Lovely afternoon. Dune safari was excellent fun, with a great driver - Mohammed, who look after us. The bbq and show at the camp were well organised and entertaining. A short camel ride was included as well as soft drinks and sand boarding. Picked up from RAK at 3pm and back shortly after 9pm.
Great afternoon and evening

This tour has something for everyone. From thrill seeker to love of arts and culture. This tour has adventure: off-roading through the desert, dune bashing and dune buggy rides to camel rides, Arabic coffee and dates, a bar, buffet dinner and incredible middle eastern and fire dancers. If you do not like the dune bashing, you can stay at the camp or request a gentle safari ride. The dancers were incredible and so talented. Our driver Imran was so kind and generous with his time.
The camp is better than I expected but a bit rustic. Don't expect much from the buffet meal - you get fed but it's not the reason for going.
Areas of improvement:
1. better communication before the tour to confirm, etc..
2. Less waiting time after adventure rides and the show and dinner begin
Unforgettable trip

Thrilling afternoon in the desert

The desert sand, the dunes that we sadly bashed a few times, the sunset and the entertainment was thoroughly enjoyable. Nature at its best pulled out all the stops for us!
Our 4wd driver and guide Hidayaat, did promise a fun safari which he did deliver.
This was my second time although the last time was more than 10 years ago. I had forgotten what it was like. I could make it a hat trick just being out on the sands and the drive!
Fab afternoon !
Very good tour started at pick up...

Very good tour started at pick up 1500 finished at 2000 could have been an hour shorter as there was a lot of time hanging around the camp not doing much.
Camp was nice they have one camel you can walk a few paces on get another person to take pictures for you or you can buy from them at 75d each.
Beware, not for the faint hearted...

Absolutely fantastic afternoon/evening. We were picked up from the hotel on time and were escorted by the driver who also picked up some more people from another hotel to where we were going. We were met by lots of other 4X4's and formed a type of caravan so we were not alone. The afternoon consisted of going over the dunes int he 4X4's which was tremendous fun and watching the sunset before we headed off the to dinner. The camp was lovely and the entertainment was really good. Only downside was the food wasn't anything to write home about. There were lots of staff who were trying to sell you alcohol, sand bottled, shisha etc but no-one was pushy and we were able to politely say no.They stopped asking once you did.
All in all great value for money and if I ever went to RAK again I would definitely try and book this tour. This made our holiday.
Si te toca en la última fila de la camioneta no se ve nada

Si los 6 pasajeros de la camioneta pagamos lo mismo no puede ser que nos toque en el asiento de Hasta atrás A algunos que no se ve nada. Se deberían de cambiar los lugares a la mitad del safari en camioneta para que todos puedan disfrutar. No lo recomiendo sabiendo que no se preocupan por eso.

Tres bien organisé,très bon buffet, 3 beaux spectacles pendant le repas
Mais,trop touristique a mon gout avec les boutiques ;
de plus possibilité de faire du buggy ou quad : mais les tarifs sont chères.
Enfin,le chauffeur qu'on a eu n'était vraiment pas sympa, il nous a bien fait ressentir qu'il faisait juste son travail.
Cest dommage.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
