Fraud Company- Not giving Refund
They did not take us on the tour and did not respond or pick any calls. Also after following their refund instructions their email bounced back and Mr. Boriak their manager and company owner Ahmed Bin Al Shaikh are not responding to refund request. Do not book with them. They are a fraud company. I’m approaching Duabi Police to help me get my money back

Do Not Book : Fraud Company: Not giving Refund
We had booked in April 2026 for 28th May 2026 safari tour and wanted to cancel our booking and get a refund but no one responded from their company and their email also is not working and bouncing back. Mr. Mohammed Boriak the manager said that they will refund but no one from their team contacted us Boraik then gave owner number of Ahmed Bin Al shaikh who also did not respond to the refund request and was very rude. It looks like they have no intention to refund the money. I have spent 3,000/- AED and now am scared i will never get the money back. Also the tour on 28th May did not happen and no one contacted us at all regarding the tour or the refund. I am now forced to go to Dubai Police for help and i hope they can help recover the money. Please do not book from this company because they are a fraud company. I was ready to pay a premium of 600/- per person thinking this a professional company and given their ratings on trip advisor i booked with them . I only hope i get back my money asap.

A good time in the desert.
We had an excellent desert safari experience, even while traveling with my pregnant wife, thanks to our driver Sayed. From the start, Sayed was very considerate, calm, and attentive to our situation. He made sure my wife was comfortable at all times and took great care of us throughout the day. While I joined the dune bashing, my wife stayed safely at the camp, which was well organized and comfortable. Sayed is a highly skilled driver, and the dune bashing was exciting yet felt safe and well controlled. The desert views were incredible, and the experience was unforgettable. The food at the camp was very good, and the show in the evening was enjoyable and well done. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would highly recommend both the safari and Sayed as a driver — especially if you are traveling with a pregnant partner or need extra care and consideration.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your detailed and thoughtful feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you had an excellent experience and that Sayed took such great care of you and your wife throughout the day. Your comfort and safety are always our top priority, and it’s wonderful to know the arrangements worked well, especially while traveling during pregnancy. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future for another memorable experience.

Amazing
We had the most incredible time on the 57 Dune Buggy & Heritage Dinner Safari – Private experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless and well organized. Our driver, Ali, was absolutely wonderful. He was not only very knowledgeable about Dubai and its culture, but also made the entire journey so enjoyable with his warm and friendly personality. Ali truly went above and beyond to make the experience special for us. He took the most amazing photos and made sure we captured beautiful memories throughout the safari. The dune buggy ride was thrilling, and the heritage dinner was such a lovely and authentic touch to end the evening. This experience gave us memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend, and if you get Ali as your driver, you’re in the best hands!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback. We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such an incredible and seamless experience from start to finish. It’s fantastic to know that Ali made your journey so special with his knowledge, warm personality, and attention to detail we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We’re glad you enjoyed the thrill of the dune buggy ride and the authentic heritage dinner to end the evening. Creating lasting memories is exactly what we aim for, and it means a lot to know we achieved that for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable experience.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $222 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 112 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience?
+
Around 39 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience?
+
Included: Private transportation; Dinner; All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Sandboards. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1160 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to 57 Dune Bashing + Heritage Desert Experience if the weather is bad?
+
