ATV ride through the desert- TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT
I'm in the Emirates for the second time. The first one didn't get to go to the desert. This time we decided to go, as they were staying at the Ras Al Khaimah Hotel, and the drive to the desert is only 15 minutes. For a very long time they chose companies that could organize us to ride in the desert precisely on ATVs without riding in jeeps. In the end, no one wanted to change the program and even when asked if it was possible to stay in the Bedouin village and not drive in jeeps, the answer was NO. To be clear, the jeeps didn't want to go because we suffer from motion sickness. The tour was bought from AL Saqr at the MARJAN ISLAND Hotel from Svetlana. Explained that we take it with quad bikes, this excursion cost 100 dollars (2) more than normal with jeeps only. Total $170 for two. About the tour: We were followed by a Toyota car, which already had 5 people, 4 adults and one very small child (apparently breastfed)+driver+us two. For 20 minutes they drove to the Bedouin village. A guy met us there, gave us a briefing and said we should wait for the ATVs and go camel riding in the meantime. Said to come back in 20 minutes and we'll go. We walked over and he said we were going to go in jeeps and later on ATVs. And it did. After the jeep ride, we returned to the village. They gave us helmets and told us which ATV to get on. It was dark enough outside. There is no lighting in the desert, naturally. We began our journey in the darkness, sand flying in our faces. The only pointer was the instructor's little flashing light. NO PHOTO STOPS WERE MADE! NONE! I saw nothing at all because of the darkness and sand. What was the point of this skating I still can't understand. When they returned to the village, they asked the other tourists how the skiing went with them. They said they had buggies and ATVs at first, and then they had Jeeps. And they saw everything before dark and there were stops for photos at sunset. In this case, $100 wasted. At the end of the program there was dinner, a show and belly dancing. No pretensions, beautiful. The food is just normal. OUTCOME: If you're riding like I am for ATVs and you want to drive through the desert yourself, then keep in mind that there may be a situation like ours. If it's just a Jeep, take it. Ktsy, rocking a lot. The pair in the back seats were very sick. In our case, I think it would be fair to return $100.

It's great.
Holidaying in the UAE in mid-September and near the hotel noticed @al_saqr_travel First they took a $30 desert safari, got wildly excited, and then they went... After the safari, they took a tour of Dubai with a seaside walk and climb to the view Dubai, drove through the boys for a "la perle" show, and also visited IMG worlds. It is worth noting that prices are often even lower than buying themselves on official websites. And if you consider that the price immediately includes transfers from and to Ajman - so great. Safari and Dubai review - masthew tours for first-time visitors to the UAE, this is very cool. Spending jeeps in the desert will give you a boost of adrenaline, you can ride on the board and then meet a beautiful sunset and drive off to a Bedouin village for an evening show and have dinner, all included in 30 bucks. I think the price is a gift. A tour of Dubai is just as impressive. The views are fascinating. Anyway, thank you guys for Success and Prosperity! When we're in the UAE, we'll get back to you again.
Response from the operator: Dear, Thank you for giving us a perfect rating and for writing details on your experience. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Take care!

Super vivid experiences(Dubai, safari , water park!)
I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to manager Voosal! He helped us pick up interesting tours, which we were absolutely thrilled about! Guys are close to the hotel RAMADA beach Ajman, if you leave the hotel turn left , literally a couple of steps and you are in place, opposite the traffic light. My husband and I took excursions such as: Dubai (familiarity with the city, sights, life in the UAE, mentality), our guide Daria is just a wonderful girl, answered all the questions, knows information and knows how to submit it competently, we sat and couldn't listen ) now I myself tell in Daria's words everything I heard about the UAE and Dubai on this tour)) just like we had a climb to the top of the tallest building IN THE WORLD - Burj Khalifa! Emotions can't be described, it's like seeing the whole city, watching the singing fountains, and the beauty of Dubai! 😍 further we had dinner and a walk through Dubai Marina (the most fashionable area of Dubai) by ship, it was evening time, and the whole Dubai Marina was glowing with lights, romantic and very beautiful!!!! ❤️ Also we visited safari on the advice of Vusal! If you're in the UAE, not going to the desert is sacrilege! Emotions were pounding over the edge, jeeps were rolling us through the desert windows, there was a sunset stop, we saw a camel eating camel thorns, took bomb photos! After this photo shoot we were invited to a cultural event at the camp))) there were oriental dances, fire shows, beautiful delicious food and hookah )))) and lastly, we went to the coolest water park ATLANTIS))) slides there what is called ooooh very scary, thrill lovers all there !! Apart from the water park we got to the grand oceanarium, fish you want, bright colorful, the scale is astounding. I've never seen such beauty before. Thanks to Voosal for coordinating our activities, advising on cool excursions, brightening up our holidays in the UAE with emotion and experience! Thanks to Darya for the inquisitive facts, for the cool communication and radiance. You guys are cool, I wish you continued development, go ahead!!!! EVERYONE TAKE TOURS HERE!!!!😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Thank You
Really impressed with the entire experience. Had a lot of fun touring around Dubai’s deserts on a quad bike. Moreover, the dune bashing was also a lot of fun where the driver stopped at perfect spots to click a few pics. The food too was really delicious.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We will share this with the team to let them know to keep up the amazing work.

Like someone in the family...
Our tour company from Turkey didn’t make any extras.With a 3-day tour package that took over all of Dubai at a very good price, we got us owned just next to our hotel, like Al Saqr tour company and one of the Azerbaijani Vusal brains families.Our safari tour was the most memorable. Mr. Vusal, endless thanks to our guide, Alina...
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review and we are glad to hear from you. We are here to serve you and guide you, to have the best holiday experiences. Thank you once again for your time.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
DESERT SAFARI Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does DESERT SAFARI Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $159 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 Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 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 Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride?
+
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 Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book DESERT SAFARI Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride?
+
Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does DESERT SAFARI Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride 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 DESERT SAFARI Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride?
+
Included: Pick-up. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does DESERT SAFARI Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 29 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is DESERT SAFARI Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride offered in?
+
It is offered in Hindi, Korean and 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 DESERT SAFARI Drive | QUAD BIKE Ride?
+
