Fantastic city and Safari Desert tour!
Marcella_T
, Dec 2020
I had a very short stay in Dubia, and I couldn't have made a better choice to see the beauty of Dubia and all it has to offer! We booked this tour with ABC tour through Viator. And everything else was stress free thereafter. We were picked up at our hotel in Dubai Marina on time in a nice clean comfortable air-conditioned tourist van with strick covid precautions. Our tour guide was a gentleman, I can't even remember his name (I think Iqbal)but he was wonderful. He had great patience, explained the history and the cultural of Dubai / UAE. In just 5 hours, we were able make stops to each land marks in the city and had the privilege to take pictures and buy souvenirs. The beach at Burj Al Arab, was so very beautiful with turquoise waters off the Arabian Gulf. Crossing the Deira creek on the abras was breathing. And we were able to picking up souvenirs along the way at the spice & golf Souk. Finally, at the end of our city tour, we were privileged by ABC tour who drop off at out hotel, this was sooooooo nice of them because we were able to showered, changed our clothes and was picked up in 45 minutes to go on the second part of this tour (5 hours), which was the Safari Desert for doon bashing, sand boarding, camel rides, the great tasting buffet and the shows. This combo tour was excellent. I am giving it 5 stars. It worth every dollar spent. The shows were fantastic, the fire eaters, belly dance, the bar B que was perfect. We captured the beautiful sunset in the desert 🏜 while listening to beautiful music. Everything and everyone were accommodating and at the same time, everyone implementing & practicing social distancing and covid precautions. We felt sooooooo very safe with both our tour guide. We had a fantastic day and evening. I truly recommend this tour if you have long layover flight or just few days in Dubai. Thank you so very much ABC tour, you guys are professional with great wonderful hearts. I love Dubai, I can't wait to go back with my daughter and for sure, I'm using your tour company ABC tour again..

cry tour was amazing our tour guide was fantastic he was very friendly helpful and knowledgeable. in a short space of time you got to see so many interesting places , desert safari and dune bashing was great fun however the Bedwin camp was a little bit of a let down i am sure the seas due to it being ramadan .. we were encouraged to take the vip seats at an extra £10 pp i wouldn't recommend this as it takes you away from the experience . highly recommend the trip x

Boring adventures

The sand dunes adventure is really boring . It’s not as expected. The driver is so unprofessional and the attitude is very rude and harsh. It’s very impolite. The food is average. And there is no sand boarding and hyena tatto as it’s promise. The tour is not recommended at all.

The review must be genuine so that your recommendations and review will be accepted by the readers. We would take this opportunity to explain the reality on a fabricated and baseless review. You booked for a Desert safari and Dubai tour where as the city tour you marked excellent. We understand and believe that it is a reaction of the “humby bumby” ride on the sand dunes which we call it as safari or roller coaster ride. It seems you put your anger turned as a fabricated review. You booked for the desert safari , we offer an option for the guest with heath issues to opt for the soft ride, which was ignored by you. ABC Tours Dubai is an ISO:9001:2008 quality certified company and we follow a honest and transparent policy so that all guest will offered what is booked. Imagine just for you if deprive the right of other tourist is not our policy. We offer more than what is being promised. Our messages were ignored. You booked on a sharing tour in the middle of the safari you cannot change the program. In the middle of the desert we cannot do alternative for just one person – Even a taxi is not possible ! You mention henna and sand boarding not available , this is an untrue and dishonest statement – The remaining reviews of this program will tell fact. The lady henna sitting at one of the highlighted area in the camp -how can you miss it ??? It seems you were unable to climb on the top of dune to do sand boarding – please note the sand boarding can only be done on slop not at a flat land.. if carry such expectations how someone can meet it. Regarding food you expected Chinese food in the middle of the desert is like drying the ocean with a match stick. It is painful that we ABC Tours – the only company that offer fresh farm cornfed chicken and the only camp that has les than 100 person for every evening. While rest of the camps less than ¼ of our size having more than 600 guest every evening. You got high-end services and quality with best hygiene standards you never understood its value. We feel you should have booked with the pricey safari companies who offer no safari (a transfer from the coach on the road to the camp for 5 minutes) and an overcrowded camp. Sorry this is not our standard, we leave the world to decide. We welcome everyone who accept our standards.

Absolutely great value for money. Our city tour guide Rafiq was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. Very accommodating with any reasonable request. The Safari went on a bit too long but it was still enjoyable. All the staff involved in this tour from morning til night time were helpful and polite. Highly recommended.

Great City Tour! Desert Safari was a blast! What a fantastic tour! Our driver, Asif, was excellent. He is highly skilled in the art of dune bashing--driving with safety and precision while also giving us the thrilling ride of a lifetime! We also appreciated his informative commentary on the interesting sites we passed on the way to the desert safari. The meal afterwards was delicious--so many tasty dishes to indulge in! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Dubai!
