10 stars: an absolutely amazing experience - I absolutely loved this whole experience. Everything was amazing, from the organizational part of pick up to our amazing driver/host Mehdi who made our trip and the dune bashing safe and fun. I loved the camp, its spectacular. It wasn't overly crowded at all. I loved the Arabic tea served in the camp, that is a must, the sunset was stunning, the camels are adorable, dinner was delicious and with so many choices, there is something for everyone. I booked the overnight stay so after the majority of guests left, the camp was so tranquil and majestic. I loved the chats and tea around the fire and star gazing. The sleeping tents are spacious, clean and very authentic. You do get a towel and the showering/beauty stuff for a overnight stay. The shower/ bathroom is shared, but they are also clean and comfy. Sunrise camel ride was an amazing experience and the breakfast afterwards was one of the tastiest breakfasts I ever had, amazing tea and coffee included. The ride back to our hotel was also pleasant and quick. All in all this was a once in a lifetime experience and I loved every moment of it and would recommend it to everyone. A big thanks to all of the staff at the camp and our drivers, you guys are all amazing and make this experience a very memorable one.

Dubai Overnight Desert Safari, BBQ & Stargazing at Al Khayma Camp - This experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The activities were well-organized, and the desert ride was extremely fun—definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Watching the sunrise over the desert was a breathtaking moment that made the entire experience even more special.
The facilities were well-maintained, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the showers were. The food was delicious, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Everything, from the stargazing to the BBQ, was well-planned and made for an unforgettable night in the desert.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai—it was definitely worth it!

Must do overnight desert safari!!!! Great time with the family - Went on the Overnight Desert Safari with my wife and 3 kids (aged 13, 11, 10) and we had a fantastic time. I took one of my sons out on the dune buggy into the desert and we had a great time following the guide around and driving through the sand. About half way through we stopped and the guide took a bunch of pictures for us to look back on (we joked it was like a photo shoot). We did the dune bashing which some in the family were a little bit worried about (not liking fast amusement rides), but our driver was great and was able to show us a great time without causing them too much stress. The rest of us loved it though. We had fun with the sandboarding and tried both standing up and also sitting on the boards.
The camp was great and we were looked after very well while there and during the whole experience. We got to try a bunch of different types of food, Henna, and just a general time enjoying the experience. Our guide, Mansoor Manz, was fantastic. He was very informative and also looked after us making sure we were taken care of throughout the whole experience. The best part though was the next morning getting to go on the camels during the sunrise and take a ton of pictures to remember the experience.

First time having such an... - First time having such an experience. We had a very helpful driver at the beginning. Got a lot of information about geography and history of Dubai then a good time at dune driving. After reaching the camp area got again lots of information from him about the program before saying goodbye to him. We met the camp personnel. Again very nice, polite and helpful. Sleeping in the desert tent was also very fun. We had a great dinner and breakfast which was Arabic cuisine and a night show with dance to which was great too.

Best experience in Dubai - Best activity we’ve experienced in Dubai. The company made the booking process easy and convenient, despite the 9 hour difference between the UAE and Canada. We were picked up by Imran who made us feel safe and secure, he made sure we were well-settled. Once at the camp, we were greeted with Marwan who accompanied us through the rest of the night and the following morning. A couple of days that truly will be in our core memory.

Awesome...!!! - ASTONISHING...!!! That's the one word review for Al Khayma desert safari.
This is premium and luxurious desert safari. Hence the price is on bit higher side, but if you want to experience the luxury and best desert safari with your infants then go for it, it's worth the money.
Right from the pick up till the drop in night everything was so perfect. The car which was spacious and well maintained arrived on time. As we had 2 infants our guide cum driver Safeer made sure of the utmost carefulness and drove accordingly. He is good in communication, driving and knowledge. We were well informed about every activity during our desert safari. We did quad biking in open desert on our own expenses and believe me it was all worth of it. Then we headed towards the camp and have done the dune bashing with infants and Safeer made sure that we all are safe and comfortable. At the camp all the activities (sandboard sketing, food, tea, coffee, soft drinks, photo with falcon, camel ride, camel feeding, sheesha etc) excluding the shopping were already included in our package.
Also they serve 4 cuisine meal including veg, vegan and non veg options, with BBQ and desert. The vegetarian food was awesome as well.
Again a big thanks to our driver/guide Safeer for the hospitality.
