The customer support was very thoughtful and the guide was a good communicator, he was very kind as well. Th car was clean and comfortable. We spent an hour at the camp with people trying to sell things, which I found very annoying. As we spent too much time in th camp, the time for sunset fotos was less than 15 minutes and we also didnt do the dune bashing as advertised, that was very upsetting. The BBQ dinner was delicious and the show was very nice. Overwall, I would say the experience is worth because the price is very affordable.

Due to heavy traffic, the trip to the venue took 2 hours. We missed sunset. Further, to dune bashing was definitely not 'family friendly' as announced in the booking. Our daughter (6) was crying all the time. The driver did not care. Once at the venue, everything was fine

After reviewing lot of different desert safaris across different websites, finally decided to go with this one as it was within our budget and had good reviews. It lived up to our expectations and it was worth the experience. Everything was well arranged. Dinner and the night shows were fantastic. The only thing that we didn't like was the overselling of products at their stores which is quite natural at a tourist place.

Experience Traditional Bedouin Culture

There is no dearth of activities to take part in at the traditional Bedouin-style desert camp in the Dubai desert. After you are transported to the desert camp in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle from your hotel, you will get the opportunity to go on a thrilling SUV ride. Before boarding your SUV, taste a few authentic Arabian sweets such as Gahwa and sip on Arabic coffee. Then, skim over the massive sand dunes and experience the desert like you never have before in an all-terrain vehicle. This is also an excellent time to take a few pictures of your group in the desert. Head back to camp and relax with a luxurious sheesha pipe. Alternatively, you could choose to partake in Henna painting and other intriguing camp activities. Spend some time clicking photographs of your loved ones dressed in traditional Arabian Dishdashas and Abayas.

Enjoy a Palatable Dinner with a Fire Show

Shortly after an exciting camel ride through the desert, you will be back in the camp to witness an awe-inspiring Fire Show and Tanoura Dance. Enjoy a mesmerizing Belly Dance show before taking a stroll around camp and exploring the live bar. Known for its fresh fruits and hot grills, the buffet is a particularly sought after part of this tour. Take one last look around Masyaf Camp before heading back to your hotel.
