          Unpleasant experience impatient driver
          Feedback to Skyland Tourism directly but seems no reply nor any acknowledgement by them since 2 weeks agp. Allow me to share my experience for this Hatta Mountain and Kayak tour was not as expected, and I would like to outline the key issues we encountered: Pickup Time Issues: Despite the tour being scheduled for an 8:30 am pickup, the driver insisted on a 7:30 am pickup. I suggested 8:00 am, but he insisted that the tour would be crowded and that there would be a lack of kayaks. However, this turned out not to be the case. Rushed Throughout the Day: The driver rushed us at every stop, constantly mentioning that he had other commitments at 2:00 pm, despite the tour being scheduled until 5:00 pm (based on an 8:30 am pickup). This added unnecessary pressure to the experience. Kayaking Confusion: The driver seemed unaware that kayaking was included in the tour. He was unhappy to take us to the kayak area by shuttle, and once again, rushed us through this activity. Frequent Messaging: Throughout the tour, the driver repeatedly messaged me about when we would be finished, which became quite frustrating. No Time for Meals: He did not allow us time to have lunch or even a short break, which was particularly bad for my family, especially for the kids. Skipped Itinerary Items: Several items listed in the itinerary, such as the safari on Hatta, visit Hajar Mountains, were skipped. The driver also claimed that the itinerary was inaccurate. Rushed Park Tour: We had to cut short one of the park tours, as it was already 12:30 pm, and the driver insisted that he needed 1.5 hours to return to Dubai. All these factors contributed to a very unpleasant experience for my family, especially for my children. I had high expectations for this trip, and unfortunately, it fell far short of them.

          Warning – Avoid This Scam!
          I want to share my extremely disappointing experience with the Royal Desert Safari Dubai, booked directly through Skyland's official website for €150 per person. This price is significantly higher than similar offers available for €47.83 on TripAdvisor or even their own standard package priced at €41.40. Here’s a summary of what happened: ### 1. Subpar Service Quality Despite being marketed as a “Royal” experience, the service provided was far from premium: - Dune Bashing: My wife, 2-year-old daughter, and I were placed on the rear bench of the vehicle, in an uncomfortable position with almost no visibility, making the ride unpleasant. - Dinner: We were assigned a table far from the stage, with poor lighting, which ruined the overall atmosphere and enjoyment. ### 2. Not as Advertised The services provided clearly matched the standard package (€41.40), not the premium “Royal” package that we paid for. ### 3. Failed Attempts to Contact the Provider After realizing this scam, I tried to reach the provider via email and WhatsApp, but received no response to date. ### Recommendation I strongly advise against booking this activity. The price difference is entirely unjustified, and their customer service is non-existent. If you’re looking for a quality experience, consider other reputable options available on TripAdvisor or elsewhere. ⚠️ Warning: Don’t fall for this so-called “Royal” package. You’ll end up paying a premium price for standard, even mediocre, service. I hope sharing my experience helps others avoid the same disappointment.

          Perfect tour!!
          The tour was perfect! Our guide Amjad picked us up from Dubai Mall and was very patient and informative when we were trying to find him. We stopped for toilet breaks along the road and Amjad was very kind when it came to needed the restroom.The dune bashing was so much fun, he played us some loud music and let us enjoy the fun. We stopped for pictures and he offered to take some of us. The rest of the activities, the camel ride, quad bike, dune boarding and entertainment were very good and I would book with this again for sure! The food was okay. The whole experience was very good for the cheap price, yet many things extra charge once you’re there. Nevertheless, I 100% recommend.

          Enjoyed!
          The Dubai Desert Safari is an unforgettable experience that offers a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and natural beauty. The thrilling dune bashing ride across golden sands is a heart-pounding adventure, followed by serene moments as you watch the sun set over the desert. The experience is enriched with camel rides, sandboarding, and quad biking for adventure seekers. Traditional Bedouin camps offer delicious Emirati cuisine, henna art, and mesmerizing performances like belly dancing and Tanoura shows. Stargazing in the tranquil desert adds a magical touch to the evening. Ideal for families, couples, and solo travelers, it’s a must-do in Dubai.

