Safari tour
It was a beautiful experience and FARIHA made my experience beautiful. She guided me through the available tours matching my budget. I loved all my experience and will definitely do more.

Awful customer service
Terrible customer service. When booking originally in December 2025 communication was regular. Was assured that the tour could be changed/cancelled up to 24 hours prior to tour date. Once booked, communication ceased, I initially wanted to change the date (eventually completed after 8 weeks) and finally need to cancel due to the ongoing situation in the UAE. I had contacted them through every possible channel and each time I have been completely ignored. No refund or alternative offered. I would not recommend booking with this company.

Dubai Tours made easy, simple, and memorable with Rayna Tours
This was a large group of family and friends. Rayna Tours made everything look easy and simple to handle such a big group of travellers. Especially Sarah Ahmedji and Manager Nikhil were super helpful with their attention to detail. We managed to do a lot in a short time. From the New Year Eve fireworks, to the City Tours and Desert Safari. Cant wait to visit again.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience! We are truly delighted to hear that our services exceeded your expectations. Your kind words and encouragement mean a great deal to our entire team. We look forward to welcoming you back and being part of your future travel adventures. Until then, feel free to explore more with us via our website or through your travel agent. Warm regards, Team Rayna

Fun sis trip
I had a great experience on the tour. It was for seven days. The total fee for it was about 4000 dirhams. The tour guide for the Dubai city tour did an amazing job at explaining. The crowd size was a small, thankfully, allowing us to have a more personalized experience. The entire process was easy and we were well taken care of.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, At the outset, we would like to thank you for choosing us as your service provider and are glad to learn that we were able to meet your expectations in service delivery. We are happy to hear also that our colleagues, were able to delight you so well. Rest assured your compliments to them will be shared as this will certainly motivate them to keep up the good work. We hope to be of service again to you and your family in the near future. Warm regards, Team Rayna

Good value
Going on a group tour for the first time in years confimed why I prefer private tours that permit you to set your own schedule. This tour operator did his best to keep a tight schedule and provided sufficient time at the stops and also gave good information and tips of what to explore on your own. The cruise was interesting with its impressive skyline and the light display. The desert Safari, definitely not to be repeated for this 80 year old with physical issues. Overall good value for the expense.
Response from the operator: Dear Valuable Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. It is our aim to make our guests feel pleasant and we are happy that you recognize our effort. Our whole team strives to deliver the best level of service and provide a maximum level of comfort to our guests. Therefore, we are truly delighted to receive your remarkable feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another memorable visit. Warm regards, Guest Experience Team

Desert Safari, City Tour & Dhow Cruise in Marina Enjoy In Dubai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Desert Safari, City Tour & Dhow Cruise in Marina Enjoy In Dubai cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Desert Safari, City Tour & Dhow Cruise in Marina Enjoy In Dubai take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Desert Safari, City Tour & Dhow Cruise in Marina Enjoy In Dubai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 322 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 Desert Safari, City Tour & Dhow Cruise in Marina Enjoy In Dubai?
+
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 Desert Safari, City Tour & Dhow Cruise in Marina Enjoy In Dubai suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Desert Safari, City Tour & Dhow Cruise in Marina Enjoy In Dubai?
+
Around 113 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Desert Safari, City Tour & Dhow Cruise in Marina Enjoy In Dubai 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 Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. 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.
