Dubai Full-Day Desert Safari Experience with Live BBQ Dinner

Our company booked the VIP package for safari and dinner. It was a horrible experience from start to finish. The day started in the afternoon with our drivers getting lost 4 times. We were dropped off at a staging area and left there for 45 minutes. The purpose of the staging area is to buy over priced head scarfs, camel rides and motor bike rides. Then we were off to the location of the safari. Our 30 minute dune bashing experience was under five minutes and basically a free for all. Many safari companies operate in the area and there were about a hundred vehicles zig zagging across the desert. The driver said there were accidents all the time. After the exhilarating 4 minutes of dune bashing, we arrived at the safari. It was the same as the pictures, except much more dilapidated. The food was incredibly bad. Bad selection and even worse quality. I can't stress enough how disgusting the food was. Half our group bought expensive popcorn just to fill their bellies. Free camel rides - as stated in the brochure except for the 45 minutes wait time. Paid camels no wait time. Free drinks - Not once did they come to serve us drinks and they ran out of water halfway through. They did, however, come to our table ever 5 minutes to try and sell us alcohol, shisha, toys and souvenirs. One of the servers tried to take my two cans of cola because he thought i was leaving the premises with it. Free shisha - You can have free shisha in a small, designated area in the corner. You have to pay for shisha at your own table. There were three adolescent kids that were beaten by 4 workers. Not sure why that happened. Shouldn't happen even if they deserved it. The pick up area at the end of the night was incredibly dangerous. Drivers from various companies were rushing to pick up patrons with no organization and at dangerously high speeds. If I had to guess, more than 75kms per hour through crowds of people. At the end of the night our company owner and his 3 year old daughter were almost hit by a driver coming to collect patrons. They tried to pack as many people into the vehicle as possible. We said we would only fit as many people in the vehicle as there were seatbelts as it is not legal to drive without them. The driver told us get out.

Horrible experience. Extremely rude staff and highly commercial. We were a group of 7 and had camel ride included in our package, out 7 only 4 of us wanted to do the camel ride and 3 didn’t. The 3 of us wanted to go and be seated but they didn’t allow us to get inside the tent stating we all have to enter together. So we had to stand outside for half an hour for the others to finish the camel ride before we could all be seated. Good was below average , bathrooms were dirty and overall experience was horrible.
