Haroon was an absolutely fantastic tour guide for our desert safari adventure. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised. We enjoyed activities like quad biking, dune bashing, camel riding, and sandboarding—each one was such an exciting experience and we would definitely do it all again. Haroon made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and had plenty of fun throughout. The buffet dinner was delicious, and it was great to have free cold water provided during the trip, especially in the desert heat. The transportation to and from the hotel was smooth and punctual, which made the whole experience stress-free. Haroon’s knowledge, professionalism, and friendly attitude truly made this a memorable day for us. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai. It’s a 5-star experience all the way! Also, Haroon takes the best photos in the desert; made them look professional!

Excellent is an overrated word here. I loved everything about the trip. I want to also share my wonderful experience about our driver Munir, the he is not like any other tour guide you come across he is very considerate and makes your comfort his priority, he will never push services or other tourists traps onto you.
