The Good Stuff
Family Friendly
Several reviews describe patient guides who kept young children comfortable and involved throughout the safari.
Helpful Photos
Guides regularly offer to take pictures, with photo stops built into the desert route rather than left as an afterthought.
Reliable Pickup
One repeat customer reported an on-time pickup and a clean, comfortable car before the activities began.
Sunrise Option
The sunrise safari gives you quiet morning desert light, sandboarding and time for scenic photographs.
Camp Dinner
Evening packages can finish with a BBQ dinner, desert-camp seating and live entertainment.
No Haggling
A visitor specifically noted there was no pressure to negotiate or buy extra activities during the excursion.
Tips for a Better Visit
Choose Intensity. If travelling with children, ask whether the dune drive can be basic or more intense; one family was asked which style they wanted.
Try Sunrise. Choose a sunrise safari for peaceful morning atmosphere, striking desert light and easier photo opportunities.
Consider Private. A private safari may suit families wanting a more personalised outing, with a private dinner and flexible attention.
Add A Buggy. Ask about adding a buggy experience if you want another activity; one guest arranged a guided 30-minute session on arrival.
Expect Exertion. If you are sensitive to motion or dislike steep climbs, plan around the nausea of dune driving and the effort of returning uphill after sandboarding.

The Bottom Line
DXB Tours is a Dubai Marina tour operator with a strong focus on desert safaris. A typical outing can include dune bashing, camel rides, sandboarding and time at a desert camp; reviews also mention quad biking, falcon photos and camel-farm visits. The appeal is the way guides combine driving with practical help, photo stops and explanations about the desert and UAE history.
Families come up often. Reviewers travelling with children as young as three and four describe patient, attentive guidance, while another family appreciated being asked whether they wanted a frightening or basic dune drive. Pickups were reported as punctual, and one repeat customer specifically praised the clean, comfortable car.
For evening trips, Dream Night Camp is mentioned for BBQ dinners, seating, cultural performances and live entertainment. Sunrise safaris offer a quieter atmosphere and attractive desert photography, while private packages can add a more personalised feel and a VIP dinner. Some excursions also let you add a guided 30-minute buggy ride after arrival.
There are two practical cautions: dune bashing may feel nauseating if you are motion-sensitive, and sandboarding is tiring on the climb back up. Ask about the driving style and package inclusions before booking, especially if travelling with young children.
