5 star unforgettable tour! - Fantastic experience! I can only recommand it! Perfect service, very friendly people, excellent food and quality beds for the night… didn’t expect it would be so nice and impressive. Abdul Rasheed was extremely kind, helpful and devoted. Many interesting information were given to us and we left with stars in the eyes and joy in the heart!

Amazing experience - Farook our guide was excellent and the dune bashing was exciting! It was a great experience and the organization was perfect, definetly recommended!

Amazing overnight desert experience - The experience was really nice! Abdul Rasheed, our amazing guide, picked us up from the hotel, we then went dune bashing and visited a camel farm. The dune bashing was a lot of fun, and Abdul made sure that everyone was having fun and staying safe. We then arrived at the camp site where there were a lot of activities to do (sandboarding, henna, dressing up etc.). The BBQ dinner was delicious and the performances were really entertaining. We were the only two people staying overnight so we got a lot of extra attention from Abdul, he played cards with us, took us star gazing and then brought us to our tent. We woke up in time to see the sunrise, had a great breakfast and then back to Abu Dhabi.

One of the Best Activities of My Life - This was a life-changing experience I recommend everyone does. Everything flowed smoothly and I felt extremely safe and happy. After being picked up from the hotel in Abu Dhabi, we were immediately taken to the safari. We sped though the dunes (felt like a rollercoaster!), touched and rode a camel, raced through the desert on ATVs, ate a buffet with vegetarian options (which I was so thankful for), watched engaging performances, then slept overnight on a mattress in a spacious tent (dress warm if you decide to do this because it was very cold). We woke up to a beautiful sunset with the sounds of nature and ate a tasty breakfast. I was sad to leave but thankful that I have these memories with me for the rest of my life.

Amazing - We thoroughly enjoyed this overnight trip in the dessert. The dune bashing and boarding was fun, as was the brief camel ride and camel farm stop. The camp was lovely and the bbq dinner and breakfast much better than we expected - really good. However the icing on the cake was our brilliant guide, Abdul Rasheed, who went above and beyond to make sure we had the most enjoyable experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable and always there when you needed him. Fully recommend.

Amazing stay in the Desert and exiting activities - We are a family of five (all adults now) and we booked the experience with the night on the desert (did it on 2nd January 2024). Our guide Farook came to pick us up directly at our hotel and after a 45min of a pleasent and chatty drive we reached the desert. There we stopped a minute to adjust the wheel pressure and after that we were ready to do dune bashing. Then we stopped at a camel farm where we took pictures with lots of camels! Some of them where with children, so beautifull!! After we did some more dune bashing and stopped to take pictures on the dune with the sunset. Then we reached the beduin camp where we did the outdoor activity as sandboarding (amazing), camel riding (is just a short ride of a few minutes, mainly for kids or for a first time ride) and there was the possibili to do quaad bike on the sand with extra charge of 52 AED per person. The quaad ride was 15 min and was a mini circuit where you follow a guide, it was nice but not so adrenalinic due to the fact that you shoud follow the other partecipants). After we did the indoor activity such falcon photos, typical arabian dress photos, henna tattoo and shisha smoking. Then we had dinner, it was a buffet with amazing dishes (arabian food). After dinner in the middle of the camp did a ballerina, a belly dancer and an other dancer a show. After the show you have time to look at the stars and chill yourself with the indoor activity. After 8 pm everyone left the camp to go back, except for us that styed the night. After they cleaned everything, the fire was on and we had a pleasent evening with the company of our guide Farook that told us many things about the culture there and camels racings. We slept in a camping tend inside a beduin tent where they put matress, pillows and blankets. It was a bit cold at night but if you dress yourself well is enough to stay warm (minimum temperature 10 degree). In the morning we woke up at 6:45 am to see the sunrise just on the top of the dune outside the camp! After that they prepared us breakfast and arround 08:00 am we left the camp to go back to our hotel in Abu Dhabi. I really suggest you to do this tour! It was really amazing and our guide was really the best.

Unforgettable overnight experience in the desert - We enjoyed our overnight safari experience and Abdul Rasheed was an excellent guide. On our way to the camp, Abdul told us interesting facts about the city along the way. After arriving at the desert we started dune bashing which was loads of fun! There were many experiences around the camp we also enjoyed at our leisure including a short camel ride, sand boarding sand belly dancing show. Watching the sunset on top of a nearby sand dune was an unforgettable experience. The henna painters were also very talented and the BBQ buffet was delicious. Throughout the tour, Abdul was very helpful, kind and attentive to our needs. Thank you for the great experience!

Unforgettable adventure - We had the pleasure to enjoy a wonderful afternoon in the dunes and overnight stay at the camp. Our personal guide, Abdul Rasheed, was the best! As we were the only ones for the overnight stay in the camp, we had time for stargazing together and enjoyed great conversations. Abdul Rasheed made our adventure perfect, we really enjoyed it! Thanks a lot!

Overnight desert experience near Abu Dhabi - Really nice experience as described. Gives a taste of "desert life", while also offering various entertainment activities. The kids especially enjoyed the sand boarding! Many thanks to Mr. Abdul Rasheed for the comfortable support.

Forget about it if you want a guaranteed serene night. It was sleepless, loud and awful. - TL;DR: NO SLEEP due to noise. Regrets. A family member and I booked this stay during a once-in-a-lifetime vacation in Abu Dhabi. Their site promised the following: "Retreat to your cozy Bedouin-style tent for a night under the stars, serenaded by the gentle sounds of the desert." The day was OK. But when we wanted to sleep... a nearby camp (~300m away) started making an insane noise around 11pm. Picture trying to sleep in a tent, dead tired, when suddenly you start hearing extremely loud Arabic/Indian music and people driving quads crazily around *our* camp until 4am+! It was the UAE version of a rave party. We tried asking some staff for help but the reply was always "we cannot do anything". Some staff seemed to sleep in better "solid" houses, so they probably were much less affected by the noise. Imagine your neighbor starting his lawn mower at midnight right below your window. Even with earplugs, it was impossible to sleep. This ruined our experience and our memories of this vacation. The next morning, when we complained, the staff's reply was "not our fault". Still, although we strongly suspect that this was not a one-off occurrence (the staff was clearly uncomfortable when we asked about it), we might have been exceptionally unlucky. So, we asked for a partial refund, which is reasonable given the circumstances. Their reply was a run-of-the-mill apology and not a single cent. They used the ol' "we transferred your refund request" with no follow-up from management. We concluded the safari with a nasty taste in our mouth. Fun fact: we booked the stay directly on their website, so Emirates Tours & Safari LLC didn't have to pay Viator's cut. Not giving up a commercial gesture/partial refund is just petty. To sum up: forget about it if you want a guaranteed serene night. PS: unfortunately, it is not possible to upload videos on Tripadvisor. If needed, I can provide a video proving what I am saying.
