Reviews
It was an amazing desert safari tour. The driver was experienced and helpful as he could speak English. He took some cool photos and videos of us. Unfortunately We couldn’t get a good quality scarf right before our trip but he took us to a shop on the road to the desert to get head scarfs. Everything that is stated is included which is a plus. I would definitely recommend! I can say one day wasn’t enough! You will love it!
It was an excellent and incredible experience in safari . We really enjoyed your friendly approach especially to my son and daughter.
Overall , everything from the beginning to end was outstanding and superb. Everything was on time & more than our expectations, really amazing . We will use your service again and definitely would recommend others .

Was a nice experience in Safari. The tour guide was so helpful and polite from the pick up time to drop off. Thank you Amir for the nice service, we really enjoyed your friendly approach especially to our son.
The best desert experience ever my family and friends had great time with Amar he is very knowledgeable and professional thanks to him he made our tour very interesting share stories....
Reckless driver. No one says a word, they didn’t give us sandboard. They try to sell absolutely everything, we paid 45 dirhams for a small ice cream between waiting 2 hours for the buffet. The transportation is really outdated. The only good thing about this was the fire show at night. You get what you pay honestly, expect cheap
Hi good evening team I would like to share my views regarding my today's journey with Rana Ali.Rana Ali was our Desert Safari guide he is amazing and friendly. He gives us a good company.shows and every thing is good specially Quad bike. I definitely recommend Mr Rana Ali as a Desert Safari guide.
Our tour guide Sunil was great! Super helpful and made sure we weren’t getting taken advantage of as tourists with price hikes. The experience was absolutely worth the money. Would definitely do again!
Brilliant experience. Khalifa, our companion was extremely helpful and empathetic. Must go with him if you get a chance.
The best Experience ever! Our guide was amazing, a crazy driver on the dunes, but nice and funny. We tried sandboarding, we did a tour with camels and drove quads. Something that everyone should try! I highly recommend to do this experience with them, they do their best to make you live an unforgettable experience. Thank you!
It was by chance that we discovered this company and I am very surprised to say, I have no regrets. Not just 5 stars, if I could give 10 stars I definitely would. Firstly, they were very quick to reply, I made an enquiry and a booking and managed to be on the way to the trip within 45 minutes of confirmation. The person who took us, his name was Rana Ali, highly recommended. Very polite and he was super punctual. He drove the car with extreme care, the journey was really smooth. Friendly person and also goes all out to accommodate our needs. Please, request for him on your next trip, and best of luck to Mr Rana Ali and this company as well. A very highly satisfied customer.
The desert Safari was a great experience. Our tour guide Hasan was friendly and made sure proper safety precautions were taken during the tour. Dune Bashing was fun. The Vehicle condition was up to expectation. Overall the tour package from “godubaidesertsafari” was value for money.
This Deserts ride was an unforgettable blessing in life. The driver was terrifically cooperative and the food and service superb.Everyone should go at least once and experience it, it was fabulous...
Best desert safari dubai with global desert safari food is really good so happy would like to visit again thank you for this wonderfull trip
Must get experience in Dubai for any traveler. But try it in winter as weather conditions are far better. Food, transport and events are good.
The driver from the appointment to the desert was very dangerous. He was continuously calling and texting on his phone, driving very fast and not respecting the sécurity distance. We were very closed to have an accident with a truck and I was really wondering for my life during the journey.
Once in the camp, we had to wait around 1 hour, and it was impossible to have any explanation from the driver (continuously saying "5 minutes"). The quad bikes were very slow and the area was really small. Many people were trying to sell many types of things, it was quite annoying. Moreover, to have what I consider as a standard service, you have to pay 50 AED to access the VIP area.
Something positive : the fire show was really nice ! The waiters were also very kind.

It was a disaster - its a tourist trap
You start at this tourist trap village in the desert where u have to be for 30mins and there are lots of guys offering u stuff for extra
Then u move to the place where it all happens, in the basic package u got only 2min camel ride in the circle, for more u have to pay extra. Again a lot of people offering stuff for extra cash. Sandboarding is just one board hidden somewhere in the back.
U have to wait 2hrs there for the meal and show, drinking water is warm, tea and coffee u have to make by yourself from hot water and teabag/instant coffee. Workers are quite rude. BBQ was average.
Only thing which was worth it was the dune bashing, that was excellent, fire show was nice too, but rest is really, really bad.

Place is good it’s nice to visit here in winter but it really hot in summer. Plus it’s good for family and group of friends to have some good time but do not expect a good food experiences here because food will be so bad. Not only here but any other desert place will be the same. Over all it was a nice experience for a day…!!
Excellent communication with the company and quick pick up. Felt like a VIP the whole time. Our outing for dune bashing and dinner at the fort was awesome. Staff will help you out to get other activities lined up such at the ATVs you can drive around. Would use again.
We had a very nice trip with Omar, he picked us from our apartment then dropped us to the safari rides… we have a nice experience with humble gentle man who was very patient with us even after we fell off the ride, he was very helpful to us and made us feel better. Omar gave us a beautiful experience riding us on the desert hills 👌🏽👌🏽It was very nice and he kept us enthusiastic 🤩 all throughout our trip.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to visit desert safari.👌🏽

