its one of those touristy things but you kinda have to do it when visiting. the dune bashing was definitely the highlight, with sandboarding and pics in the desert a must. our driver who picks you up from the hotel and take you through the dunes was very nice if a little quiet. the car is well appointed luxury suv, which has been supported with extra roll bars so it seems quite safe, though there were several car parts scattered in the desert so i'm sure things have happened out there.
everything else was fine if a little tourist trappy. just be aware that there a free things like the water, soda and dinner, but many are there to sell you extras like drinks, ice cream, pictures of you on the camels, pictures of a falcon, jewelry, etc.
its a fun experience, just go in informed.
