The Good Stuff
Photo Help
Guides are often praised for taking photos at desert stops and suggesting poses, which is useful if you are travelling without a dedicated photographer.
Activity Range
Customers mention quad biking, camel riding, sand surfing, falconry and horse riding as available parts or add-ons of the safari experience.
Family Care
One review says the driver was kind and well behaved with children, while another family with a baby reported attentive care throughout.
Camp Dinner
Some visitors enjoyed the buffet, barbecue dinner and cultural performances, though the quality and organisation vary sharply across reviews.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Inclusions. Ask for every included activity and fee in writing before paying, especially quad biking and VIP seating.
Allow Time. Leave a large buffer around the itinerary: reviews mention lengthy pickup and return waits, including nearly four hours for transport.
Check Seating. If booking VIP, confirm exactly what the upgrade covers; one review paid extra but still reported poor seating and service.
Bring Car Seat. Travelling with a toddler? Confirm the car seat on pickup rather than relying on a booking promise; one family found none available.
Expect Vendors. Be prepared for repeated sales approaches for shisha, trinkets, perfume and handicrafts during the camp experience.
Verify Pickup. On the day, keep the booking contact handy and verify the driver if delayed, since one customer received no response after waiting.

Common Concerns
Long Waiting
Pickup, return transfers and camp transport were repeatedly criticised; one family waited almost four hours for pickup and another two hours to leave.
Short Dune Ride
Several customers said dune bashing lasted under ten minutes or was limited to small, grassy dunes rather than the expected desert terrain.
Upselling
Reviews report pressure to pay for quad biking, VIP seating, shisha and other extras, alongside disputes about what the original package included.
Poor Coordination
Customers describe disorganised camps, including buffet service overlapping with performances and queues that left families with little time to eat.
Missed Pickup
One customer waited more than two hours without the operator arriving and received no response from the booking number.

The Bottom Line
Royal Planet Tourism is a tour agency in Al Qusais whose reviews focus overwhelmingly on desert safari packages. A typical outing can include 4x4 dune bashing, quad biking, camel riding, sand surfing, a desert-camp buffet and cultural shows. Several customers enjoyed the driving, sunset photos and activities, while others said the dune section lasted under ten minutes or took place on small, grassy dunes rather than dramatic desert terrain.
The guide can make a real difference. Reviews describe careful driving for a senior-citizen group, helpful photography and attentive family care, but other customers reported disinterested or impolite drivers, missed pickups and poor communication. This is not a consistently smooth operation: families reported waiting almost four hours for transport, and one booking never arrived after more than two hours.
Budget carefully and confirm the package in writing. Customers mention extra charges or pressure around quad biking, VIP seating, shisha and other camp purchases; one review paid 50 AED extra for VIP seating, while another reported AED50 per camel-ride picture. Camp food and atmosphere range from enjoyable barbecue and shows to crowded, poorly coordinated service.
If timing, young children or reliable inclusions matter, ask detailed questions before booking and leave plenty of buffer.
