We had a great tour with Khat Tourism. Rasheed was our private guide and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The car arrived at our hotel with car seats for our 2 year old and 4 year old. Rasheed was helpful with the kids and took photos for us at each of the stops so we could have nice family photos.
He picked us up at our hotel in Dubai, drove us out to the desert where we had the option to ride quads. Not young child friendly, but there was a small playground that our kids were able to play at, which was perfect. We then went into the dunes for light kid friendly dune bashing. We stopped and had time for sand boarding, photos, and a man came by on an ATV with a falcon for photos.
We then went to the BBQ place where we were able to ride camels. It was a short ride - think petting zoo pony ride but with camels instead. However it was included and we were able to ride multiple times. My kids loved it.
Following the camels there was a big bbq with some shows. There were whirling dervishes, fire dancers, and a belly dancer. The food was ok, one thing I really didn’t like was that there were a bunch of vendors there hounding you to buy their souvenirs while you’re eating.
Note: all of the tour companies go to the same types of bbq and camel places. The dinner and show isn’t specific to the tour company that you book.
