I went on a tour of 6 Emirates and the Indian Ocean with a 4-hour rest on the Indian Ocean at the hotel and lunch. I booked from Russia with payment on the day of the tour. Everything is included, there were no additional charges. The organization is clear, the connection is via whatsapp. They were picked up from the hotel and delivered on time. The hotel where we rested during the tour is good, we snorkeled, we saw fish.. not a charm, but they are there. The guide seems to be Vladimir, excellent, tried his best! In general, I recommend the company!
A discounted desert tour cost $35 per person and this is probably an economical option. On the case: they roll along the dunes for 10 minutes, then for min. 20 free time in the photo, they give you a board, but it does not ride on the sand. 5 min photo and camel riding, if you come up. Beautiful fireshow min 10.
The rest is to fill the time and create a feeling of the program. The food is spicy (definitely not for children), the camp is modest. Belly dancing is weak.
We drove without expecting heights, so we were satisfied. Others left unimpressed, too. Someone paid $ 40 (apparently, the difference of $ 5 does not affect the quality, but just goes into the pocket of the manager).
The guys at the table said that 3 years ago they went to the same program for $ 50 and the camp, and the food, and the show were much better. Probably, such a level of excursion in 2024-25 would cost under $ 60. Is it worth it? I don't know.
We wanted a mini version of the desert and got it. I was satisfied with the price-quality ratio, and this is the main thing.
P.S. If you are traveling from Dubai Marina, the total travel time is about 2.5 hours.
Great guys. This is my third time in the Emirates and I use their services. The guide team works for 5+. The excursions are interesting, everything is clear in time and the price is very reasonable. The organization is on top. I recommend these guys to all my friends from Russia, from the bottom of my heart
For the second year I arrive in the emirates and buy excursions from them, everything is clear, everything is clear, always in touch, answer all questions.the staff all speak Russian well..I would especially like to mention the guide Farhad, we went with him to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, he conveys information very well and interestingly.
We took an excursion to Abu Dhabi and a sightseeing tour of Dubai. The prices are twice lower than those of the representatives at the hotel (Coral, etc.) Were picked up on time, large comfortable buses. The guide is excellent, he told interesting stories with humor, pleasant literate speech. I liked the organization of the tour, all the tickets were bought earlier, there were no queues, quickly and to the point.
I like it! I've been booking a lot of excursions for several years. Everything is clear and interesting! I went to the Indian Ocean several times - the guide is wonderful, they bring a wonderful one to the hotel and give out masks for snorkeling - a lot of fish, I met a big turtle, I need to buy a cover for shooting underwater!!! Crabs are running along the shore))) when traveling to the capital, they give out national clothes for visiting the most beautiful mosque!
An excursion from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, the guide Sergey spoiled the whole mood, boorish and unacceptable behavior with demands to leave the bus , shouting and defiant behavior and all this because of the cape that they promised to provide , I advise you to stay away from him because during the stories he drools like a water machine gun. Overall, the tour is good, I recommend it! But not this guide.
Fell for a nice girl on the beach who offered excursions. She chatted with us, told us everything, even offered to Google the prices for entrance tickets, which they have cheaper.
We chose a safari park to go with the children.
4 adults, 4 children.
With a transfer of 75 bucks an adult, 55 a child.
300 bucks + 220, a total of 520 dollars.
They took us by car, as a result, one child was riding in his arms. The driver was late there for 20 minutes, back for 15.
He bought tickets to the park himself.
Only after visiting the park did we check the ticket price.
If we arrived by 2 taxis there and back, it would cost $ 150, tickets $ 200, total 350.
The net profit of the agency is at least 170 bucks, on top of transport.
I wrote to the travel agent, she apologized very much, returned us $ 40 as compensation.
It is better to organize this tour yourself, take a taxi.
We also went on a sightseeing tour of Dubai, with a climb to the Burj Khalifa. I really liked the tour, but the climb to the tower is in the evening, it would be more interesting in the afternoon.
The husbands wanted to go fishing, the travel agent picked up a small yacht, but because of the excitement of the sea, it did not take place. The money was returned, no problem.
