Scammers
This was the worst tour experience I’ve had in Dubai. I would strongly advise others to avoid this company. They advertised a shared desert safari at one price, but after I booked, they claimed there was no availability and pressured me to upgrade to a much more expensive private tour. However, when the so-called “private tour” arrived, there were other passengers in the vehicle, so it was not private at all. The customer service was rude and unprofessional. The vehicle was old, poorly maintained, and did not make me feel safe during the trip. Overall, the experience was very disappointing and far below what was promised. I was also surprised by the extremely high overall rating. After reading more carefully, I noticed a significant number of recent 1-star reviews describing experiences similar to mine. I encourage potential customers to read both the positive and negative reviews before making a decision. I would not recommend this company and would never book with them again. Essa versão é firme, transmite sua experiência de forma clara e reduz o risco de problemas por fazer acusações que exigiriam prova objetiva.

Scam, not recommended
False advertisement Bad Experience and rude drivers. Other staff stoped answering during conflicts. We booked a package that includes free 30min quad bikes. They first dropped us to a private quad bike company with additional charge, promising that we can still avail our free quad bikes in the camp site. But When we arrive at the camp site they still want to charge us additional payment for the quad bike. We paid more for this package but did not get what we paid for. Not recommended knowing this company is listed in Groupon.

Worst experience
@arabiankingtours_ first i called them a man called Ali or Adil i told him that i have groupon vouchers and asked if i can send my boys with them today he said groupon is not accepted today but he will give me the same offer which is ( VIP package) as groupon but i have to pay it directly to him in cash, and they will not be able to pick them so i have to drop them, the groupon vouchers shows Vip and the price was less than what he asked for , when we reached he didn’t have machine so i asked my husband transferred to his personal account 285 AED with 35 aed extra than what we agreed on, i called the man he said it’s ok i will give it to the boys when they are coming back, After that when it comes for bike time he told them that both of them will have only one bike i called him and he said if i want i can pay extra so i agreed again i payed the extra the 35 dhs which was already with him and i told him my main concern that my kids enjoy the night there , once they reach they waited for more than 2 hrs in the middle of the desert doing nothing just waiting for the bike I called him again and he said he will check and then he stopped answer i keep texting and calling but no answer, at that time i contacted one of the provided numbers in your website a lady answered and i explained for her whats happening and she said she will check and get back to me and no one called till now!! Although i sent her a whatsapp explaining with screenshots with my conversation then they finish the bike, when it comes for the food time as per the voucher we are going it called (VIP) so my son called me asking if they are vip i said yes then the man called me sayed no and the only difference is the waiter services but food is same so accepted that, Then the kids didn’t even could eat what they offered them as food was very bad, my kids asked to get food from outside as they couldn’t eat it described as ( even dogs wouldn’t eat it !!! And not even similar as he sayed as the went to VIP section and found big difference in food, but he kicked them out ????

Poor Service & Misleading VIP Package
I recently booked a desert safari with Arabian Kings Tour, and unfortunately the service was far below expectations. The pickup was delayed from the requested time, and to make matters worse, we were left alone waiting for our driver at the camp with no other guests and even the lights were turned off. We tried calling the driver and the guy he referred to us in the camp, but after we raised our complaint, he also disappeared inside the camp and did not assist us further. We were advised to contact the travel agency directly, but they said they could not do anything and were unable to help. Eventually, a new driver arrived, but the situation got worse when just just dropped us where our driver broke down his car in the middle of the desert. We were forced to wait there until it was fixed, which was both stressful and concerning. Communication from both the driver and the agency was unclear and unhelpful throughout, making the entire experience frustrating from start to finish. I would not recommend booking with them, especially considering we booked the VIP Desert Safari Package. The camp itself was in very poor condition, dirty, old, and poorly maintained. Additionally, most of the activities and services required extra payment. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Morning Desert Safari Dubai:Red Dunes Desert,Camel Ride,Sand Boarding (Private): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Morning Desert Safari Dubai:Red Dunes Desert,Camel Ride,Sand Boarding (Private) cost?
+
Prices start at AED 680 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 Morning Desert Safari Dubai:Red Dunes Desert,Camel Ride,Sand Boarding (Private) take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Morning Desert Safari Dubai:Red Dunes Desert,Camel Ride,Sand Boarding (Private) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 211 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 Morning Desert Safari Dubai:Red Dunes Desert,Camel Ride,Sand Boarding (Private)?
+
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 Morning Desert Safari Dubai:Red Dunes Desert,Camel Ride,Sand Boarding (Private) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Morning Desert Safari Dubai:Red Dunes Desert,Camel Ride,Sand Boarding (Private)?
+
Around 74 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Morning Desert Safari Dubai:Red Dunes Desert,Camel Ride,Sand Boarding (Private) 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.