          The best experience i have had so far
          The views were amazing we had so much fun. We stayed 5 days in Dubai and the most fun part aas the desert we got to ride camels and enjoy very nice show at the end. If you book through the company they also provide with free pickup and drop off. Our driver was very nice and welcoming and gave us alot of information about dubai as well. Definitely recommend

          Great overall experience.
          Great experience! Got a private ride with Arif to the camp with the family who picked us up from our building on time. Dune bashing, sand boarding, and the camel ride were the highlights of the evening. Would definitely recommend.

          Stressful journey
          Nice area with good sand for driving in buggies. Organizing the trip was easy, but complete the trip was totally stressful. Driver vent to the wrong hotel, so we was waiting 40min extra, means that we arrive to the area 1hour late. It was stressful because we have planned to see the sunset and take some good photo, but everything was like running from one to another. We did not enjoy that. No sorry from driver, no compensation. When we should drive back to hotel, again waiting for him 15-20min, he did not prepare the car (air in the tires), so we also have to spend time on that. Long drive home.... Driver keep telling us that we must make a good review on him on TripAdvisor and I should mention his name Mr. Amjad, hereby done.

        Did the morning desert safari. Habib, our driver could give us really interesting facts about all the different outskirts of Dubai on our way towards the camp. At the camp we did some sandboarding and a short camel ride with a very welcoming and friendly camel guide.
        Thereafter we started the dune bashing which was excellent and good fun especially during morning hours when literally nobody else was there. Covid measures were always strictly adhered to, even in the desert (Very professional!! ).
        Thanks to Habib and the crew we had an awesome time out there. Would recommend!!!

        My wife & I booked the activity online and the land-cruiser guy Ahmed picked us up at the hotel and drove us to the dessert. Ahmed was a nice guy.
        The dune bashing and cruising in the dessert was fun and exciting but we always felt safe even with the drifting and maneuvers. The driver was skillful.
        The buggy riding was exciting which took us 30 minutes to sprint the whole route. (buggy is not free)
        Sand surfing was ok, it was slow and low-adrenaline activity. And camel riding was short but ok.
        The fire show was interesting to watch and the traditional & belly dancing were fun.
        It was good that different drinks were served.
        The dinner was fine.
        Overall, it took us half a day and I believe the cost was totally worth it considering the transfer service, dinner, fire and dance shows.

        I went to safari and had an incredible experience. The highlight of the trip was our driver, Nasarali. His expertise and friendly demeanor made the adventure truly enjoyable. He navigated the terrain with skill and provided insightful information throughout the journey. I highly recommend this safari and commend Nasarali for his outstanding service.

        Nice experience driving trough the Dunes. Communication with the driver was very easy and the pickup was at the confirmed time.
        The only thing that’s a little annoying is that they always want to get you to do more things (which you obviously have to pay for) like buying traditional outfits or doing the ATV drive.

        Went for the evening dune bashing, sand boarding, camel riding yesterday with the family (kids 12 and 8 yo). Everyone loved it!
        Our driver Rashid Saleh picked messaged us the day before with timings and picked us up from the hotel at the time slot he said. He communicated very well and made the whole journey very pleasant for us. His dune driving was also very very good, got the family screaming as if we were in a rollercoaster. Kids also loved doing some sandboarding and camel riding.
        The entertainment was ok, we had 3 solo acts. A dancer, a belly dancer and a fire juggling person. Bbq food was good and plenty of side dishes for everyone.
        I would definitely recommend the VIP upgrade for table service.
        Overall excellent and would definitely do it again. Well done Rashid.

        Sami gave a very good tour, it was enjoyable to go on the sand dunes. He was kind, he suggested a theme, how to pose for the picture. The camel riding also awesome.
        Sami pick up us our house and also took us home so we don’t need to go anywhere. He arrived on time and was communicative throughout the tour.
