Response from the operator · Arabian Adventures
Hi TheTank08, Thank you for the wonderful feedback you have shared about your Evening Desert Safari. The Evening Desert Safari is one of our signature desert experiences, capturing every side of the desert’s magic in one extensive itinerary. We have plenty of upgrade options available too, so no single experience is like the other. Did you know, too, that a portion of the fee you paid for your experience will go towards local conversation projects? We hope to see you again soon for a tour in one of the cities in the United Arab Emirates, or a desert safari in the morning, evening or overnight. In the meantime, be sure to follow us on Instagram @arabianadventures so you can see the golden glow of the desert every time you scroll! Best regards, Arabian Adventures

leehG5219HJ, September 2026
This was honestly the best experience from start to finish. What made it an excellent experience was our guide Kevin. He was amazing!! He took extra time taking some of the best photos of our experience. Often we don’t get photos of us all together so this just added to the amazing experience. He stayed with us the whole time. The sandblasting camel Experience was 10/10 Could not recommend this company anymore!! If we come again we’ll be sure to request Kevin Thank you for a truly amazing experience
Response from the operator · Arabian Adventures
Hi leehG5219HJ, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your Evening Desert Safari, and in particular about your exceptional guide, Kevin. He will be delighted to read your review! We’re very fortunate to have complete access to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve – in fact, we are only a select few tour operators who do so. Having access to this protected space means you get the chance to spot local wildlife, like our resident gazelles and or the iconic Arabian Oryx, on our desert safaris. If you’re planning your next adventure, why not head into the city and book one of our guided city tours? There are plenty of experiences for you to choose from, and we will be by your side to make your next adventure as enjoyable as your desert safari. Best regards, Arabian Adventures

Response from the operator · Arabian Adventures
Hi amreenm2025, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on the Evening Desert Safari. We appreciate the kind words you shared about your wonderful experience. The flexibility of our Evening Desert Safari makes it one of our signature experiences. Guests often like to choose a luxury transfer vehicle, upgrade their drinks package, or even extend their experience by starting the afternoon with a dune buggy drive across the dunes. If you plan to join us for another safari soon, you can adapt it to make it completely unique next time around. We hope to see you again soon. Best regards, Arabian Adventures
