          Unforgettable Experience!
          This was truly one of the best experiences of my life! The ground staff was incredibly professional, and the hospitality was top-notch from start to finish. Watching the sunrise from the hot air balloon was absolutely breathtaking – a magical moment I’ll cherish forever. A big thank you to Rayna and the balloon team for creating such a memorable adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

          Amazing Visa service
          We booked my tickets with Rayna Tours, Also we got visa support from them and Mr Prem helped us a lot from initiation to closure. Great experience with them. They responded very quickly, and unlike other travel agencies who ask for money first and then talk to you, They talked to me first about all my options, took my details and confirmed with me about visa chances and options. They applied for my visa on the same day as I made the payment and the very next day I got my approved visa. Good tour and great communication. Will definitely recommend them.

          Abu Dhabi’s best
          It was one of the best organised safaris compared to the ones we have done before The safaris are not as commercial and we pleasantly stumbled upon Sunil Kumar ( our driver guide ) who made the experience very very memorable with his outstanding zeal to capture every moment which will remain as memory for life Thanks !!! Highly recommended

          An absolutely insane experience
          Quite spontaneously and more by chance, we ended up in the Dubai Mall at the aquarium and booked the big ticket. The organization was a bit chaotic at first. After that, it was a very unusual experience. Being in the middle of a shopping mall in a multi-storey aquarium. The “zoo” is very lovingly designed and - if you have enough time - well worth a visit. You discover many animals that are not found elsewhere. Probably even more exciting with children. Fish feeding and a short boat trip included.

          Bad customer service
          I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the service I received regarding my attempts to book a visit to The Top of the Burj Khalifa on December 29, 2024. After making two separate attempts to book, both were unsuccessful due to a lack of availability, as indicated in the rejection emails I received (Booking References: AGT064372912240291 and AGT064372912240335). While I understand that availability cannot always be guaranteed, I was charged a total of 2212 AED (1106 AED per attempt), despite the bookings being rejected. Your emails stated that any charged transactions would be refunded within seven days. However, it has now been ten days, and I have not received the refund. I have made multiple attempts to contact your team via email and phone but have received no response, which is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate the matter by disputing the charges through my American Express Platinum card. I am confident they will assist in resolving this matter efficiently. I expected a higher standard of service from a globally recognized attraction such as The Top of the Burj Khalifa. Unfortunately, this experience has left me unwilling to use or recommend your services to my friends and family. Please process my refund immediately and confirm once it has been done

          Average experience in Desert safari with dinner
          We had booked through Headout. The driver for the desert safari picked us on time and it was a fair experience till the Desert Camp. Just before the desert camp we  had to switch to a different SUV because the one we were  driving in was not allowed to go up to the camp. This was not expected as we thought we were directly booking with Rayna tours. The Desert Camp itself had really good performances especially the fire act and the belly dance. The food arrangement was really bad and most of the food was over within half an hour the servers also left the stations. Since our original SUV was parked much further we had to again sit in the other SUV to go back to our original car because of this we had to quickly pack up from the Desert Camp. This process spoiled the experience.

          It’s not the desert scenery that we expect
          I would expected to go in desert, dune bashing, but we were taken a short ride in so called desert, wich was in fact near the main road. It wasn’t that landscape that you expect, just desert where you look, and big dunes. Otherwise we liked very much the show that they offer there. The location was very nice, the food excelent. The best of the show was the fire show.

          Excellent Experience in Abu Dhabi and Dubai
          The Abu Dhabi city tour was outstanding. A big thank you to our guide Awais of Rayna Tours. He was punctual and very informed and knowledgeable. He engaged with all of the tourists on board throughout the tour, resulting in an enjoyable and memorable tour from start to finish. Also a special mention to the Travel consultant Yacine Kadri at Voco Hotel, for booking all of our tours and packages during our stay. It was well received and much appreciated. He has excellent customer services and was very helpful. Thank you!

          Not great!
          Good exhibitions for people who have never seen animals before but I come from Australia and I was expecting more interactive exhibits. I was done in 45 mins and thought it was a waste of time for me sorry!

          The driver arrived on time for the transfers and was in constant communication with us. We enjoyed the full day at the park and he was on time for pick up. We were on the last ride and requested 10 minutes extra which he graciously granted. Thanks Ali

        I enjoyed every moment of today with Shabbaz, he was very welcoming since he came to pick me up from my hotel (Tryp by Wyndham) down to the Safari Desert 🏜 He was really good with the handling of his Jeep... The drifting, turning was awesome... He took his time to take take our pictures and entertained us properly, friendly, helpful and sweet.. I GIVE HIM A 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
        I will recommend him for anyone who needs to have a good adventure at the Safari Desert 🐪!

