About
Dubai is one of the most prosperous and modern cities in the world. The city is bordered by the capital of UAE ‘Abu Dhabi’ in the south, the cultural capital ‘Sharjah’ in the northeast, and the Sultanate of Oman in the southeast. Situated within the Arabian Desert, the city has a unique topography and people from all around the world come to experience both natural and man-made wonders.
There is more to Dubai than all these magnificent man-made wonders and there is nothing that characterizes Dubai as much as the huge and extensive deserts. The Landscape of Dubai mostly formed of Sandy deserts and gravel filled deserts. Desert Safari in the clean sandy desert is an adventurous experience, enjoyed by all age groups.
The golden high dunes, the flora and fauna of the deserts, the camels, Bedouin Desert Camps, Entertainment shows, and Local cuisine there is so much experience in Dubai’s desert. The Evening Desert Safari should be on your must-do list when you in Dubai.

I first would like to say I am greatful for the professional service we received from surprise tours. I was very pleased with all the tour guides. When I first booked with them I was very nervous of being scammed but mr Ibrahim the owner constantly stayed in contact with me and ensured my visit was one to remember. You will not be disappointed with all the personal experience you receive from this company ℹ definitely would recommend using them again.

First, I would like to say that we actually went on many tours in Dubai I was only able to select one tour.
Our tour guy, Sam, was PHENOMENAL! He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, fun and extremely accommodating. His attentiveness to our groups needs and desires throughout the entire vacation was impressive. His customer service is top notch and I honestly think that our trip wouldn’t have been as successful without him!! Sam the Man is THE BEST!!! Thank you Sam! Don’t forget to give me contact information for realtors in Dubai.

To say I had an awesome time during my visit to the Desert would be an understatement. The ride in the Land Cruiser as good lively music was blasting was thrilling! I thought we were going to turn over a couple times as we were tossed around! The experience riding the Camels was heartwarming as I felt the nature of the beast. The colorful dance entertainment was great as fireworks topped off the evening. Saad (Sam) was an awesome tour guide making sure we had all we needed. I highly recommend him!

First of all, we had the best tour guide ever, Sam! He is like a walking encyclopedia, with information about all things Dubai and worldwide - buildings, foods, historical facts, you name it!
The sand dunes were so fun! We ordered the Polaris dune buggy ride and it was a blast! It was so much fun and memorable! I would definitely do it again! Sam met us at the hotel and ensured safe transport to and from. Once there, he took pictures and accompanied us every step of the way.
Every excursion we booked was prompt and well organized by Sam. He's the absolute best! Anyone planning a trip to dubai, find this guy and book him! You will not be disappointed! His knowledge, professionalism, prompt timeliness, pleasant, fun personality, and vast in-depth knowings of Dubai and worldwide facts about buildings historical facts and events, demographics, foods, and just so much is superb!

Omg! I had the most fabulous time in Dubai. We saw and experienced so many highlights and interacted with the local culture. Our tour guide, Saad (Sam) was very knowledgeable about Abu Dhabi and Dubai and curated the trip to meet our needs. If you want an unforgettable experience ask for Sam!!

I think this was the funnest day while in Dubai. The Desert Safari with the 4 wheelers and the Sand Dunes in the SUV's were "off da chains" I still laugh when I think about it. The camel ride, tge entertainment and the food was GREAT! BTW, our tour guide Marshal, he's the best!!!! Hands down..

From Airport pick up to drop off everything was excellent! We had an amazing time. Great customer service 👏🏽 our guide was amazing -Mr Ahmed, took really good care of us, very knowledgeable and informative and as quite patient with us. Muhammad Faizan not sure if that’s the gentleman who took us to the airport, but if not - he was also extremely helpful took us right through to the check in counter. I will definitely use and recommend this company again.

Great experience !
The 4x4 safari lived up to our expectations.
However, the buggy activity chosen was somewhat disappointing because there was little freedom to realy enjoy the activity (too restrictive) and too much people on the circuit

Dubai. For 5 days we booked tours with this company and they were brilliant. Complete professionals.. all the drivers and tour guides were brilliant and took very good care of us. SAM THE MAN who was our main point of contact was very responsive to queries. He also checked in on us regularly. I would def recommend them to anyone wanting to book tours in Dubai.
