- yanas9990 contributionsLuxurious 🏜 desert experience in Dubai!I had a very enjoyable experience with the desert tour, Heritage Safari. All aspects of the tour were of a high standard, including the clean and comfortable vehicle. Our guide, Jay, was highly knowledgeable, intelligent, and well-educated. He was also very polite and helpful, providing us with a wealth of new information about the history of the UAE. We visited various camps in the desert, and the highlight of the tour was the unforgettable falcon show at sunset. We were served delicious cheese dates, cinnamon tea, and mocktails, which were a refreshing treat at that time. Upon arrival at the camp, we were warmly welcomed with traditional Arabic coffee and dates, and we also had the opportunity to have henna tattoo art drawn on our hands. The dinner provided at the camp was exquisite, with a wide variety of delectable dishes to choose from. All the facilities in the camp were meticulously organized to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of all guests. The tour concluded with an unexpected stargazing and astronomy session led by our knowledgeable guide, Jay. We indulged in a delightful spread of desserts, fruits, hot camel milk, cinnamon tea, and smoked shisha, making for a truly memorable experience.Thank you so much for that unforgettable desert experience,additional thanks to Neil and guide Jay. YOU ARE THE BEST TEAM 👌Written 14 March 2024

- 660Traveller0 contributionsWhat a perfect morning!My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the morning falconry and nature desert safari today. Everything from pre trip information/confirmation, pick up and knowledgeable and very caring staff throughout highlights what a quality company you have booked with. I cannot recommend the falconry element highly enough. 4 beautiful birds were shown, up and personal, with ample opportunity to ask questions and take pictures. We got to fly three of them, such a rare insight into a very historic element of life in the area. Loved it. The breakfast was a delight too, beautifully fresh and authentic and served in a gorgeous tented camp. A camel ride came next. It was brief and the handler did not offer any information but answered any questions very happily. And then we had a drive out into the conservation area. We saw gazelles and oryx and just how vast and peaceful the desert is. But equally, by the time the sun was coming up, what a hard environment to live in. The vintage Land Rover was a great vehicle to travel in, and was surprisingly comfortable. The very lovely scarves our guide kindly tied for us prior to the trip helped with wayward hair! We got to keep them and a really nice metal water bottle. I hoped it would be a great trip and it was. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you especially to our guide Houston. He really made the trip. If I came back to Dubai, I would book it again.Written 11 March 2024
- lauraioanab20190 contributionsPerfect safari tour, extraordinary guides, beautiful setting, authentic experienceWe did a lot of research before booking the safari. I wanted to experience something as close as possible to the authentic life in the dessert, and I must say that this tour did not disappoint. It was perfect! From the very first moment when we were picked-up from the hotel, until the late hours in the night. Special thanks to our guide John! We learnt a lot from him, he is very knowledgeable and it was truly a pleasure to have him as our guide. We especially enjoyed his funny side, he made us laugh all the way through the entire tour. Regarding the safari, everything was carefully planned and organised. The food in the bedouin camp was amazing. The kids enjoyed the camel ride and the astronomy lessons. I truly recommend this tour, you won't regret it.Written 6 March 2024