We took an excursion to Abu Dhabi. I asked Veronica when she described the tour at what time we arrive at the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. We'll arrive before sunset and then stay to watch with the backlight. In fact, it's not like that, they didn't look at the backlight. We left earlier, and the question is 30 minutes. I asked why you didn't fulfill the promise, it was said: "We are watching the sun." Instead of apologizing about the de-formation! Farhad is a good guide in general. He told about the palace of the Motherland and the mosque, some facts about the history of the country. But then I moved on to how much this excursion pays off for them. And I answered the questions with the question What do you mean? For example, when asked whether education here is free or paid, he said if a student is a double student, will he enter the university for a fee? And he began to talk about academic performance in general. I didn't answer the question. And so it is with other questions. There were also inaccuracies in the interpretation of Arabic words. He said about Arab writers and poets, the names have not been preserved. They have also been preserved as well as the pre-Islamic and Islamic periods. But in general, he gave interesting information within the framework of attractions.
The most important disappointment is that they did not see the mosque with lighting. I will not take tours from Arabian Knight. There is something to compare it with. The impression was spoiled.
Jeeps in the desert.
Just wasted time and money! Such skating is a disgrace for the UAE.
Riding with an "amateur driver" is no more than that, in time no more than 20 minutes in total, to the "first" dunes and back.
You deserve a single one!
From the pros: the price is only $ 40, a good driver.
Everything else is cons. My guide by correspondence was Tatiana. She told me that the journey took 40 minutes, she didn't know anything about the costumes, she didn't say there was no Russian guide, it feels like she wasn't there at all.
The driver arrived, nice, good, though he drives brazenly. They took the guys from another hotel. We drove 1.5 hours to the desert. The driver only speaks English, but I understood him in general. When we got to the place, they began to offer us to buy suits and scarves. Not to rent, but to buy. Why is he at my house? And in general, the costumes are not beautiful. Then we went to the desert, Had a cool ride, adrenaline. Then we went to the village or whatever it is. In general, they took a picture with a camel there. And they took us for a little ride. But no one took me off the video (((a photographer came up separately, his photo was 50 dirhams-1 pc. Then we went to this village. We tried tea with camel milk-delicious! Sweet! They offered hookahs. Then we were seated at the tables. The dance was not belly at all, but beautiful. I don't like fire shows, they are always the same type. Well, it's a matter of taste. But then we sat for more than 2 hours and were bored! Without a program, Wi-Fi and entertainment! We were only offered to buy all sorts of souvenirs. Then they started carrying food. I am a vegetarian and have been to many countries of the world on excursions and have never had any problems. Here everything was either with meat or with legumes (I'm allergic to them), but they brought a salad, like Greek. A salad would be enough for me. But it was terrible, sour, lemon taste. She asked me to redo it. They have already brought a non-Greek one. I came up and asked to add olives, cheese (which was in the last version of the salad), and paprika to it. To which I was refused and offered mayonnaise! Exactly the same thing! There is no Russian guide, no one took care of me. It's not that I'm starving, it's just that the service is at 0 for Dubai, this is unacceptable. And after 2 hours of boredom, some man in a terrible outfit came out, like a bundle man. And began to spin endlessly. Everyone at the table had already drunk a bottle of wine each and it was funny to them, but in fact looking with sober eyes there was nothing at all to talk about. And finally at 20:30 we were released and we drove home for another 1.5 hours. And no one asked how the tour was going at all. Did you like it? Do I want to go somewhere else. Of course, after such a terrible service, not with them anymore. In short, the general impression is this: after a camel ride, it was quite possible to go home. Everything else was just for people to buy something and alcohol. All. Organization at 0.
A company you shouldn't mess with. Two years ago, we already went on an excursion from them and, in the hope that it would be as good as last time, we booked a Safari. The most important thing for me in this excursion was that my mother always sat next to the driver, because she felt bad from such a ride, which was coming over the dunes. Three times I reminded three, and each time I was promised "yes, no problem, of course we will plant". As a result, a car came for us, the driver laughs and says sit on the ass. Like I don't know anything, I don't understand anything. The tour is ruined, my mother felt bad the whole tour. In the village, they then feed barbecue - it's terrible, everything is not delicious, there was no dance of women, not a word in Russian. And they didn't even warn about it. And when the driver drove us back, he said, "you had a low price, so you were sitting in the back, and those who were sitting in front paid more, what didn't you pay anymore?" and after the tour, when I wrote to Tatiana, she didn't even answer. Right, but why? We have already paid, but more than a little, right Tatiana??? If you want to enjoy Safari and the desert - choose another company for the tour.
