The Good Stuff
Private Vehicles
A private-transport package was described as using clean, comfortable vehicles for sightseeing.
Tour Guides
Some travellers found the city-tour guides informative, pleasant and helpful throughout Dubai and Abu Dhabi visits.
Safari Activities
A positive safari review specifically mentions dune bashing, quad biking and a camel ride.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Pickup. Get every pickup change in writing; one cruise booking had a changed time that was not communicated.
Allow Buffer. Leave a generous buffer for shared transfers, since one itinerary took from about 8:30 AM until 2 PM to reach its first stop.
Check Inclusions. Before a desert safari, confirm whether barbecue dinner and quad biking are included or charged separately.
Verify Vehicles. For a 4x4 booking, confirm the vehicle condition and seating arrangement before departure.
Request Details. Ask for the driver name, bus number and mobile number before being dropped at an attraction.

The Bottom Line
Royal Gulf Tourism LLC, based in Deira, arranges Dubai and Abu Dhabi holidays, sightseeing, airport transfers, cruises and desert safaris. Reviews show that the experience can be very good when the operation runs smoothly: travellers mention clean private vehicles, informative guides, airport drivers who waited through immigration, and helpful itinerary updates. The most clearly discussed activities are desert safari, Marina Dhow Cruise, Half Day City Tour and visits to attractions such as Ferrari World.
A highly positive safari review enjoyed quad biking, dune bashing and a camel ride, while another praised the creek cruise’s dinner, dance and magic show. These strong examples sit alongside older and newer complaints, so package quality appears uneven. The main risk is coordination.
Reviews report pickup windows of 30 minutes to an hour, missed return pickups, unclear driver details and shared-transfer schedules that consumed much of the day. One guest reached Ferrari World at 2 PM after leaving around 8:30 AM. A separate cruise booking involved an uncommunicated timing change and delayed confirmation.
Before paying, get the itinerary, pickup changes, vehicle type, seating and all safari inclusions in writing. Confirm whether barbecue dinner or quad biking costs extra, and keep enough time and a backup plan for airport or shared transfers.
