Awesome! Cannot describe the unbelievable experience of sitting under dessert skies at a campsite in the middle of the dessert! The thought of dune bashing terrified me and I screamed my head off but it was exhilarating and I would not have missed it for the world. Our driver was fantastic, he started slowly as he knew I was apprehensive and kept asking me if I was ok before speeding up and continuing, a real gentleman. The barbeque was great and the belly dancer certainly entertained and included half the audience at some point! Sand boarding, camel riding and sand art all added to the fun. Definitely recommend this to anyone, especially do the private tour and the quad biking is a must for any youngsters or avid thrill seekers. Only drawback was the heat was approx 49C which made quad biking too hot for comfort! Other than that don't come to Duabi without doing this tour! Saw other tours doing dune bashing by the roadside whereas this is in the heart of the dessert at a cosy campsite and provides an awesome experience with a very caring operator.

Great trip! Everyone I talked to there seemed to have a GREAT time. Itinerary is pretty much as stated in the description. We also got to see and buy sand art, pretty cool, but you can buy it cheaper in city stores and at the airport. The dancer is Russian and not Arabian but she moves her body well - be prepared to be asked to participate in the dance. Company photographers will be everywhere and offer to sell you a CD or DVD with pictures and movies after the trip. The only reason I can see for booking the more expensive private trip over the general one is that pickup and departure times can be more flexible if you have your own vehicle, but everything else is the same.

It was well organised although there was a delay in reaching our final destination owing to the other cars being delayed but we had a superb driver who very patiently answered all my son's queries and gave us a wonderful ride on the dunes. The food was excellent and our fellow travellers were friendly. The sand boarding was good fun, it was the first time for us, and it was definitely an experience not to be missed. Hats off to the lovely Ukrainian belly dancer who got us all wiggling with great gusto.

Well organized, everything was as described. Pickup at hotel was on time and met our expectations. Guides and all of the personnel were helpful and made our trip an experience to remember. It was a new and exhilarating experience for both my family and I. Thank YOU for exceeding our expectations.

Couldn't ask for a better night out. The guide driver was excellent and food was superb. Camels a mockery but still worth the ride if you get the chance go for it

Sanddune ride was good, only improvement needed is to increase the distance between vehicles so that passengers in one car can make photographs or videos of other vehicles as they glide through sand. Dinner time was shorter and it would be really great if Sheesha could be served before meal and at the same place where people sit for eating. Also extend your pick and drop to places other than hotels like various malls.

There were three of us on the tour, we added 1 hour quads to the experience and we were told by our driver the office had only booked 2 quads so our time had been reduced to 40 mins. The dune bashing only lasted 10 mins because we had added the quads to the tour! Very disappointed!
