Begin day one with a private self-drive boat for a tour along Dubai’s iconic coastline before heading into the mountains to explore the lesser known outdoor spots in the United Arab Emirates. Experience the wadis (Arabic for valley) on a safari in a Classic Land Rover Defender, enjoy your favourite outdoor activities like trekking and fat-biking in the afternoon. Witness the magical Arabian sunset and enjoy a gently-lit barbecue dinner under the stars in the wadi surrounded by the Hajar mountains.

          Amazing experience! Amazing views
          Fantastic experience! Well recommended. I was frightened of heights but decided to face my fear and I really enjoyed it once I was in the air. The views above Dubai and the palm were so amazing.

          HORRIBLE OWNER
          This place is not recommended at all. Please do not visit the place you see in the pictures. For a small scratch we ended up paying AED 1760/= which is absolutely unreasonable. It were disided by the OWNER of that place. The guy (owner) didn't even wanna lisnt to us or try to help in anyway. He was RUDE and not friendly at all. On top of it there is no proper changing room. The changing room is full of petrol gallons, just imagine how it will be the smell in it. It's like your having a change in a gas station. When the GIRL IS CHANGING one of the staff members open the DOOR where they don't have a courtesy of knocking the door before they open. NO PRIVACY & SAFETY FOR A WOMAN.

          Red Rocks Experience
          Fun place! Those spooky car rides on top of San dunes are incredibly adventurous. I must those drivers are having great driving skill. Many other things are also there to enjoy apart from car ride like ATV rides, camel rides, etc.

          Professionalism & Best Quality
          Our experience with First Excursion is excellent. Our guide, was punctual, friendly and very kind. He drives really well, which made us enjoy the dune bashing. We also enjoyed the quad rides, and were able to watch the amazing sunset and capture memorable moments. We were literally astounded by the beauty of the desert. The camp was not crowded and all precautionary measures were taken, including social distancing. The performances were very nice. We highly recommend this agency!

          1880's Experience
          "Under the stars" an over night stay, added on with wild life safari. For Family of 4 (2adults and 2 kids) Amazing experience staycation. A quality family time, away from devices and electronics... kids love it so much and they want to go back again (age of 13 and 11). Thanks to Richa who made a booking for us. Many thanks to "Gert" and his team for warm welcome and to take good care of us, his knowledge and professional and humbleness make us feel comfortably safe and fun. Dinner was preparing at the spot... the quality and teste more than our expectation. The walk and bon fire with marshmallow was the high-light for our kids. The camp site was very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was very nice. The only one suggestion is if the bed could have been more comfortable, it would be perfect. Regards, Family of 4 booking on 16th April 2021

          Private Helicopter tour & burj al arab lunch was fantastic
          It was a fantastic ride! The staff are friendly and make sure your safety. The view is better than I expected. You don't really need to go to the observation floor of Burj Khalifa since First Excursion will bring you “higher! “

          Fantastic view of sky scrappers from helicopter
          There is no better way to see dxb than from the highets of the sky. Only a helicopter excursion can give breathtaking views of this amazing city... from its skyscrapers, long stretch of beaches and famous landmarks! I received a warm welcome from the Reception staff. The entire crew was pleasant. Before boarding, a safety briefing was held where passengers were also weighed for weight and balance. We then placed our bags inside lockers near the boarding area. This tour is pricey and so are the souvenir photos sold after the flight but definitely worth the cost!... A once in a lifetime experience Highly Recommend this company to book helicopter tour.

          Morning Desert Safari tour with excellence
          Osama Our driver collected us from the hotel on time. He pointed out the sights on the way .We went quad biking which was excellent , as we were the only two there. The dune bashing was very funny. Osama does mention there are plastic bags in the door, didn't use them thank goodness. Luckily I hadn't had breakfast. He kept stopping for photos. The photos that Osama took of us were out of this world .I then went on the short camel ride. We turned down the sandboarding. Returned back to the hotel just in time for late breakfast.

          This company is a con artist
          Scam. Tour operator did not respond to my messages or phone calls at the expected time of pickup. I needed to book a different tour with a more reputable company the next weekend, as they did not tell me they would not show up and did not answer their phone or through the trip advisor app. When I asked for a refund, they forged whatsApp messages, written in very poor English, between us stating that I wanted to go shopping and needed to cancel the tour. All communication with them had been through the trip advisor app, and we have never communicated on whatsapp. Since they provided forged messages to Viator, it has be a major challenge to get a refund, and I have needed to go the route of filing a report with the Dubai police as well as doing a chargeback with my credit card. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company.
