Helpful? Yes
We did the overnight tour, which was worth the price. The tour was only in English, so we had to use a translator. It was a bit fast-paced, and it would’ve been nice to know the schedule in advance. Some people brought their own Arabian clothes, so offering rentals would be a great idea. The food was tasty and plentiful. The breakfast had extra naan, so it might be better to serve it only to those who want more. A separate shower would’ve been better than one in the toilet area. The staff, including the driver and falconer, were very attentive.
Helpful? Yes
Our expectations were high, and the first guide was punctual and friendly. After a stop for additional activities, we waited for another family (+- 30 minutes). We were then switched to a new guide who drove us through the dunes. While fun at first, the guide became distracted by his phone. We tried sandboarding and then returned to the camp. The camp was great, but the guide gave brief info before leaving. We enjoyed activities, dinner, and stargazing with a fantastic guide. We spent the rest of the night by the bonfire, watching fireworks for New Year's Eve.
Helpful? Yes
The experience was unique and really enjoyable! The dune bashing was amazing. There was an optional stop for buggies/quad bikes, and we decided to go for the buggy, which saved us 850 dirhams, but it wasn't worth it—the activities included in the tour were much better. The breakfast was absolutely the best!
Helpful? Yes
Our driver and guide, Imran, was fantastic. The Bundu Bashing was an incredible experience, especially with the perfect music! I would have given the activity a full rating, but I had to pack light for a two-week holiday since large luggage isn't allowed. Only a small bag was permitted, which was inconvenient. Perhaps this is why the overnight stay isn't as popular—what do you do with your luggage? I had to ask my hotel to store it. Maybe offering a five-seater car for overnight guests could allow small suitcases to be brought along.
Helpful? Yes
The journey to the camp was fantastic, traveling directly through the desert. The camp had everything we needed, and there were plenty of activities available to enjoy as much as we wanted. If you're a fan of Arabic food, you'll be pleased. We also got back to the hotel on time in the morning, allowing us to relax for a bit before continuing with our day. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Everything went well until bedtime. There was no air conditioning as promised, and the staff were having a party that lasted into the early hours, which kept us awake. On a positive note, the food was excellent.

The program was great, but it felt a bit too short. It would have been nice to have more time to relax and fully take in the experience.

The guide was very good. The entire staff was very friendly and always tried to ensure a successful outcome. A small disappointment was that the camp and the surrounding areas still gave off too much light so that the stars could not be observed very well.

The activity was fantastic. The desert was stunning, and there were plenty of options for entertainment and photo opportunities. I enjoyed the stargazing with the telescope, though light pollution was an issue compared to places like Morocco. The coordination of pick-up times could be improved, as I received conflicting information. Sandboarding was fun, but the landing can be tough on your body, and more guidance is needed. Unfortunately, I injured my back, and there was no first aid or ice packs available, which prevented me from joining other activities.

It would have been great if the camp had umbrellas available for guests during unexpected rain showers in the desert, although I understand it’s a rare occurrence. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this activity to anyone!

We had a fantastic experience with our thoughtful and attentive guide, Ramzan. A big thank you to him! The camp itself is a great spot, well-maintained, and organized. The food was delicious and of excellent quality. However, I believe two improvements are essential: it would be wonderful to watch both the sunset and sunrise from the dunes rather than from the camp, where the scenery is less impressive.

The activity itself was great, but I’m deducting one star because they consider eggs as vegetarian, which I believe is incorrect. I would kindly ask that they classify eggs as non-vegetarian in the future. Thank you!

The air conditioning in the tent was quite loud and didn’t work as well as expected. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you for a great experience!

Excellent value for the price. While a few activities come with extra charges, the overall experience was fantastic. The itinerary was well-organized. However, I did attend this trip with my young children, aged 3 and 5, and they had to sleep on the floor sofas for over an hour while we waited for the beds to be prepared.

The activity itself was enjoyable, but in my opinion, the overnight stay could be skipped. The tent was spacious and comfortable, but the air conditioning was quite loud. Additionally, the camp is situated along the flight path from Dubai airport, so the constant noise from passing planes meant there was no real desert silence. Considering the extra cost for the night, it might not be entirely worth it, unless you're interested in the camel ride at sunrise. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I'd definitely repeat it, just without the overnight stay.

It was an amazing adventure! The overnight trip was fantastic, with plenty of attention to detail and an abundance of food.
Helpful? Yes
The experience was good overall. However, some activities felt a bit rushed, like the 10-minute sandboarding or the 5-minute camel ride. It does feel quite commercialized. On a positive note, our guide was excellent, the campsite was spotless, and the food was delicious. One downside, if you're coming for stargazing, is that the camp is located quite close to Dubai, so there's a lot of light pollution, which makes the stargazing experience less impressive.

If it's your first time in the desert, this experience is fine. However, having visited the desert before, I found it less authentic. Our guide, Tehseen, was fantastic and shared a lot of insights about desert life and daily life in the Emirates. A big thank you to him.
Helpful? Yes
It was a packed day, with activities flowing one after another, some a bit too fast. The atmosphere was excellent, and the desert offered a refreshing change of scenery.
Helpful? Yes
The dune bashing with our guide was exceptional, and the quad biking and buggy rides which were an extra cost were fantastic. The evening show, dinner, and henna tattoos were also enjoyable. However, the night spent in the tent was a bit underwhelming.
