Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Inclusions. Ask in writing whether quad biking, sandboarding, shisha and other advertised activities are included before paying.
Check Duration. Confirm the promised dune-bashing duration and route in advance; one booking received only five minutes instead of 45.
Allow Buffer. Build plenty of time into your plans, especially for pickup and return, because reviews report major delays.
Clarify Upgrades. Get the exact vehicle and package details confirmed, as one guest says the promised car was not provided.
Check Conditions. If cleanliness matters, ask about the vehicle and camp facilities beforehand; reviews mention dirty cars, seats and washrooms.

The Bottom Line
Desert Planet Tourism LLC runs Dubai desert safari experiences from its Al Rigga base. The core booking can include 4x4 dune bashing, camel rides, sandboarding and time at a camp with dinner, belly dancing and fire shows. When the operation runs well, guests describe punctual pickup, friendly guides, strong driving and a well-organised evening; families have also enjoyed camel rides and photos on morning private tours.
The entertainment is one of the more consistent bright spots in the reviews. Guests mention tasty food, a good camp atmosphere, belly dancing and fire performances, while one visitor appreciated that the place was not too crowded. Food feedback is mixed, however: some call it delicious, while others found it average, spicy or poor.
Camp cleanliness also ranges from “clean” and organised to reports of dirty seating, unhygienic washrooms and a rodent in a tent. The main booking risk is inconsistency. Recent complaints describe late pickups, a return wait of almost three hours, short or rushed dune drives, missing sandboarding and extra charges for quad biking or other rides.
Confirm every inclusion, the vehicle, pickup time and promised dune-bashing length in writing, and leave a generous time buffer. The experience can be excellent, but the package details deserve careful checking before payment.
