Waiting 1 hour, Left at Hotel, No refund, Did exactly what we were told to do.

Let me tell you in great detail my experience with Alpha Tours. First of all, my friend and I were on a 20-hour Emirates layover and thought it would be nice to go on a desert safari tour. We found Alpha Desert Safari Tours, they had decent ratings, so we booked them. They sent us an email which told us to wait in the lobby of our hotel and someone would pick us up between 3 and 3:30pm and asked what our preferred method of communication was, which I responded email. So naturally at 2:50pm I was waiting in the hotel lobby for somebody associated with alpha tours to show up. When it got to 3:30 and I had not seen anybody in the lobby looking for us or asking us if we were waiting on the Alpha Safari Tour, I assumed that they were running a little late and we were okay with that, although we were getting anxious and continued to wait at the very front of the lobby. At 4pm when I hadn’t seen anyone, received an email, or heard our names announced, I asked the concierge to call the office number for me. When I spoke to the Alpha Safari front office, they said that their driver was Mohammed Salin and he was indeed at the hotel. They said he left a message with the cashier and called my hotel room. This made no sense to me because first off we were told to wait IN THE LOBBY and secondly I indicated email as my preferred form of communication and I was constantly checking for an email from them while I was in the lobby. But most surprising was why the driver had not said anything to us while we were there. We were the two guys staring at the door waiting for anyone who was looking for someone for OVER AN HOUR! When speaking to the Alpha Desert Safari I let them know exactly what had happened, and the first thing the man on the phone said was that we were not there, which was in fact a lie. We were in the front of the lobby the whole time because we didn’t want to accidentally miss our trip, which is ironic. Then he told us he called our rooms, which I had to remind him of our instructions to let him know that it did not make sense. He then tried to blame the front desk for not working with their company which was also a lie, the man running the concierge was the most helpful person to me in the situation and even defended Alpha Tours. Despite me explaining to him that we were leaving at 3am that very night the only thing he offered was to let us on tomorrows tour which was 12 hours after our flight leaves Dubai. We asked if they could simply send another driver and they refused. This was a waste of a lot of money that I will never see again. While at the Copthorne Hotel I saw they had their own Desert Safari Tour Company that very distinctively dressed. If I could do it again, I would take my business to these people. I am sure they are better at their jobs than these people.

As with all the tours we booked, we...

<p>As with all the tours we booked, we were picked up on time by a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4, it took approximately 45 minutes to our destination the sand dunes, we waited until all 4x4 arrived about 17in total, we then spent about 30 minutes racing around the dunes in convoy, which was great fun and very exiting. We were then taken to the nearby desert camp where we experienced a nice meal with free soft drinks and entertainment, to be returned safely to our hotel.<br/> The Dhow dinner cruise was a pleasant experience the following evening, which included transport to and from the Dubai Creek and a river cruise with a good dinner and free soft drinks, as we noticed everywhere,alcohol is very expensive in Dubai.<br/> On this holiday we planned and booked 5 trips with Viator in 3 different countries, all were value for money, we were picked up on time on each occasion, planning and booking ahead certainly takes the hassle and stress out of the holiday, and I suspect to is cheaper than waiting until you reach your destination. I will use Viator again in the future.</p>

<p>This was a great experience. Just a warning, it's a bit of a car ride out to the desert site. Be prepared for an hour or more drive - once you finally get there, it's a lot of fun. </p> <p>The dinner was very nice, but again, a warning, the boat cruises the creek, not the bay. If you're looking for amazing city views, then you are in the wrong part of the city! Still, it was a nice night out and the food was very good.</p>

Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.

How much does Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise cost?

+

Prices start at $108 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 Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise 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 Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 37 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 Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise?

+

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 Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise 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 7-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise?

+

Around 13 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 Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise 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 Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise?

+

Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off on both Desert Camp Experience and Dhow Dinner Cruise; Dinner; Unlimited soda and water on both tours; and Camel ride, henna tattoo, shisha pipe, belly-dancing show and dune bashing on Desert Camp. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase on both tours). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 5 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.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise?

+

Is Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+

The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

What happens to Dubai Super Saver: Desert Camp Experience by 4x4 and Dhow Dinner Cruise if the weather is bad?

+

This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
