this trip was absolutely fantastic. over the dunes, stop at a camel farm, meal and belly dancing, as well as a meal and drinks thrown in for good measure. the trip was booked through arabian adventures, most expensive, but well worth the money. JUST DO IT!

Do NOT take this tour if you are prone to motion sickness. The person who booked it for us did not mention this. The desert is beautiful but I was sick the entire time.

Along with the other great reviews of this experience, make sure that you get a good driver. We were on the tour with a few other cars, and 2 of them got stuck in the sand! Not ours...we had a good driver--we were the second car.

This activity is not for those with weak stomachs! I did feel a bit nauseous, but a bit of fresh air was all I needed to recover. Dinner was great! I thought that there would be a troupe of belly dancers, but there was only one. It was entertaining and she made the participants join in.

I went on the desert safari in July and suprisingly the temperature in the desert was not unbearable as I feared it might have been. I was picked up from my hotel at around 4:30pm and we picked up a few more people along the way arriving at the desert at around 6pm. Before we entered the desert we stopped off at some local shops where the driver partially deflated the tyres.

We were in the desert for about 45 mins driving up and down the dunes and stopped twice, once to take photos of the sunset which was magnificent and to go sandboarding. Basically, you sit in the middle of a sandboard and are pushed down a hill which you then have to walk up, which was a bit of a struggle. The view when you are in the desert is spectacular.

We were then taken to the camp site where I got to dress up in the burka and enjoy a barbeque and a performance from a belly dancer.
