The Good Stuff
Trip planning
The team can coordinate several attractions into one holiday, from Burj Khalifa and Aquaventure to desert activities.
Abu Dhabi visits
Abu Dhabi day trips can include the Grand Mosque, with spacious transport and an organised visit.
Family friendly
Reviews describe desert outings that worked well for families, including children aged eight and ten and a ten-month-old baby.
Water activities
Customers have booked yacht days with jet skis delivered to them, describing the combination as affordable and convenient.
French service
French-speaking support is available, including explanations during an Abu Dhabi day tour.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm stops. Ask for the full itinerary and confirm any special drop-off in writing before a safari; one customer experienced confusion over both.
Bring layers. For an evening desert safari, bring warm clothing: one review specifically notes that desert evenings can feel cool.
Ask equipment. If booking sandboarding, confirm the board condition and whether straps are provided, following one older negative report.
Plan families. Families can ask about child-friendly arrangements; reviews describe successful trips with children and a ten-month-old baby.

The Bottom Line
Beyond Dubai is a French-speaking travel agency in Jumeirah that plans UAE activities rather than simply selling one-off tickets. Reviews repeatedly mention desert safaris, Abu Dhabi day trips and support that continues through the holiday, which is useful if you want several bookings coordinated in one place. The desert experiences are the clearest draw.
Customers describe dune driving, camel rides, quad biking or buggy sessions, camp dinners and live shows; one family particularly enjoyed the Heritage Desert Safari with children aged eight and ten. Abu Dhabi itineraries have included the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi and Yas Marina F1 Circuit. Other bookings covered Burj Khalifa, Aquaventure, yacht trips and jet skis delivered to the group.
Families appear well served: reviewers travelled with young children and a ten-month-old baby, while another praised the driver for checking on a nervous passenger. French-language explanations are also available on some tours. Several customers mention quick responses and prices they considered affordable, though no specific amounts are provided.
There is one important older caution. A 2014 reviewer reported worn sandboards, an unclear itinerary, an unexpected charge for a water bottle and a drop-off mix-up. Confirm the equipment, stops, extra charges and return point before departure.
For evening desert trips, bring a warm layer.