- 850tobiasw0 contributionsAmazing and very recommendableWe booked the package with dinner in the desert, astronomy lecture, overnight stay in the desert and balloon tour at sunrise. The whole experience was very well planned and arranged. The pickup from the hotel was well managed with several emails and confirmations. The food choices were given to us in advance and the pickup and drop-off were very convenient. The food was amazing, maybe a little too much food, as we couldn't finish the desert after the astronomy hour at around midnight. The astronomy lecture with "Eddy the astronomer" is very recommendable. Very entertainingly he showed us the most interesting and beautiful spots in the sky. This lecture will be different every night, as there are different constellations and things to see during the year. Which makes every experience unique. The most amazing part of the tour by far was the Balloon ride at sunrise. Very professional Captains Andrew and Vytas, incredible views and a little adventure, as you don't know exactly where you will land. ALthough expensive, it is worth the money! Our guide Harish, who stayed with us during the whole experience took very well care of us, adding to the experience with a few anekdotes about the city and the country. In all, very recommendable experience. Thank you!Written 5 March 2024
- F9050AGdeem0 contributionsI rate this in top 2 UAE tourist attractions - a ‘must’ to visit!Yesterday a friend and I took a Platinum Heritage sunset safari tour. I am a resident of Abu Dhabi and it was my friend's last day before returning back home, and it certainly gave her memorable lasting impressions of the UAE. I can honestly say we were both blown away from start to finish with how Platinum Heritage organise their tour, and it's obviously reiterated in all the reviews. The tour is meticulously planned, but everyone we encountered made us feel we were the first people they were welcoming that day. Appreciation goes to everyone working at Platinum Heritage for how special they make the visit feel. Our guide Mohammed Afzal, is a credit to Platinum Heritage. He is knowledgeable and personable and he went above and beyond to make everyone in our group welcome, cannot praise him enough! I highly recommend this very special tour, which will not only enlighten you on traditional Arab culture, but also teach you about the conservation of the dessert. This would be in my top 2 UAE attractions to visit, along with The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. A truly memorable and special experienceWritten 4 March 2024
- Trail228597466690 contributionsSuper Safari for a first time in the Desert.The Safari was absolutely everything I had hoped for! Runel was the most amazing tour guide. I have rarely met someone that was so knowledgeable about the desert, animals, Dubai and UAE, also culturally. A very kind person as well and funny. The Safari I chose was perfect as it only lasts a few hours. You are picked up and dropped off to your hotel. The only small thing I would change is adding more food options for picky eaters, it was nice that they offered sandwich options for the children as well. Everything else was super amazing!Written 3 March 2024
- 601jacquelinek0 contributionsWonderful time for all agesMy daughter organised this whilst we were visiting her in Dubai and know she did a lot of research as she wanted us to have the best experience. It was amazing right from the moment Saif collected us from the hotel. He was very knowledgeable about the history of DXB and shared it with us on the drive to the camp. He clearly loves what he does. Once at the camp we were then transferred to land rovers for the drive which was exhilarating. We had lovely refreshments whilst watching the falconry show. Back at the camp we were served plenty of delicious authentic food and drinks. The entertainment was very engaging too as was the star gazing. Would thoroughly recommend it as it gives you a real flavour for the old Dubai and is so well organised.Written 2 March 2024
- C4059IBcindyt0 contributionsAmazing Desert with Platinum HertiageI was recommended by my Singapore friend to take a guided tour with Platinum Heritage and I would say this is the highlight of my Dubai trip, excellent service from Noman, he was superb, giving detailed explanation on the heritage of Dubai at the same time keeping us safe and comfortable. Pickup from prompt, sunset view is unforgettable. The tour was well planned, dinner was superb (Amazing lamb & grilled chicken) and the view is stunning! The falcon was interesting too and I would highly this tour if you are coming to Dubai. Do make sure you have sufficient warm clothing as the weather drops fast in the evening and night.Written 1 March 2024

