The Good Stuff
Smooth Transfers
Hotel pickup and drop-off are frequently described as punctual, seamless and well coordinated.
Sunset Photos
Guides commonly stop for sunset photography and help guests capture photos in the red dunes.
Private Camp
Several reviews mention an exclusive or private camp that feels less crowded than large shared sites.
Family Friendly
Reviewers found the safari workable for children, with drivers adjusting the experience to different comfort levels.
Custom Itineraries
The team has customised activities and broader UAE tours around guests’ preferences and timings.
Camp Shows
Entertainment can include fire, Tanoura and belly-dance performances, with multiple reviewers enjoying the programme.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Inclusions. Ask exactly what your booked tour includes, since one guest said changes were not always communicated as advertised.
Check Food. If you need Indian vegetarian food, confirm the menu first; one dinner had only mixed vegetables and bland dal.
Budget Extras. Check add-on costs before booking activities such as buggy rides, since one guest paid 250 AED for about 15 minutes.
Bring Snacks. Consider taking water and snacks because a roadside stop was described as expensive.
Arrive Early. Confirm pickup timing and aim not to arrive late: one guest reached the camp after dark and missed some activities.

The Bottom Line
Arabian Nights Tours is a Dubai operator in Al Wasl whose reviews focus heavily on evening desert safaris. A typical outing can include dune bashing, a sunset photo stop, camel riding, sandboarding and time at a Bedouin-style camp, followed by dinner and live entertainment. Pickup and drop-off are often described as smooth, and several families say their drivers handled children and different comfort levels thoughtfully.
The strongest part is usually the desert driving and guiding. Reviewers describe confident handling of the dunes, good local information and helpful photo stops; one family also appreciated a less crowded, guest-only camp. The company has handled private safaris and wider Dubai-and-Abu Dhabi itineraries too, with some guests praising its flexibility around activities and timings.
Food is the main caution. Experiences range from delicious, ample BBQ dinners to bland or barely warm meals, with particularly sharp criticism from Indian vegetarian diners. Starter counters have also reportedly closed early.
Confirm the exact inclusions and any extras before booking: one guest paid 250 AED for roughly 15 minutes of buggy use, while dress-up and other camp services may cost more. Bringing water and snacks is sensible, and late arrival can mean missing camel rides or sandboarding.
