About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- aja9210 contributionsThe best to see with FaisalThis was by far one of the best tours I’ve been on during my travels. I can’t give Faisal enough praise for the time we spent together. He was informative, interactive, thoughtful and all around helpful. From no lines at burj khalifa to a private boat ride it was an amazing tour. All the way from the morning to the evening he gave me the history, the ins and outs of Dubai as well as seeing first hand from the new to old Dubai. While being there I was able to beat the crowds, get exclusive access and make great deals in the souk. Faisal is the man for all your needs and even better with showing you the real Dubai. 💯100/10 starsWritten 1 December 2024
- erickW7207GC0 contributionsFantastic diversity of activities with a great guideThis is a great way to see a different place outside Dubai. It’s made for everyone. Our friendly guide elevated our whole desert/Dubai experience. We loved the variaty of activities and great conversations. It was much fun and I’d recommend this tour to everyone! Javeed, our great guide, We hope to meet you again one day. List of activities: Dune bashing - sand boarding - camelback riding - tea/coffee drinking - museum - stargazing and BBQ Extra remark: We felt very relaxed in the car because of the safe and experienced driving of our guide.Written 1 December 2024
- P2562HYlisam0 contributionsThe perfect week in Dubai with Haroon !We spent a perfect week in Dubai with, the best Orient Tour’s driver: Haroon. He is so kind, so patient, so flexible, so smiling, so available, so punctual, so helpful in the car… What’s more, he gave us a lot of super interesting explanations about the city and he showed us a lot of things during our different journeys so thank you so much Haroon! The best driver in town for sure!!Written 1 December 2024

- C6778NGdanieln0 contributionsTrip to desert safariExcellent driver by all standards, nice guy, will love to go no another tour with him. He is very careful on the road and does not go beyond speed limits. He takes safety very serious as well.Written 27 November 2024
- raghav d0 contributionsBeautiful experience at the 148th floor premium silver ticket.Beautiful experience first you go to 148th floor see the view in the balcony then come inside at the lounge where you are served with the coffee,juice, cookie and dates. One can sit relax enjoy the view and then take an elevator to the 125th floor where the non vip guests are present. There are too many people and the view is almost the same. So rather than spending time at 125th one can just enjoy the breadth taking view at 148th. Soon after you are done with the views one can head down stairs at the 124th floor where you can take an elevator to the ground floor. The best part of buying premium tickets to 148th floor is that you skip the long que at the ticket counter, the elevator entry counter then at 124th floor elevators que to the ground all in. All in all we saved at least an hour in long standing ques and enjoyed an emersive experience at the lounge at 148th floor with less hustle and bustle.Written 26 November 2024

- juliananasciutti0 contributionsMust do Desert Ride in Dubai!The experience was amazing! The communication was easy and effective all time, I had a few questions as I was travelling with an infant, a young kid and a senior. They picked us up at our hotel 8am ontime! Very patience to take all the pictures, super nice guide! He was a great photographer too! They have water and soda included for the guests. He also helped to negotiate prices at the shop we stoped for a bio break. If you want to take the picture with the Falcon be sure you negotiate the price before, they say US$5 at first but then when all is done he said “no, it was per person!”. Luckly our guide noticed that and helped us to pay a reasonable price. The only “but” is that we could not do the sandboarding because was hot and the sand was not sliding. A little disappointed becase if they know that they should not sell it for the morning ride. Overall we really enjoyed it! Highly recommended!Written 25 November 2024
- lizaa7010 contributionsI want to write about my experience in desert safari.WHAT A DAY!!What an experience! Before booking the Desert Safari package, I had seen the incredible reviews and still had in the back of my mind that it couldn’t have been really that great. Well in this case, I am happy to be wrong! Masuood , our tour guide for the day, was professional, fun, easy to have a conversation with and was knowledgeable about the area. He greeted us in our hotel and ensured we had everything we needed.After that the dune bashing (they’re not light on the bashing!) was a blast! Some scary fun moments, a few adrenaline filled screams later and we ended up at our photo stop and sandboarding. After that, to camp and we really didn’t think the day could get any better. Thanks to masuood.He was amazing.Also,orient tours were 5 star! The exclusive camp full of beautiful tradition and capsulated everything for a world class ‘Arabian night’ experience. The camels, stargazing, performers were incredible! Dinner & Dessert - where do I even begin! Incredible, incredible food, so many cuisines and options and all SO DELICIOUS! I would tell all of my family and friends to book this experience 1000 times over! Thank you Masuood & Orient team,for making our day unforgettableWritten 25 November 2024

I've been a travel agent for 26 years and I know how important it is to be well looked after. And our desert tour today with our guide and host Nitin was the difference that made our tour even more fun. He was cordial, polite and always asked if we were having fun, took photos of us, drove in the desert with excitement and safety. Being well looked after in an international destination is really necessary. Thank you Nintin!

Fantastic tour. It was very informational. Everything was on time. We saw old & new Dubai & had a great time on the desert safari riding camels, dune bashing, & entertainment with food. Nitin was tremendous with his wealth of knowledge of the area & also the history of Dubai. Would highly recommend the tour & especially Nitin as your guide!

We had an amazing tour guide Diana Nanuashvili Dubai, who took us around the city. The experience was enriching. Filled with lots of learning and fun. She was a great teacher. We learnt so much about the city and will surely be coming back for more.
Thank you so much Orient, until next time.
If ever you are in Dubai ask for Orient as for Diana.