        Had a great experience with so many memories. All the itinerary was Nicely managed by Rayna travels. City tour was best as it gave the overall view of Dubai...special thanks to Mr. Kunal ( Our Guide) who explained each and everything about the destinations, dresses, culture,special things about dubai in a nice way.
        Burj khalifa, stay at atlantis, city tour and cruise made the whole tour amazing and interesting.

        The desert safari ride was really great and even better with our driver, who is doing his best to make the ride as thrilling and fun as possible.

        Before the safari, we got dropped off at an activity camp where there is a souvenir shop, ATV rentals, Camel rides, and photo opp with a hawk. At first, we were skeptical, but we soon realized that just before the safari ride ends, there is a sunset photo op, so we ended up buying the head scarves. The camel ride around the fence is free, and all others are paid activities. Oh, cold water is available for free around the camp.

        The dinner camp after the safari is overall a great way to end the night. All the performers were good and having a great time - especially the fire show! I expected more food choices, but there's still quite a few. There are paid services here, too, like henna, hookah, alcohol drinks, etc.

        The next day, we did the city tour. It started out great with popular places but later ended up visits to shops. Also, we weren't warned about how aggressive the shops are at the gold and spice souks.

        The night dinner cruise was okay. The provided entertainment is good, the food is great, but the weather was too hot for us to stay outside, which is not their fault. I might say their boat is the slowest amongst there and might even be the least attractive.

        Really disappointing after reading all the reviews ( done by people who have 1 or no contribution) . The desert safari was really bad , the dune bashing was about 5 minutes and the rest was selling and stops.
        The city tour was like a big group of mix nationalities and a tour guide who couldnot speak english!

        We took the biggest package for 6 people with 2 jeeps and prepaid 3 buggies.In the hotel we have been told the buggies are quite good for the buggy adventure.When we went there with a bit of delay due to lack of coordination from both sides they showed us bigger buggies.
        On place for maximum “experience “ with the buggy we gave 700 dirhams more for maximum pleasure which was non sense . Its a slow ride through the dessert for 30 minutes with no action involved. It doesnt matter the size of the buggy because the ride is alwful. The cashier convinced me hardly its the best option. Afterwards I inquired money refund for the two buggies and the told me there is not a mistake by them ans thats a sales strategy which is unbelieveble.
        On top of everyrhing there are a lot of restrictions going on in the city so they didnt ride the dunes extremely and it was a smooth slow ride the whole group of 20 jeeps.No body told us about any restrictions they took our money.
        We gave a lot of dirhams for poor experience. The drivers of the jeeps were nice guys.

        We had an amazing trip to the desert. Our driver, Yousef was punctual, informative, and very personable. This was a very special birthday trip for one of our friends and the desert excursion was his long awaited adventure. Yousef made sure that we had a really great experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend requesting him specifically for your trip!

        It was a wonderful experience and enjoyed a lot with Rayna Tours under guidance of Mr. Ozair Hussain, all the arrangements were up to the mark.

        Mostly Desert Safari tour where dune bashing was amazing, the Camp and shows (Arabic Traditional Dance, Fire Show & Belly Dancing) which were arranged in the camp by Rayna tours were awesome.

        The Drivers / Tour Guides which were arrange by Mr. Ozair to took me from Hotel for every tour were very polite, friendly and supportive.

        I would like to thank all the team of Rayna Tours for such support and arrangements specially to Mr. Ozair Hussain.

        I look forward to see you guys again in future.

We call Rayna to ask and they don’t answer or help on to Mr.Desai and Tushar at Rayna continue wasting your time and being unhelpful and uncooperative

        We had a wonderful time at Hampton by Hilton Dubai Airport Hotel. The room was very clean and spacious, also we did a lot of excursions that allowed us to enjoy Dubai even more, thanks to the assessment and expertise of Ozair Hussain ( Travel Consultant ) Rayna Tours , he explained us the different excursions and the activities available and we planned activities for every day we spent in Dubai.
        We really recommend RAYNA TOURS because the Guidance & activities offered by Ozair Hussain that will help to Explore Uae or make your stay perfect!
