Absolutely unforgettable experience in the red sand desert!
I’m so thankful I found this adventure on Viator—hands down one of the best excursions I’ve ever booked. From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and full of unforgettable moments.
The day started with a punctual pickup right from the Marriott in downtown Dubai. Our driver arrived in a spotless and super comfortable Land Cruiser, and his communication was clear and friendly throughout the journey. We headed out toward the desert, where you had the option to upgrade to quad bikes and pick up some traditional desert attire—definitely worth it for the full experience!
There was plenty of cold water available, and the scenery alone was worth the trip—endless dunes and stunning views. Then came the dune bashing… and wow. Our driver was absolutely incredible, gliding over the dunes like a surfboard riding waves. It was thrilling, smooth, and so much fun! We even got to sandboard down the dunes and snap some epic photos with a majestic falcon—talk about bucket list material.
The evening was just as special. We arrived at a traditional-style desert camp where we were treated to a delicious dinner—juicy lamb kebabs and a variety of flavorful sides. The food was far better than I expected for a desert camp—authentic, fresh, and filling.
And the entertainment? Next level. Between the fire-breathing performance and the mesmerizing belly dancer, the atmosphere was electric. It was the perfect end to an epic day.
The whole experience was incredibly well-organized and worth every dirham. Whether you’re visiting Dubai for the first time or the tenth, this excursion is a must-do. Highly, highly recommend!
