This is the second tine we have done the safari and it still rates as the 'not to be missed' activity in Dubai. An exhilarating ride and an enjoyable evening at the camp. MUST DO!!

Fabulous! Orient Tours were amazing. The sand duning was spectacular. Food was great and the entertainment was 1st class. We had a couple of tourists who unfortunately made themselves at home at the shisha pipes and didn't move from there until dinner time. But that aside, we had a brilliant time and would do this again when next we're in Dubai.
