The Good Stuff
Safari guide
A separate review praised the SUV ride, experienced guide and a desert safari that matched the paid itinerary.
Helpful driver
One desert safari customer said the pickup driver was helpful and showed them around well.
Fire show
Even a strongly negative safari review found the fire show worthwhile.
Repeat visitor
A long-standing reviewer said they liked the desert safari and had used the service repeatedly.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm inclusions. Ask in writing whether the dune ride, camel ride, food and snacks are included; one customer missed the dune ride because it cost extra.
Verify pickup. Confirm the pickup time and meeting point before booking, especially for a morning safari; one customer waited in a hotel lobby with no pickup.
Clarify upgrades. Get the full VIP price and inclusions upfront, since customers reported being asked for further payment after purchasing VIP.
Plan for queues. Allow extra time for food and return transport: reviews mention long waits and delayed service at the camp.
Check food. If food quality matters, ask what is being served and when; several customers reported cold, limited or spoiled food.
Avoid photo pressure. Ask whether photos, falcon pictures and scarf shots are optional before joining in, as one review describes pressure to pay.

The Bottom Line
Dadabhai Travel Dubai is a travel agency in Umm Hurair where customers have booked airline tickets, hotels and desert safari packages. The more positive reviews describe quick responses, good rates, hassle-free ticket and hotel arrangements, and at least one safari with a nice SUV ride and an experienced guide. A helpful pickup driver and a fire show also received praise.
The desert safari feedback is sharply mixed, but the negative accounts are detailed and repeated. Customers describe short dune rides, a camel ride lasting less than 30 seconds, crowded camps, long waits for food and return transport, and activities or seating treated as paid extras. Several reviewers found the food cold, limited or poor quality; two recent reviews specifically allege spoiled chicken.
Pricing needs careful checking. One customer paid AED 50 per person for sofa seating, while another mentioned a 70 aed package that did not include the dune ride. Reviews also mention pressure around photo charges, VIP upgrades and other camp purchases.
Confirm every inclusion, pickup arrangement and cancellation condition in writing before paying. The agency has some positive booking and safari reports, but the service experience appears inconsistent enough that a cheaper package may not be worth the uncertainty.
