Keep on trekking - We were kept informed of our scheduled camel trekking excursion. Waseem was prompt at pick up time. We had the 45” camel ride with the guide taking many pictures with many photo stops. Enjoyed the falcon show and sweet snack treat. We were catered to the entire event, there was always a guide with us. We had a table seating at the edge of the stage and were served our meal. We had a wonderful camel trekking, off-roading experience with plenty of food!! This excursion is well worth the value. Book this one today.

Enjoy a perfect desert sunset.. - My wife and I have visited Dubai together about 10/11 times since 2010. Personally, my first visit to Dubai was in 1973, when I remember it just as a fishing port. In the middle of a small souk was a Wimpy joint, where I bought a burger and fries. Such pleasant memories. Anyway, back to 2026 ! We chose not to select a specific 4x4 dune-bash because we have experienced this twice before. The 4x4 dune-bash is great fun, but it is absolutely essential that you select a reputable, desert-licensed company with professionally trained/qualified drivers using high-spec vehicles (with roll cage bars in case of a roll-over). There is a risk of roll-over in this type of environment, but I have not seen/experienced/heard of such a thing - a testament to the professionalism you can expect if you make the right choices. We were collected from our hotel at DXB by a super guy called Tarik M. A Moroccan man, who spoke perfectly good ‘English’ English ! We have travelled very widely across the Eastern Hemisphere and have engaged with a huge number of tour guides, and we can tell you that this guy is hard to beat. Tarik was gentle, pleasant, a great communicator, informative, happy to provide local/cultural information to/from the event - and happy to engage with us (enjoying a little practice with our limited use of the Arabic language). We had Tarik all to ourselves for the whole event, and he showed us great care and attention throughout. Once we left the main road network and entered the desert sands, Tarik adjusted the tyre pressures and gave us a gentle (but exciting) sand dune ride to the ‘camel meeting point’. Great fun. Here we were introduced to our camel ‘walker’. I regret not recording the name of this man, but he wore the traditional dish-dashah and shemagh. He spoke understandable English, was ‘smiley’, demonstrated great care of us getting on/off the camels and stopped occasionally throughout this stunning 45-minute ride. My wife and I each had a camel (although there is room for two on each animal). Our camel walker asked for my mb phone so that he could take pictures of us throughout the ride. I gladly gave it, and was happy to see great results. The desert is beautiful (and I am still in love with it, even after 52 years). *Hold on tight to the grab-rail as the camel is told to stand up/kneel down. After a peaceful, scenic ride we returned to the ‘Bedouin village’, but some yards outside the ‘village’ we realised a table had been set just for the two of us, where we were served Arabic coffee, dates and a bowl of tasty, sweet treats (similar to, but not the same as, profiteroles) by Tarik. Tarik reminded us that the desert is cold at night. He provided us with blankets, although we wore our jackets. Take warm clothing, because you will need it !! I suggest you wear shoes, socks and trousers/denim. Maybe take a cap, or wear a shemagh for a feeling of authenticity perhaps. The sand can suddenly be blown towards you, so perhaps think about eye protection. We were then invited to a well designed ‘village’ environment, in the centre of which was a square-shaped, large, low-level stage (for the tannouri, belly dancing and fire eater shows). Then came more food ! Firstly, samosas and falafel, bottled water, cola etc. Alcohol is available at extra cost (we didn’t bother with alcohol, it also seemed disrespectful). Then more food. Hot food, in stainless steel containers (chicken, lamb, pasta). Lots of side dishes, salad, slaw, humous. I couldn’t eat my usual amount here, because I had gorged on the Arabic sweets, dates and coffee. There are adequate toilet facilities, lockable cubicle doors, wash basins, soap and paper towels. Disappointing to see people leaving the toilets without washing their hands (my wife reported the same). Everywhere we travel, we witness the same thing - and then (surprise, surprise) we learn of terrible infection outbreaks. Morons walk amongst us. You will be approached by a few guys who wish to sell you some souvenirs. We bought a couple of items (coloured sand in a bottle) so be prepared to politely barter- it can be fun. Don’t worry… they will not be out of pocket. * These guys are permitted to approach you by the owner of the event, so don’t worry. The owner introduced himself to us, at our VIP table. Nice guy, good businessman ! What a completely fantastic night. We had not heard of this company before (Oscar Knight) but would use them again without hesitation… 100%

Unparalleled desert experience ! - There isn’t a selection button for ‘spouse’ or ‘partner’ above. Anyway, this trip was with my wife. We have visited Dubai about 10/11 times before. Personally, my first visit to Dubai was in 1973, when I remember it just as a fishing port. In the middle of a small souk was a Wimpy joint, where I bought a burger and fries. Memories.

Well educated. You need to ask for this guy to be your guide ! We had Tarik all to ourselves for the whole event, and he showed us great care and attention throughout. Once we left the main road network and entered the desert sands, Tarik adjusted the tyre pressures and gave us a gentle (but exciting) sand dune ride to the ‘camel meeting point’. Great fun. This was not part of the package, but he gave us a taste. At the meeting point we were introduced to our camel ‘walker’. *I don’t like the use of the word ‘wrangler’ because it’s not in my English vocabulary.

Nice guy, good businessman ! We tipped the camel walker 20 Dirhams, the amount was respectable, apparently. Yes, we also tipped Tarik. He was awesome. What a fantastic night. We had not heard of this company before, but would use them again without hesitation… 100% Thank you Tarik.

Great Value for Money - Amazing Trip - What an experience! We were picked up by Iqbal at 2pm from our hotel and driven to an ATV/Dune Buggy place where we drove around for 30 minutes (this is something extra that needs paying for and is completely optional). We then drove to the desert and had a 45 minute camel ride which was amazing. I mentioned to Iqbal that I wanted to have a drink so whilst I was riding the camel, he drove off to get me a drink and served it to me whilst I was mid-camel ride!! After the camels we had a little picnic which consisted of arabic coffee, some donuts and some dates whilst watching the sunset. After that it was time for the dinner and show. All the food we wanted was included and as many soft drinks as we wanted. Food was amazing and there is absolutely no need to eat before! The show was ok. Overall a great experience and amazing value for money (at one point we thought we were on the wrong trip as it seemed like such good value!) Iqbal was a great guide and even on the drive to and from the city centre, he gave us lots of information about Dubai itself. Make sure you take AED in cash with you for tips at each point on the trip.

Holprig - The experience itself was exciting, but unfortunately a bit time consuming. We originally assumed a pick-up time at 3pm, but were then spontaneously informed that it was already starting at 1:30pm. Were picked up 30 minutes late, however. For some reason we drove almost 2 hours through the pampas, which would have taken us only 1 hour. Unfortunately, this whole mess ruined our day a bit. Nevertheless, the camel ride, the food and the performances were worth seeing. Better communication, then it works.
