Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

PROS
* A guided experience into the Arabian Desert
* Accomadating polite experienced expert SUV drivers
* Exciting and thrilling dune bashing- buckle the seat belt and hold on
* Breathtaking views
* Camel ride too
* Ponder and bask in the vastness, the emptyness, the quiet and serenity
* Meal service almost always included
* Sunrise or sunset photos
* Complementary photo taken with your phone by the driver (usually)
* Wide selection of tour companies and tour options with additional/extra/optional activities and a wide range of prices too
CONS
* The dune bashing is not for the faint-of-heart
* It is usually a start-to-finish six hour activity
* "Kids- don't try this at home;" otherwise known as only go on an organized tour- the desert in unrelenting and unforgiving.
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... as a for-sure activity for my first visit to Dubai and the UAE. It was fantastic, incredible and unforgettable. The dune bashing was thrilling. The scenery was fantastic- see my photos attached here.
To show you how much I liked and recommended this- two weeks after our return, our adult children were in Dubai and they were on this desert tour three hours after their arrival at DXB.
ADVICES
* Definitely do it- don't visit Dubai UAE without doing one of these from one of the companies
* As stated above, "kids- don't try this at home"
FULL DISCLOSURE
As much as I like it and recommend it to all first-time visitors, I won't be doing it again when I return in less than a year.

First time in the desert and it was really amazing. The driving at the dunes, the camel riding, the quad-biking, the food and the dances were all just an amazing experience for me. Will definitely go back

The biggest tourist trap ever! Toilets horrendous. Harassed by shop people to buy headwear for stupid money. Bird handlers everywhere trying to shove poor birds in your face for photos. Buggy rides supposedly half hour but most of time was stopping to see bird handlers and birds. Very expensive for a rubbishafternoon out. Desert covered in rubbish.

We went out to the desert in large numbers and enjoyed singing to some sweet music with our church members!
Amazing how the time went so fast and the stars came out beautifully and the wind blowing from all corners.
And so beautiful to drive their during the day!

My favorite part is the bike ride in ramal and the staff was goodbye. Their behavior and the show was great for today. I enjoy the firework and the belly dance
