The driver was very nice and the dune bashing part was pretty good too, but on the other hand the rest of the experience wasn't quite as nice. The breakfast that was be included never happened, instead we got a half of a mini cup of some tea and a single date. The sand boarding part was way too short and we didn't have time to enjoy it all and felt very rushed to return to the car.

Everything was nice, especially the sand bushing. But one thing that make the one star down was the attitude the staff responded to us where we were not able to play and experience the sand boarding, he just replied it's because it's too hot now. Perhaps he should tell us to experience the sand boarding first when the temperature was better. Otherwise, everything was fine. For the quad bike it's just making round in the field provided, if you're fancy in driving in the desert make sure you book a double quad bike style.
It was exiting drive. But captain was silent and ask only at direct questions, anyway he's a professional driver and we felt free during the trip to desert.
Very good organization and communication. We were always informed promptly after booking. The guide was punctual and friendly. During the drive into the desert, he informed us about the area we were driving through. Everything went really well.

The experience was amazing! Our host and driver Mr. Dilawar Khan was very friendly and supportive. He even lent his sunglasses to me during ATV ride as I forgot mine back at the apartment. This was quite unexpected and polite gesture. He made sure we were comfortable and that we had the most fun possible. Cheers!
The pick up was exactly in time and also the return back was organizend well. The Guide Ehsan Khan Battani was very friendly and cared about as very well. Especially during the dune bashing and the dune surfing. He took a lot of very good picturs from us and really motivated us to many poses. Very good :-)

The safari is a great value for those of us who just want the basic desert safari experience without all the bells and whistles. Our guide and driver, Aftab, was friendly and professional. He gave us a great dune bashing experience and did not try to push us to add things to the safari that we did not want.
It was fantastic, Aftab was a good guide, he isa very good driver

It depends on what you're looking for. Morning desert safaris have the advantage of being held during early hours of the day, allowing you to enjoy the experience in bright daylight. Moreover, morning safaris focus on adventure activities which may be difficult to experience during the evening, so that's another advantage of opting for these. Evening safaris include elaborate BBQ dinners and live entertainment, focusing more on the entertainment aspect of the experience. Finally, another major indication is cost. Morning safaris are relatively lower priced compared to evening safaris in Dubai.
While the price may vary depending on the experience and inclusions you opt for, our starting price for morning safaris is as low as only AED 95.

You'll be picked up from your hotel or a common meeting point in the city in an air-conditioned vehicle and dropped back after the safari. This will save you the hassle of planning your commute, since the deserts are located quite far from the city.
The summer months between June to September get quite hot during the desert and may not be the ideal time to go for a morning desert safari. It's best to visit between October to April to enjoy pleasant mornings in the desert.
It's best to wear comfortable cotton clothing like trousers, shorts, and t-shirts, with breathable shoes on your safari in Dubai. Don’t forget to carry sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, cap, or scarf.
Pregnant women, guests with heart, neck, or spine conditions, and senior citizens are advised to avoid adventure activities such as dune bashing.
