Dune buggy rides My boyfriend and I had a great time with the tour! The customer service was very good at communicating with me about everything. Sand bashing was fun the driver was very skilled and spoke very good english and buggy rides were awesome. I could sit down and do the sandboarding which was nice cuz I was too scared to do it standing up. Would definitely recommend

Consistently outstanding trips I've been a few times to different buggy places, and this one I choose to return to! The buggy was phenomenal, wide base and 3000cc. The speed and control of these is just outstanding, such a good drive! Sultan and Soher showed us around, knew the routes, took loads of videos and photos to help document the trip from all angles! All in all, an amazing trip, such an honest place as well that doesn't seem like it's trying to catch you out or add hidden fees. With the entertainer voucher as well, even more of a deal! 100% would return to this place over and over.

Best Day Ever in Dubai This was an experience of a lifetime!!! Arabian Expedition provided the highest quality desert adventure for our family of five. It’s always a challenge to keep three teenagers excited on vacation but this was the highlight of our week in Dubai. We were picked up at our apartment and our guide Nawaz educated us on the exciting history of the UAE with much detail and knowledge. When we arrived at their air-conditioned office, we were offered Arabian coffee, dates, water, sodas etc. The dune buggy driving was wild and exciting but we felt safe the entire time. Driving past herds of wild camels was surreal. The sand surfing and dune bashing was tons of fun too. But the sand surfing is much harder than it looks! There was a photographer taking photos for us so we didn’t have to fuss with our cameras. Our dune buggy tour guide Tahir was outstanding! Don’t hesitate to book this if you’re planning a trip to Dubai. The desert is absolutely beautiful and I wish we had booked an evening or overnight adventure here too.

Must do! Incredible Amazing time! Flawless experience from our airport pickup to the lounge to the incredible dunes. The buggy ride was like driving on powder. Exhilarating! I thought I’d only let my husband drive but I felt comfortable enough too, so females don’t be shy. We saw camels and sand boarded too. I highly suggest if your coming to Dubai area that you do this! 🙂
