A desert adventure to remember - Our desert safari experience with Arabian holidays was truly unforgettable. The pick up and drop off service was punctual , ensuring a hassle free day . Dune bashing provided an adrenaline rush , while the camel ride allowed us to embrace the serene beauty of the desert. Sandboarding added an extra layer of excitement, and the falcon photography and local costume experiences were insightful, allowing us to connect with the local culture. Henna painting for the ladies was delightful touch. The quad bike ride was blast and the evening dance shows entertained us . The BBQ dinner was delicious and satisfying. Arabian holidays gave us a day filled with adventure and culture.

The Not-Really- Desert Safari - This is mass tourism full in the face. There is nothing personalized about it. I booked 7 places via Groupon on the Basic Desert Safari. Perhaps the slightly less than professional attitude when I went to book a date might have given an inkling of what was to come. I was to WhatsApp the vouchers which I did. The person on the other end of the phone specifically said there was no need to print the vouchers. I had them on the Groupon app anyway. We were collected in a bus that has seen better days and taken out to the 'desert.' I have lived in the UAE almost 15 years. The area is made up of low sand hills out the back of Sharjah that have been implanted with a series of tour 'camps.'. Believe me, if you want to see really spectacular desert you want to be in Abu Dhabi emirate. The bus dropped people along the road and we disembarked in a carpark where 4WDs were racing about collecting groups of people for the desert drive. It is 15 minutes of driving through loose sand. I guess its a thrill the first time or for those who don't get out on sand too often. There are no seat belts so very young children could easily be thrown about. You will be deposited at the respective 'camp.' This is where you will quite quickly be parted from the contents of your wallet by any one of a number of side hustles: quad bikes that go around in small circles (100AED for 20 minutes for 1 person or 150AED for two), horse riding, having photo ON the horse without going anywhere, photo with a falcon, photo with kulfiya (AED 20), photo on camel - you won't be asked whether you want this (40AED), walking further than a 50m circle on a camel...There are a good 2 hours for this additional fleecing. Water, tea and coffee are free as it henna painting; the bathrooms are clean and tidy. While we were sitting, the company people approach me to give them access to the email from Groupon confirming the purchase. Remember they already had them via WhatsApp. I had printed them as well. Better safe then sorry. No - they wanted the email. Apparently they don't get paid otherwise. Why don't they say this when you make the original call to book the date? Poor organization all round. I have used Groupon many times and this is the first time any company has done this. The food was substandard. Cold onion 'chips' and something resembling a pastry-cum-deepfry item. Even disguised with ketchup it was inedible. They are not pushing the boat out on dinner either. Very basic. It is not a whole lot better for the VIP package. There are 'shows' - a couple of belly dancers neither setting the world alight; the twirling Moroccans and a fire show. Those had some interest but none of it is connected in any way to Emirati culture. Outside the camel have gone and it is a wait for a 4WD to take you back to the main bus. There we waited 40 minutes for a family to arrive. The driver appeared to have reserved seats for people and there was an argument in which the company staff showed themselves to be extraordinarily unprofessional. If you want to have reserved seats, have allocated numbers. It was a poor ending to a mediocre outing. If you want to do these safaris, go much further afield and well away from these commercialized bits of desert. Better still, hire your own 4WD and go out to the section that are untouched and where the solitude of the desert is part of the memory. This is not it. Only recommend if desperate.

Very poor - Extremely difficult to get picked up, a driver was hour late without apologising. Be prepared to pay additional money for photos, shisha, and having people constantly trying to sell you something. Only good thing is the experience in the dessert.

No experience! - We were not allowed to board the bus at the point of pick. Complete waste of time. I expect a refund and apology.
