First time in Dubai from New Zealand 🇳🇿Had such an amazing experience with our tour guide Sadam Khan! He made sure our experience was going to be like none other. He constantly made sure we were well and comfortable. He was very engaging and kind hearted. Sadam Khan clearly has a wealth of experience with these tours. If possible I would try to book with him as your guide, as just for one example: He knows everyone on the excursions and made sure we had the best deals! What a guy. At no point did we feel unsafe or had an awkward moment. He is a pro at dune bashing, and I managed to get great music for my own playlist thanks to him. YOU MUST TRY THIS TOUR! YOU WILL NOT REGRET! - Gordon & Fawziya

An extraordinary experience 🥰🥰! My most anticipated desert 🐪 trip in Dubai has finally begun 🎉! The itinerary 😜! The guide picked us up promptly in the hotel lobby and drove us directly to the desert! After arriving in the desert, my friend immediately decided to join the 4WD adventure, racing through the sands. The other companions made sand bottle souvenirs. After 30 minutes, things got even more exciting as we rode in a four-wheel drive vehicle, speeding over the desert dunes. Everyone was thrilled, although one person vomited several times. Afterwards, we watched the sunset over the dunes and even participated in sandboarding, which was so much fun. Then, we went to the camp for a BBQ dinner. The quality of the dinner food was good, with salad, chicken, and lamb curry that tasted great, plus unlimited soft drinks. There were also fantastic performances. Everyone was satisfied. The best part was the camel riding, experiencing a stroll in the desert. Afterwards, everyone returned to the hotel, tired but happy. Finally, a thumbs up to the guide, because in addition to his excellent driving skills, he was very attentive and followed up on every detail! His attentiveness ensured we all had a great experience. Plus, booking this desert trip for a day with Klook was simply great value for the price! 😍😍😍

My overnight tour at Alkhayma Camp was an unforgettable desert escape. Guided by the warm and knowledgeable Mr.Imran, we kicked off with thrilling sandboarding down golden dunes. The camp was beautifully set up, with majestic horses and a stunning fire dance performance that lit up the night. As stars filled the sky, Mr.Hkeen, the passionate astronomer, led us through a magical stargazing session that made the universe feel close and alive. Mr.Moustafa took great care of us with tasty late-night snacks and a hearty breakfast the next morning. The sleeping arrangements were impressively clean and comfortable—fresh linens, air conditioning, shower and charging outlets made it easy to rest. At dawn, we rode camels through the quiet desert to watch the sunrise, a peaceful and surreal moment I’ll never forget. The camp offered more than just activities—it gave me a deep sense of connection to nature, culture, and the people who made it all so special with very reasonable price.