This tour can achieve guinness record as worst safari ever.
The car dropped us was old and not comfortable.
The staff are not friendly
We reach the camp to find out we have to pay for everything, fine seating, camel riding which suppose to be free.
The shows was fine but belly dancing were cancelled without prior notice.
The food quality is bad even we paid extra for the vip area.
They will charge you for everything, the falcon guy asked 250aed for taking 5 photos. The problem he mentioned that after we took the photos already so we were forced to pay the amount.
Once we reach the buggy riding they asked us to pay 1000aed for the buggy, after we paid again they asked 100aed to give us new one which is an obvious scam. We asked for receipt but they said the don't give.
On our way back driver almost slept while driving.
This is my 11th safari trip and I can say it was the worst night ever.
Not recommend, no customer service, no value for money.

Riaz was an amazing host. Kept us up to date with pickup times. Was happy to chat with us about the local culture and told us lots of interesting facts while we were driving to the safari.
Before we went out in the dunes we got some ice cream rolls which were literally the best ice cream I’ve ever had. My wife and MIL got themselves headscarves as well at a reasonable price (30dirham)
The traders here were very respectful and if you weren’t interested they’d politely move on.
The sand was wet that day but think that was in our favour as it was fun but scary going up and down the dunes especially when it was sideways or steep drops.
I had a go at the sandboarding which was really funny. But also a terrible idea as Riaz had to come and save me when I couldn’t climb back up.
Riaz was really friendly and you could just have a chat to him. We’ve had some experiences before where the driver says nothing all day but Riaz was nothing like that. It really made the day.
Riaz made a point of helping us out with photo opportunities to make sure we remember our day
We then went for camel rides which were fun but I think I was more scared on them than we were on the dunes.
The camp entertainment and food was really good. (Note that it will cost 50 dirham each to upgrade to VIP) but you pretty much have to do this to enjoy the experience as you get nicer tables and better food choices. We’ll worth the money. Only let down by the persistent traders trying to flog their goods. We can appreciate them asking us once but when you say no it was a struggle to get rid of them or they’d come back later and ask again.
If it wasn’t for the persistent bothering we might have had a chance to look at the stalls and actually spend some money.
Overall well worth 5/5 stars. And if we come back again or friends do we’d recommend Riaz as the driver !!

We went on safari with Mr. Amir Khan, such a wonderful experience. He took us through all the adventures, helped us throughout the tour in tickets, food, shows. Very nice man and a true guide. We and another family enjoyed the whole trip to the fullest. He further guided us for rest of the days we have in the city. Overall a very good experience and enjoyable trip.
Our tour guide, Shahzaid was respectful, cool and helpful. He was punctual. He did not rush anyone during the trip and very understanding. Everyone feels safe, calm and relaxed during the trip. I definitely will go with just Global Desert Safari after this. Thank you very much!
For delay of 20 min they charged 50 AED extra which is no where mentioned in booking confirmation voucher nor when we contacted tour operator. Their tour guide blamed the country which is peaks of his stupidity. The food is awful. If they can't control the crowd... They better should arrange for small groups of customers on one day. The dune bashing was even less than 3 min because I argued him about the excess money. He is literally begging for extra money. I don't want to mention the country of tour guide. Because he doesn't have morals to judge about a country but not me. I suggest all the customers better don't go for desert safari with this company for peace of mind and to get happy memories.... Better book any other tour agency.
We booked our tour with Mr Bashir a couple of months before our trip. He patiently walked us through the itinerary, answered alol our questions and also provided some useful suggestions since we were travelling with kids. After finalising the itinerary, we finally arrived in Dubai.
The arrangements made by Mr Bashir (from the time we were picked up from the airport on arrival, till the time we were dropped back for our flight home), were impeccable. Everything was seamlessly done - the hotel arrangements, driver pick ups daily on time, and very informative and friendly drivers which were very helpful and guided us during our tour.
All in all, we’re very satisfied with the excellent service provided by Mr Bashir and his team. We highly recommend him & Travel Plan Dubai without any reservations.

This was my best desert safari trip. Thank you OMAR for this amazing trip. He is very kind and sweet person . He is the best driver. He took us to the sand dunes and his driving was really amazing .It was so much fun. We went to several places and did lot of activities, everything was awesome. We enjoyed a lot . I would highly recommend this desert safari and especially ask for OMAR.
Basheer is an amazing tour guide, we went with him on a Dubai city tour and he took us to the best spots around Dubai- especially around JBR & Palm. Basheer puts all of his heart and soul and showcases Dubai amazingly with the intellectual and fun facts of Dubai’s old culture and modernity. We thank you Basheer for showing us an amazing time in Dubai. We highly recommend Basheer to everyone coming into Dubai. BIG CHEERS TO BASHEER!
We booked a customized 8 hours day trip for our flight stopover in Dubai. Tour Operator was very responsive. They were flexible and understanding of our time schedule and prepared itinerary according to it. It all went perfectly well, from pick-up at the hotel and the tour around the City. Our tour guide, Mr. Ashraf was very knowledgeable and helpful too. Highly recommended.
