This experience was absolutely outstanding. Etrat was our guide. He was punctual, helpful, clear and kind. The vehicles used for transport are comfortable and clean. The activities are well organised and entertaining. The staff were always happy to answer questions and give suggestions on where to get the best views or photos. The desert safari in the vintage truck was a fun experience!! The camp afterwards was fantastic. The set up is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The food and drinks were generous and so delicious. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai for an amazing and unique experience!!

Exceptional Desert Experience Made Truly Special by Our Guide! I had a fantastic desert safari experience, but what truly made it exceptional was our guide, Asim Javed. From the moment he picked us up, he was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared fascinating insights about the desert ecosystem, wildlife, and Emirati heritage in a way that felt authentic and engaging — never scripted. His calm confidence and skill during the drive made the entire experience feel safe, relaxed, and enjoyable. What really stood out was how he thoughtfully brought the group together. He made sure everyone felt included and connected, creating a friendly, easy atmosphere rather than just a collection of individual guests. It added something very special to the day. The conservation-focused approach of the tour was impressive, and the traditional camp experience was beautifully done. The food was fantastic — generous, flavorful, and a real highlight of the evening. Above all, Asim’s genuine care and attention made the experience memorable. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable, answered every question with patience and enthusiasm, and made the entire day feel personal rather than transactional. If you’re considering this desert tour, I highly recommend it — and if you’re lucky enough to have Asim Javed as your guide, you’re in excellent hands. A truly memorable experience.

We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience with Platinum Heritage, which was gifted to us as a wedding surprise, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were deeply touched by the exceptional hospitality and the care that went into every single detail. Everything was so thoughtfully arranged, and the warmth we felt throughout the experience made it incredibly special and meaningful for us. The food was genuinely five-star; it was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The overnight stay was very well organized, creating a perfect staycation atmosphere in the middle of the desert. The facilities were spotless, with very clean toilets and all necessities well supplied, which made the experience even more comfortable. The entire team went above and beyond. The staff were extremely accommodating, approachable, and attentive at all times. The atmosphere in the evening was fantastic, with local performers and dancers who were engaging, entertaining, and added a wonderful cultural touch to the night. A special mention to our guide Bashar, who was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and made sure we were well taken care of until the very end of our experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a premium, authentic, and truly memorable desert safari experience in Dubai.

I had a very poor experience with Platinum Desert Safari, and it was absolutely not worth the money. The food was extremely disappointing poor quality, bad taste, and overall unacceptable for the price being charged. Unfortunately, the safari experience itself was also below standard and felt poorly managed. The only positive aspect of the experience was the staff, who were professional, polite, and deserving of praise. However, good service alone cannot make up for the low-quality food and overall disappointing safari experience. I visited once before about a year ago, and the experience was significantly better at that time. Sadly, things have changed for the worse. I gave it a second chance, but it was even more disappointing. I would not recommend this safari to anyone. It is not worth spending even a small amount of money. Save your time and money and look for better alternatives

We had an amazing time at the desert safari yesterday. We were assigned to Harish who was wonderful & very professional, very knowledgeable! He was punctual! He patiently drove us around the desert and we got to see so many sand gazelle, mountain gazelle & Arabian oryx.. we also few birds. The entire package was excellent - camel ride, falcon show, owl, a night performance by acrobats and a nice dinner. They customized a bit to cater to our allergies and we are very thankful! Icing on the cake was the star gazing when one of their awesome staff told us some fascinating stories abt stars. Overall and excellent experience we will always cherish! Highly recommend & the experience is totally worth it!
