Reviews
Great experience. Nice and friendly tour guides and we had the whole desert to ourselves at night!
The driver was friendly. The tour was nice but noone really stays back at the camp. it's better to do an evening safari.
The equipment in the overnight camp is very simple. There is no bathing facility. Only the wash basin in the toilet is used to wash and wash your face. All other tourists leave after using the buffet and watching the show. Only I and I stayed overnight for a while. The tent sleeps, the lights are turned off at less than 9 o'clock, and only the flashlight is used to get this treatment at this charge. It really treats people as a big deal. No wonder no other tourists stay overnight to stay. Deceived, when I was a big fool, this kind of trip is outrageous! (The previous satisfaction score did not want to click even a star, but no point and no one sent this review).
Thank you for choosing Klook. Sorry to fail to provide you with a satisfactory travel experience.

Looking forward to your understanding and support.
The Desert safari was really a good experience the dunes and the heat! Our driver was really good and nice! He quite impress me with the skills he have in photography when he took a picture of me by my fone! Staying overnight is really exciting specially when i get a long with the people who is working there at the place! But the problem is the food! The buffet is quite not enough to every people who avail the desert dinner tour. Otherwise the tour is great
It was amazing experience. The staffs are friendly and helpful.
Great experience to stay overnight and watch sunset in the desert!
The driver is late than the scheduled time. It is very exciting when crossing the desert. It is a must-go project in Dubai.
The itinerary was very good. The driver and the camp staff were very kind. Although the weather could not see the beautiful starry sky and the date, it was a very good experience and definitely worth recommending!
Great experience. Dune bashing was exciting and a lot of fun. The night spent at the camp was cozy with good accommodation, yet don’t expect having a shower. Good for those who like nature and enjoy chatting with local staff. Almost no one stay overnight so you can have the entire camp. The only drawback is the dinner buffet is a bit terrible.
Is a nice experience of the desert safari
Good to know
- Book with a reputable operator - check reviews to avoid scams or overcrowded tours.
- Wear comfortable, breathable clothes lightweight cotton or linen, and bring a light jacket or shawl as desert evenings can get chilly.
- Footwear - closed shoes or sandals that can handle sand. Avoid heels.
- Bring a hat and sunglasses - for sun protection before sunset.
- Stay hydrated - drink plenty of water beforehand and during the safari.
- Dune bashing - hold on tight! It can get intense but is super thrilling. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take meds before.
- Photography -sunset in the desert is magical; charge your phone/camera fully and bring a portable charger.
- Cultural experiences - many tours include camel rides, henna painting, falconry shows, and traditional dances (like belly dancing and tanoura).
- Food & drinks - many offer BBQ dinners; check if vegetarian or special dietary options are available.
- Respect local customs - dress modestly especially in cultural areas or shows.
- Ask about pickup and drop-off times - some tours have strict schedules.
