About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- O6925LYchloet0 contributionsAbu dhabi tourPerfect day, tour around abu dhabi, we visited basic sightseeing viewpoints, many photos and interesting cultural sites. Our guide/ driver Abdul Rehman was great, really kind and willing to help and guide us anytimeWritten 8 January 2025
- obynz0 contributionsPremium Evening Desert safari with dune bashing and sandboarding. Including quad bikes, belly dancing, henna PaintingAll the arrangement went to plan. In my previous experience with other tours, the back office team were never helpful, but Muhammad and team were excellent, they provided me with details of everything we needed. The lead driver on the ops side Abdul Waqas and team were excellent. They took into consideration the people that wanted ‘soft bashing or none’; and were flexible in making ghat happen. Abdul in particular was worried about our cakes and saw to it that they were delivered to the camp site in perfect condition. Throughout our stay at the camp, they ensured our group were comfortable and made sure we were all sat in the same area. We had a very good experience all together.Written 6 January 2025

- 79lekshmip0 contributionsScammers.WORST experience everI am extremely disappointed with the tour experience. The driver was unprofessional and did not prioritize customer comfort, failing to stop at any of the promised photo stops, which were a major highlight of the tour. The vehicle was also poorly designed for this type of travel. We were four people, and two of us had to sit in the last row, but the middle seat had an issue with folding, making it extremely difficult to get in and out. This added significant inconvenience throughout the trip. To make matters worse, there was an additional person in the vehicle who wasn’t even a tourist, which felt unfair considering we had paid for the service. The driver also asked if we wanted to visit the dates market, mentioning that it was overpriced and not worth it. When I agreed to skip it, he then asked if we wanted to visit Yas Island instead, which felt like a poorly planned alternative. For AED 600, the experience was appalling. I could have traveled to these locations far more comfortably for much less. This was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve had. It’s clear that the company cares more about profit than providing a satisfactory service. I would not recommend this tour to anyone.Written 21 November 2024

The Evening Desert Safari with Camel Ride, BBQ Dinner, and Dune Bashing was an unforgettable experience. The dune bashing was a heart-pumping thrill as our skilled driver navigated the sandy terrain with ease. The camel ride offered a serene contrast, giving us a glimpse of the desert's beauty at sunset. The BBQ dinner was the highlight, featuring a variety of mouthwatering dishes and live performances that added to the ambiance. The Arabian hospitality and well-organized schedule ensured a hassle-free experience. A must-try for adventure lovers and foodies!

I can’t recommend the Evening Desert Safari by Arabian Tour Packages enough! The entire experience was seamless, from the timely pick-up to the courteous service throughout. The dune bashing was a heart-pounding adventure—our driver was an expert, making it thrilling yet safe. The camel ride was serene and gave us a unique perspective of the sprawling desert. Dinner was a culinary delight; the BBQ was flavorful and complemented by fresh salads and desserts. What made the evening special were the cultural performances—authentic, vibrant, and captivating. The fire show was particularly impressive. The tour was well-organized, ensuring we got the most out of every activity. It’s perfect for anyone looking to explore the UAE’s desert charm in comfort and style.

Very nice package for this price! Our driver Kashif was very friendly, took care of every detail and let us feel very safe. The food was surprisingly very good, with plastic plates, but nice , a lot of vegetables, salads, meat and fish choice. The drive on the sand gives you Adrenalin, the driver was also ready to adjust the speed according to passengers‘ wishes, which is really important!! Camel ride made us laugh because it was very cute. Do not expect luxury, enjoy the red sand and get a right driver and you will like this experience!

The evening tour done with dune bashing and dinner. You set yourself up for shabby shops, that's just part of the job. But you do assume that you spend most of your time doing the activities. A total of about 10 dunebashen, 1 minute sandboarding, 5 minutes camel ride. The Arab evening was fine, nothing special, but fine. Lasts an hour and a half and stops abruptly. Everything else accompanied by a driver who says nothing. Very often stops, gets out and just disappears for 10 minutes. Drives you around everywhere and is only apping behind the wheel! Book this elsewhere! There are mega many providers.

Would like to feedback that RAHIM was such a terrible guide.
1) he was on the phone messaging and calling while driving. All the way we had no clue where we were heading since there were a few pit stops since he was busy getting new clients instead of entertaining the present ones (us).
2) kept rushing us with the reason that “need to keep on schedule” so ok, we understood. But in the end we reached the dinner place 1 hour earlier 🤷♀️ We were the first one there. why the rush then?
3) upon reaching the dinner place, he said if we feel bored we could just find him at the car park so we could go home earlier. What kind of guide would say these things to a tourist? Arent you all suppose to encourage/motivate/introduce us to new places?
4)after the final performance, he was screaming for us to hurry back. We were still at our table as the person who sold us accessories had to adjust the length of the bracelet we bought. They can be my witnesses to rahim’s attitude. They were surprised by his gestures and reaction. So so ugly. Rahim kept saying “HALAS HALAS.”
Back at the parking lot, SO many cars were still parked there and have yet to move off. Seriously what is he rushing for?
5) on the way home he was on the phone to get deals from some yacht company to accommodate to 30 client of his. Yes he talked on the phone while driving (mobile to his ear) This is firstly dangerous and secondly sooo unprofessional.
Unfortunately this tour was after our very pleasant experience with oceanair. Hence we could definitely do the comparison and this tour was such a nightmare for us. Thumbs down to the driver rahim. Why is he even in the tourism industry if he has no passion for what he is doing???
Also, he did not lift a finger to assist us with anything. Just parked the car and got out. Unlock the car and got in. Didnt even ask if we were ready before moving off. Ps/ we had a 2 year old with us and it can get quite bumpy on the desert.

Our morning safari was everything I could have hoped for! Everyone in the family (including a teen and preteen) enjoyed every minute of it—from the dune bashing to the ATVs, and we can’t forget the camel ride! Azeem was a pleasure and his insights during our ride out to the dessert were greatly appreciated! He was very prompt the morning of our safari with great communication prior to pickup at our hotel. I would definitely recommend him!!!

Azeem is a great driver and the desert is really nice on a February morning. We had a really good time. The dune bashing reminded me of my first time on a roller coaster: I was smiling wider and wider with each dune we bashed. And did I mention that Azeem is a great driver?

We had an amazing time on our desert safari. Our tour guide made it special for us and had excellent driving skills - thrilling and would definitely recommend. We were taken care of from the moment we were picked up at my address to the end of the evening. The whole tour was very well organised and will be doing it again soon.

Very disappointed with the service provided. Accommodated hundreds of people than the actual capacity. No drinking water or soft drinks given. Hours long queue for food where more than a thousand people crowded. On the whole a terrible experience.
