The Good Stuff
Helpful Guides
Reviews often describe drivers as careful, friendly and attentive, including regular checks that guests were comfortable and had what they needed.
Desert Activities
Positive reviews mention enjoyable dune bashing, sunset photo stops and sandboarding, with one family calling the dune driving a highlight.
Camp Shows
The evening programme can include fire, belly-dance and tanoora performances; the fire show was especially memorable for one repeat safari customer.
Family Friendly
Some families said children and older relatives enjoyed the trip, with guides helping keep the ride comfortable and safe.
Quad Biking
The quad bike experience was the standout activity for some guests, including one package review that described an hour-long ride.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Timing. Ask for the full pickup, camp and return schedule. One guest arrived home late after waiting nearly two hours for collection.
Budget Extras. Ask which camp facilities are included and which cost extra, since one review found the camp highly commercial and paid options common.
Pack Refreshments. If travelling in the afternoon or with children, bring water and snacks; one review reported no refreshments for two to three hours.

The Bottom Line
Go Dubai Desert Safari Tours arranges desert excursions from Al Garhoud, typically combining hotel transport with dune bashing, camel riding and a camp evening. Depending on the package, guests have also mentioned quad biking, sandboarding, BBQ or buffet dinner, henna and live fire, belly-dance and tanoora shows. The strongest reviews praise attentive drivers, smooth transfers, sunset photo stops and enjoyable desert driving.
The experience is not completely consistent. Some families found the activities entertaining and comfortable, while others said the dune bashing lasted only five to seven minutes and the camel ride just one or two minutes. Sandboarding was listed in some packages but reportedly not provided.
Quad biking is often a highlight, though another review described a small, flat area and a short circular route. Timing and camp operations are the main cautions. Reviews mention arriving early and waiting for refreshments or activities, plus delays of up to nearly two hours after the shows before departure.
Food feedback ranges from delicious BBQ dinner to average quality, limited choices and rushed queues. VIP seating improved comfort and food for some guests, but reviews also say camp upgrades and other options can cost extra. Confirm inclusions, activity lengths and the return schedule before paying.