It’s sometimes a fine line between a “canned” experience and a “well-oiled machine”. Platinum Heritage falls well into the “well-oiled machine” category. The package they offer is very well honed, extremely well organized and absolutely luxurious! Even within that, there is room for personal attention and honouring individual quirkiness!
Erik was superb as a host – so full of knowledge, humour. He taught us so much about the culture of Dubai, the Bedouins, life in the desert, and a variety of life tips - with fun and flair! We came away with: “YOLO” (You Only Live Once!), “Nothing is Impossible” (for Dubai is the city where impossible doesn’t exist), and the ability to find the Northern Star.
Most notable was the personal attention, that seemed to flow out of Erik’s genuine love of people and desire to make our experience the best it could be. I was fearful about my ability to ride a camel (especially since I’d previously been unable to master a horse), but keen to try. He was careful and attentive and helped me achieve success!
Hard to say which was more memorable: becoming the “Exotic Dames of the Desert” (as a friend coined us, upon seeing us on camels), sipping sparkling date juice while munching on fresh strawberries as we learned about Charlie the Falcon and his able handler Patrick, enjoying the luxurious and absolutely stunning setting for our exquisite dinner, or gazing at our henna laced hands the next day to remind us it was not all a dream. It truly was a magical, memorable experience we’re very grateful to have had.
A very special thanks to Erik – for all the little ways he made an excellent experience outstanding!

We’ve literally just finished this tour and WOW! Incredible from start to finish. Our tour guide was Shane who, as far as we’re concerned, is the creme de la creme. He’s funny, witty, friendly and extremely knowledgable. He was also very proactive during the activities, thinking of everything before we had a chance to process anything. For me, he is what made the tour!
The tour itself was A class. We got picked up in a comfortable Range Rover from the hotel and made the short journey into the desert. Along the way, Shane was full of random bits of trivia about the country and things we passed as we went. When we got into the desert, we were fortunate enough to see a few animals followed by the falcon show. Really incredible! The camel ride was amazing and the guys more than willing to take pictures for us. Dinner was excellent, hats off to the chef! The fireworks display great as well. The pictures and video that they took throughout were presented to us at the end and, I suggest you buy!
All in all, definitely worth every single penny (especially if you get Shane!).

From beginning to end it surpassed all our expectations. Our guide Khairi was really knowledgable and helpful throughout the day, delivering a truly personal experience. From the luxury Range Rover to the stainless steel water bottles and head scarfs, to the personalised video of the whole day, every detail had been considered.
We enjoyed being in the nature reserve and were fortunate to spot gazelle and oryx during the tour. We were guided by Khairi throughout the whole experience at a nice pace, no rushing and with plenty of opportunities for photos along the way, but more importantly time to take in the moments together, like the amazing sunset after watching a falconry demonstration. We then embarked on a camel ride through the desert and arrived at the new private camp, which was very luxurious and felt like our own oasis in the desert. After a delicious 6-course meal, we watched an amazing acrobatic and fire performance and also a stargazing experience into the clear desert skies, before heading back to the city.
We would highly recommend Platinum Heritage and our guide Khairi to anyone thinking of going on desert safari in Dubai.
A once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget.

Hi F1824IHmattl,
We're thrilled that your desert safari with us exceeded expectations. Your wonderful feedback is greatly appreciated.
Khairi, our guide, is a true gem, and your praise for his knowledge and personalized service means a lot. We take pride in every tour detail, including the luxury Range Rover, stainless steel water bottles, and head scarfs, all contributing to your satisfaction.
Exploring the nature reserve, spotting gazelle and oryx, and capturing memories through photos with Khairi's guidance must have been incredible.
Your evening at the private camp, with a 6-course meal and captivating entertainment, sounded like a true desert oasis. Stargazing under the clear desert skies must have been magical.
Your recommendation of Platinum Heritage and Khairi as a guide is highly valued, and we're grateful for your kind words. It was an honor to be part of your unforgettable experience, and we eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you back for more adventures.

We booked the safari as one of the last events on our holiday and for our daughters birthday. Best decision we made. The booking was seamless, Ali, our driver who was fantastic, helped us see the animals in the wild and was a great tour guide. The falcon presentation, camel ride and dinner were all up to the standard promised. This is very well run operation, staff are well trained and there is a high focus on the customer experience. There were three of us so we have the Range Rover with Ali to ourselves. This was a highlight for us.

