Best tour and especially tour guide ever - We did a desert tour near Dubai that included a visit to a Bedouin camp, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was well planned, the setting felt authentic, and the whole experience was just really special.
Our guide, Babar was amazing — super friendly, relaxed, and made everyone feel welcome from the start. You could tell he genuinely cared and loved sharing the culture with us.
Would absolutely recommend.

Unforgettable Desert Safari Experience – Thanks to Babar! - We had an incredible time on our recent desert safari in Dubai, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Babar. From the moment the tour started, it was clear that Babar is not only knowledgeable, but truly passionate about what he does. He went out of his way to make sure each guest felt welcomed, comfortable, and catered to.
Babar has a great eye for reading the group and tailoring the experience to match everyone’s interests and comfort levels. He was always checking in with us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, and his enthusiasm—especially when introducing us to the animals—was contagious. You can really tell he loves what he does, and it adds so much to the experience.
The camp activities were fun and well-organized, from dune driving and camel riding to the evening entertainment. Everything felt authentic and immersive, without being rushed.
We left the desert with amazing memories and a deep appreciation for the culture, thanks to Babar’s insight and hospitality. Highly recommend this tour—and if you can, request Babar as your guide!

Breathtaking desert - We were a little cautious at first: this is our first visit to Dubai, and desert sounds like a bot very welcoming place, but as soon as we were picked up our concerns were blown away. We were in a small group of 4 people, our guide Lucky transported us to the AlMarmoom desert in a comfortable jeep. He told us everything we needed to know about the trip, and as soon as we arrived the adventure started. We were welcomed by the staff, they suggested water and drinks to us, and we went to see the camels. I would never imagine that riding a camel is such an amazing experience. They are for sure the ships of the desert, and riding a camel is a very fun activity. We even got to feed baby camels, and they were adorable! Then we were suggested traditionally brewed tea and coffee that were prepared on a fire in the sand, which surprisingly was very refreshing. After that, Lucky took us to a ride in vintage Mercedes safari cars. He told us everything about the desert and it's inhabitants. We saw lizards, gazelles and flamingoes, drove through sand mountains, and then stopped on one to take breathtaking photos. Lucky made us a few amazing shots with a desert perspective! Then we were taken to see traditional falcon hunting. I have never seen a falcon this close to me, nor have I seen these majestic birds hunt. After such a trip, we were hungry, and when we arrived at the camp, a heartwarming, generous and tasty dinner was waiting for us. The food was exceptional, it was enough to feed 8 people, I was almost sad that I couldn't eat more. The day ended with a fascinating fire show. The tricks that were performed could blow my mind.
Thank you very much for that experience, and special thanks to our guide Lucky, who was with us the whole time, told us everything and made sure we would embark on an unforgettable adventure!
