From the first moment we arrived, the scenery left us speechless. The sandy stretches, imposing sand dunes and gorgeous sunsets made my heart skip a beat. The organization of the safari was excellent. The guides were very knowledgeable about the area and shared with us great facts about the fauna and flora of the area.Written 26 October 2024

Don't get misled: there are no high dunes there. The dunes are something like 3m high and you don't even get to climb them: you ride on a short track in between them. It's unclear why we had to drive for 1 hour from Dubai for that.
This track is apparently shared with other tours. After we booked an evening session (nonrefundable), they reached out to us to let us know that our experience is going to be crappy because of all the other tourists, unless we change for a morning session, so we changed. Luckily we were alone in the end, but we didn't get to see the sunset in the desert.
The pace of the ride is quite low: we had a person with no driving license and not much driving practice, he could easily keep up. The guides said they can't go any faster because of deflated tires in their landcruiser. If you want to go faster (i.e. switch to the 2nd gear at least), you need to fall behind to make space, but they don't allow it: the guides are in a single car in front so obviously they can't be sure of your safety if you're too far behind. Would be better if there was a second guide's car at the tail
The guides warn you against going sideways or drifting but they don't really insist on it, so in fact you can do it, yay!
The sandboarding is a joke: they give you a snowboard with no bindings and let you to go down from a ~3m hill in a straight line.
We didn't get a Complimentary Desert Safari.

This is one activity you do not want to pass up!! We did something different everyday while we were in Dubai! We visited the mosque in Abu Dhabi, rode camels, did a dessert safari tour, a night tour, a night cruise dinner rode the worlds longest zip line, rode ATV’s, dune bashing inside a truck……and I must say, my husband and I enjoyed driving the Dune buggy the most!! Talk about an adrenaline rush! We followed the driver in front of us who lead the way in the suv and it was amazing to see how skilled he was as a driver. There were times I thought the truck was about to slide down the dune. I remember telling my husband maybe we need to go a different way, but my husband was up for the challenge and went anyway! It was sooo fun! I actually got an opportunity to drive alone and I absolutely loved every second of it!! The dune buggy is well put together and very very safe! I felt confident in knowing I wouldn’t flip over. Every twist and turn in the dune buggy was everything! The best part was driving over a high dune and not knowing what’s on the other side. We went towards the evening time and saw the prettiest sunsets and the temperature was just right! The staff communicated everything with us and we had a ride from our hotel to the desert and back. When we visit Dubai again, we will definitely be going back for this thrill of an adventure in the desert. I think the next time we go, I’ll rent my own and my husband can rent his own!! Great staff, great customer service and great communication!! Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!

An amazing morning in top class dune buggies across the desert - loved it !
We were collected at 8am from hotel, both the driver and jeep were great.
Once we arrive at the desert, we have chance to use the toilets and get water - then after a short safety briefing we headed off into the dunes… WOW ! What an experience, the guide was FANTASTIC and despite taking us on some pretty scary dunes, he constantly checked on us to make sure we were ok…it was brilliant, can recommend them and the Dune Buggy Safari enough…
Recommendation: go early, when we left it was getting really hot so pleased we booked the 8am pickup.
Loved it and will be coming again !

It was one of the most exciting and beautiful experiences I have had so far.
The desert at sunset is a spectacle that leaves you speechless.
Sultan and Raul are very kind and friendly, and do their job with great passion.
Before starting the experience, Sultan gave us an initial brefing to explain how to drive the buggy, and then he was always helpful and attentive all the time.
I recommend this experience to anyone coming to Dubai, whether for business or vacation :)

Absolutely fantastic outing in the 3000cc buggys. We had Nawaz as our tour guide who was brilliant start to finish. We came across a guy stuck in the desert on his own and Nawaz was kind enough to stop and pull him out!We would highly recommend this experience to anyone even if you are not an experienced driver. They cater for everyone!
Also, Nawaz kindly got us on a camel ride for some photos!
Will be back again :)

We booked the trip by phone. The pick up was done in Land Cruiser SUV and it was a private transfer to our surprise. Reaching there , safety briefing was given, helmets and goggles provided, and then started the ride with our desert guide Ijaz Ahmed and back up by our guide Jay. The buggies were amazingly powerful, brand new and automatic transmission and easy to control even in steep heights and depths. We did sand boarding as well. Water and soft drinks were also served and the brief history of desert and the Bedouin lives were well explained by Jay convincingly.
Very professional and polite staff with decades of experience , you will feel absolutely safe with them.
A must do excursion while you are in UAE
Strongly recommend!

Nawaz made this day incredible. We booked the Dune Buggy experience but received so much more. On arrival, they sat at us in a beautiful air conditioned room and offered us refreshments while they got the vehicles ready. We had went on a thrilling expedition through the desert, finally arriving at the top of a dune where are guide helped take amazing pictures.
We also got to go sand boarding which was an unexpected surprise, but I’m so glad we did it. We thought that our morning adventure was over, but yet again there was another surprise. We ended our morning with a beautiful breakfast and the desert which included delicious local delicatessen‘s, eggs, fresh juices, and coffee. We even got a brief history lesson on the deserts development and Dubai as a whole.
Nawaz couldn’t of been a better guide. I recommend this tour and company to any traveler looking to spice things up and add a little bit of thrill to their Dubai trip.

Excellent!! The dune buggy ride was private, led by an expert guide. Truly a great desert experience with great vehicles. After the buggy ride, we took a 30 min camel ride that was everything we were hoping for. Would highly recommend!

I could not imagine a better combination of comfort and thrill than this dune buggy adventure. My friend and I were greeted very kindly by Jay, who led us on an invigorating drive through the desert, complete with sand boarding.
Jay very generously gave us extra time to drive, and provided us with helpful advice. He recognized that I was an experienced driver and led me accordingly, while slowing down for my less experienced / competent friend.
I highly recommend this trip for all skill levels and ages, and will certainly come back on my next trip to Dubai.
