We booked a desert safari with Ivan on the Concierge Desk of the Anantara before we arrived (who by the way was wonderfully helpful). We decided on an afternoon departure with Royal Mirage. Our driver/guide Nasser was first class. The 4x4 comfortably took the 5 of us. We started with a visit to the Camel race track and saw some of the animals been exercised (we had no idea the track was so long or they didn’t have jockeys). Then it was on to the dune bashing which Nasser was an expert at. This involved stopping for some “sand boarding” which was enjoyed by all and the a further stop for some sunset photos. The next stop was quad biking (which was an extra paid at the venue but a real highlight for our 3 boys). Finally we had a stop for dinner in the desert where the food was surprisingly very good. The kids got henna tattoos, a ride on a camel and the show wasn’t bad at all. Definitely a must on a visit to Dubai and Royal Mirage/Nasser made it all the more enjoyable.
Had amazing experience.. enjoyed a lot with family.must visit this place if you are coming to Dubai.But one thing which we did not like the quality of food,that's really not up to the mark. And last but not the list our travel guide Shawn he was amazing. His extraordinary behavior and guidance is truly commendable
We had the joy of experiencing evening desert safari with Arabian Adventures. The company was top shelf. They treated us royally; and time and money spent were well worth it. On our 28th anniversary, we enjoyed the dune bashing, sunset, sand boarding, and evening of entertainment. It was the best 8 hours spent on totally fun activities. I can't say enough about Timothy our driver and guide. He was outstanding. He took interest in us and asked us interesting questions. He was also very responsive to our questions. He knew we were there on our anniversary, so he captured many of our moments taking some of the best pictures. If I have the occasion to vacation in Dubai again, I will make it a point to do an overnight safari, with the same company. They were top notch in everything they did
Just got back to the UK
Thanks to Tariq for setting this up, especially as everything was last minute
A real special thanks goes to our guide Ali.
He made the whole experience really fun, took us to great spots for pictures, showing off his true sand dune driving skills and great conversation.
The camel ride was fun and the quad biking (extra charge) was allot of fun. (note they had a separate track and smaller bikes for my 7 year old). There were 3 bikes small, medium for my 11/13 years old kids and adults which you can seat 2 people.
Love it and the tour guide Ali was prompt on pick up
Amazing trip! The dune buggies were crazy and much faster than we thought they would go. The guys there were great and activity of boarding also cool. The dune bashing was cool too in the car that took us there!
The evenings entertainment was brilliant too, lovely range of food and dancers were incredible. Can’t rate or rave enough about the whole experience, definitely recommend to all
