did it. Was nice seeing the sun set. Arjun our guide was always taking pictures with our phones. Then the 3 course meal and drinks on tap was good. the short camel ride was nice, was short but just good to try if you haven't been on one. The night finished about 9-9:30 but our group stayed until 10:15

Hycant was an amazing host. He is sooooo good at making this experience brilliant. Beautiful scenery and driving across the sand dunes was insane.

We had the best trip to the safari! Our guide Farman was the best! He was knowledgeable on everything we asked him, so kind and really made our experience better ! Everything was brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for a better evening !

Great and very professional hosts. Always on time. I did several events with them (business & leisure) and all have been a memorable adventure.

A really outstanding service matched only by superb staff who cannot do enough to make something memorable. Absolutely worth the money. We took a private tour, and selected a camel ride (to the area laid out for drinks and a separate area for dinner). It was lovely.

We can't say enough good things about our experience with Arabian adventures! Our guide Bahadur was exceptional. His knowledge of the flora and fauna was impressive and his dune driving was like a roller coaster in the desert! We enjoyed our meal and entertainment vwry much as well. We have seen many belly dancers but that nights dancer was fantastic. We look forward to our next trip with Arabian Adventures!

Wow! VIP safari tour through Myriam- she was extremely accommodating, booked Ismail as our tour guide and he was amazing!

This was so fun!!! Everything was planned out well. Our driver/guide was THE BEST!! He was super attentive to us the entire evening.

Our private desert tour experience was excellent - it definitely exceeded our expectations, and Siraj (our guide for the day) made sure we were well taken care of, and completed all of our activities. We drove sand dune buggies, rode a camel, sandboarding, and had a wonderful private dinner in the desert. Siraj went above and beyond to make the day special for us as he knew it was our honeymoon. He even took us at night to sandboarding and made our dinner experience very memorable. Highly recommend!

We had a great time. Starting with the ride through the Dunas to the final dinner with dances and henna. Our experience was not just amazing because of the landscape and activities, thanks to our guide, Anoop. we learned interesting facts about the culture all along every part of the tour. Thanks for the tour and for your kindness @anoop!

I normally do not write reviews but this trip was amazing. The tour guide Ismail was fantastic and so attentive. 3 course dinner was very tasty and great entertainments during it. All staff were very friendly too. I will never forget this awesome experience and highly recommend this trip.

Our Arabian Adventure desert safari experience exceeded all expectations, thanks to the VIP treatment and exceptional service provided by Arabia Adventure and Ibrahim, our driver and guide. From exhilarating dune bashing to mesmerizing sunset views, every moment was unforgettable. Ibrahim's expertise and warm hospitality added a personal touch, making us feel like royalty throughout the journey. We highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable desert adventure. Ibrahim, with his professionalism and friendly demeanor, truly made our experience extraordinary.

Brillant experience - fabulous driver and a good laugh from start to finish. The service is great and the food was fabulous. Definitely worth a trip!

We booked the VIP desert safari and it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. Our guide Bokhari was excellent throughout, picking up us promptly from our hotel and talking us through all the sites and history of Dubai as we made our way to the desert. Once there, he expertly drove across the dunes and during the activities of sand boarding, camel riding and evening dinner/entertainment. He was friendly, polite and an excellent photographer! Bokhari and the whole team provided an excellent service with plenty of tasty food and drink. This was the highlight of our holiday and we would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Dubai!

Our driver and guide, Ismail Moideen, was amazing! He showed us all the things he loves about the desert. He was kind, knowledgeable, pleasant, and answered all our questions. He is an expert driver on the sand dunes. He definitely deserves a raise in salary! We hope to send our friends and family in the future to do your tours with Ismail! He is top!

The desert safari was an experience we will never forget. We were picked up directly at the hotel and our giude was great. He took a lot of time for us, told us a lot and took great photos. We can really recommend the safari and Ajun our Giude

Arabian adventures is the best company, not only did our travel agent Florencia assist us with bookings we made she also helped us to solve issues we had along the way. She was just amazing and I would not use any other tour company if in Dubai. You will not be disappointed with the efficiency and friendliness! Thank you Florencia, you made our holiday!
