The Good Stuff
Fire Show
The fire show is a standout evening feature; one guest called it mind-blowing, while others also enjoyed the Tanoura and dance performances.
Family Activities
A morning package gave one family access to 4x4 safari, ATV driving, sandboarding and camel riding in one outing.
VIP Facilities
One VIP package included elevated seating with air coolers, Wi-Fi and quicker buffet access, which can matter during a crowded camp evening.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Inclusions. Ask before booking which rides, food category and extras are included; several activities require payment at the camp.
Bring Layers. For a night safari, bring warm clothing because the desert becomes noticeably colder after sunset.
Use Your Car. Driving to the meeting point can cost less than hotel pickup, according to one visitor who used their own car.
Choose Winter. Winter was specifically recommended for a more comfortable family visit, especially given the outdoor setting.
Check VIP. Compare the VIP benefits before paying: guests mention reserved seating and faster buffet access, but opinions on value differ.
Expect Queues. Allow extra time after the show and consider arriving early, as seating, food and return transport can involve long waits.

The Bottom Line
Adventure Planet Tourism runs desert-safari outings in Ras Al Khor, with the main draw being a 4x4 dune-bashing ride followed by a camp evening. Reviews also mention camel rides, sandboarding and ATV or quad-bike add-ons, plus fire, Tanoura and belly-dance shows. The strongest part is usually the entertainment and the drivers’ handling of the dunes.
Several guests describe the fire show as a highlight, while families liked having several activities in one booking. The standard camel ride can be extremely brief—a fenced circle or even a photo stop—so do not treat it as a full desert trek. Quad biking is paid separately and was a highlight for one reviewer.
Food is the biggest gamble. Some guests enjoyed BBQ dishes, lamb kebab or unlimited drinks, but others found the buffet tasteless or very poor. The camp can be crowded, with queues for food and long waits after the show; some reviews also describe persistent selling of photos, souvenirs and upgrades.
VIP seating sometimes means reserved seats, a private or faster buffet and air coolers, but several guests questioned its value or felt pressured to buy it. Before booking, ask exactly which rides, food category, seating and transfers are included, and confirm add-on prices. Winter is more comfortable; bring warm clothing for a night safari.
Taking your own car to the meeting point was reported as cheaper, though return transport has occasionally taken over an hour.
