Mixed experience... - Our driver was amazing! it was fun to get a ride on red dunes especially when you get over the hill and then seems you're about to turn over. The camel seat only for the unprofessional picture, not camel ride. The dinner was included. However, they forced people to upgrade to a higher category with surcharge. The people who upgraded, could go to eat right away. However, the people who didn't upgrade, they treated them with a negative attitude. They didn't let them eat until the last moment. The food was OK. A lot of smoking ( included in the package) that they offer. We didn't know what that wording meaning. There was a mix of positive and negative experience with this tour.

Unforgettable Desert Adventure in Dubai with Saqib - My desert tour in Dubai was truly an unforgettable experience! The views were absolutely stunning, and our guide and driver, Saqib, was incredibly friendly, making the time even more enjoyable. Thanks to Saqib, the tour felt extra special, and I got to experience an exhilarating ride. After the tour, the BBQ party had decent food, and the chicken was especially delicious. The variety of entertainment, including the Tanoura dance, fire show, and belly dancing, was wonderfully arranged. I highly recommend this tour! It was one of the best moments of my life.

Good sand dune trip - Our guide Rashid was very good and the sand dune ride was great. The camel ride was extremely short and the only downside was that we had to wait for 30 mins or so whilst the other two in the group did the quad biking

Van with no and/or functional seatbelt - Agent/operator for this tour was “ Dream Journey” . Pick up went week on time for this small group tour, there was already a family of 4 in , we were seated in the 3rd line seats and we realized the 2 seats didn’t have a seatbelt lock and for the other seat, lock was not functional. We told the guide/driver who did not show any concerns, didn’t say a word neither look for a solution. All the way to the dunes there were signs “seat belts mandatory”!! When dunes bashing began and took a huge deep - me and my sister ended up flying up from our seats and hit the SUV roof badly not just one but the whole 45 minutes - we still have pain on top of our heads and neck pain, we told the driver we were not ok - and he continue. Viator need to make sure all operators have all their vans in optimal security conditions and all seatbelts in and/or good conditions, mostly for a rough rides in the dunes.
