1001 night in a wonderful ambience with great service - We were looking for a suitable desert tour for some time, without dune bashing, quad biking etc., which also does not last 7 hours, just a nice dinner in the desert - we found it here and our expectations were even exceeded. It started with our friendly driver Syed Assad, who uncomplicatedly contacted WhatsApp for pickup, in a comfortable Nissan Quest along with another couple. The program in the desert fortress was also completely left to everyone - we took beautiful pictures with a trusty falcon, refrained from camel or horse riding (w/animal hair allergy) or henna, and the partly in the reviews criticized too intrusive souk dealers we did not know at all. The dinner was very varied and extensive, the service very attentive and the program as from 1001 nights, which you probably imagine it to be and even better (a single small criticism here - we had a great place relatively far ahead, but which also, as we only discovered afterwards, probably brought small soot stains on the clothes from particles from the fire show, which also went out hard in the cleaning). The ambience in the fortress was simply magical, pure romance, quite relaxed and confirmed us in our choice over the desert camp, which was not far away, but this magic can only offer to a limited extent. After just over 4 hours Syed brought us back to our hotel safe and relaxed - a wonderful unique experience we would not want to miss.

Super trip - Beautiful location, horses, camels and falcon... delicious food. Show was all right. Have booked the excursion mainly because of the location

Too much up-selling! - The Fortress, entertainment and food was very good. However, there is far too much up-selling of goods and activities. We booked this trip because it was simple. We came away feeling exhausted from saying "no thank you" to everyone who approached us. It's a real spoiler.

Mixed Review on Desert Fortress Dinner - Having attended different Desert Safaris and Dinners, we were pleased to discover a new resort and concept from Tour Dubai with following highlights : We loved the fortress design and infrastructure, the delicious and abundant buffet, the pleasant camel and arabic horse rides and the fantastic experienced staff for these activities, the falcon holding (amazing !). The performance show was average and not as amazing as for other providers. We didn't like the over-expensive prices for any adds-on (such as Shisha) and had a particularly bad experience on the expensive car transfer. On the way to the Fortress, the driver didn't had any GPS and used an inappropriate route resulting in more than 30 minutes delay. During the dinner, the driver left and we were abandonned on the parking without solution to return to Dubai. Thankfully, one of the employee of the resort brought us with his personal car back to our place and we would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to this person for his amazing assistance and support.

Charming rip-off merchants, there is much better than this - This is our second time doing this in two years so we have some creditability. Firstly, there are so many others doing the same experiece but much much better....so shop around. Reason for our adverage scores : the organisation and communication was super poor , the package was not as we ordered and we had to get upset to get it fixed...crammed in car with others etc. And, then this, 'Warning' at the stop off, you are ushered into a room packed with pushy, charming men pushing head dress...they charged the same price for our amazing hotel room with beautiful breakfast for what is essentially two large cheap tea towels and 2 x cheap head dress props from Amazon must only cost 30 UAE and charged 460 UAE....we feel so ripped off it's not funny.... Secondly, the camp site is fake, and just on the outskirts of the city (others have camps way out in the desert so you feel ourback, this one is 'goldcoast movie world, city close and this one is super fake, dressed up to be something it is not). The meal ok but wa such low grade, dressed up to be something special but was pretty poor for the $, and then the table wine... must be the cheapest wine $ can buy ( i mean, Aldi cheap) and they charge a premium like it is domthing special, really spit out aweful ( not the only one). To this end, sounds like a super windge, and it is but it unfortunately typified where Dubai's tourism is going, 'large, fake theatre, mass money generators'.... we were so disappointed, left feeling flat and totally ripped off...please shop around, our last one was so much better, more fun and not as fake...thanks for the listen

Parking 20.00€ more a shame We will not return