What a great way to end out Dubai trip. We had an excellent time with this safari. We had Saeed as our driver/ tour guide. We was knowledgeable and provided so much information that was unknown to us. Above all he was very professional and didn’t feel rushed at all. Felt very personalized. When we got to the dinner in the cabanas we had Michael as our butler / steward. He was very pleasant and full of smiles. He made us the best coffee. Oscar have such a great explanation about the stars and formations. Everything about this experience was 5 stars. Although some people might think the price might be more than they would like to spend on a safari I recommend splurging on this one. Thank you all who made it happen.
I recommend buying the photos and video from the professionals there. It’s like have your personal photo shoot the entire time.

Our tour guide Jacob was so informative and passionate about the Arabian desert and Dubai itself. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with him. The ethos of Platinum Luxury Dubai Desert Safari too is a welcome change.
If you want personal exclusive experience. Our guide, Jacob was very knowledgeable and helpful, we highly recommend him. This is different from other tours that offer here in Dubai. There are no dune bashing, belly dancing, ATV riding and alcohol. This tour offered a lot more than we expected. The exclusive desert experience, starting from picking us up in luxury Range Rover 4WD, Jacob explained about the history of Dubai on the way to the desert. Once we arrived at the desert, he took us into the conservation area, where we spotted lots of birds and desert wildlife like Oryx and Gazelle with the explanation about them. We had lots of chances to take photos and videos, no hurrying or rushing. We were given head scarfs and water bottles on the way to the falcon show where we were served with fresh strawberries and sparkling apple juice and sunset canapé, while watching the falconer explaining about the history of falcon in UAE and the knowledge about falcon. Then we went on 15 mins camel ride to the dinner campsite, where we were warm welcomed and served with 6 course al la carte dinner and homemade refreshments. We were assigned with private table under canopy and waiter. The show after dinner was amazing acrobatic and fire dance.

Absolutely fantastic experience!
We took our 4 year old daughter on the Range Rover + 6 course dinner safari on our last night in Dubai.
Our guide and driver Medhi was absolutely lovely. His English is better than most people's in the UK! He is a very knowledgeable guide and was able to answer all questions we had about Dubai.
The desert drive was beautiful, we saw antelope and gazelles roaming.
We were kitted out with headscarves and then made our way round the desert.
Then we were taken to a falconry show. Again, the bird keeper was v knowledgeable. We were able to take our own photos with the bird and served canapés, strawberries on ice and fizzy fruit juice.
We then hopped on some camels for a ride. My daughter absolutely LOVED the Camel ride, as did we.
We were then offered Arabic coffee to drink on arrival and rose water to freshen up our hands.
The 6 course meal was fantastic! You choose your preferences before you set off for the desert. My daughter was served 2 choices of kids meals (nothing is too much trouble for them!)
Unfortunately, after moving to the seating area our 4 year old daughter became extremely tired. So we made the decision to head back to the hotel.
We would absolutely 100% go on this desert safari again when we next visit Dubai!
You will not be disappointed!

The desert drive was beautiful, we saw antelope and gazelles roaming.
We were kitted out with headscarves and then made our way round the desert.
Then we were taken to a falconry show. Again, the bird keeper was v knowledgeable. We were able to take our own photos with the bird and served canapés, strawberries on ice and fizzy fruit juice.
We then hopped on some camels for a ride. My daughter absolutely LOVED the Camel ride, as did we.
We were then offered Arabic coffee to drink on arrival and rose water to freshen up our hands.
The 6 course meal was fantastic! You choose your preferences before you set off for the desert. My daughter was served 2 choices of kids meals (nothing is too much trouble for them!)
Unfortunately, after moving to the seating area our 4 year old daughter became extremely tired. So we made the decision to head back to the hotel.
We would absolutely 100% go on this desert safari again when we next visit Dubai!
You will not be disappointed!

This is a must do for Dubai! Our tour guide was Tato (who spoke English & Spanish) and he did an excellent job telling us about the culture and history of the locals, we got a chance to ride the camels at sunset over the sand dunes, and old school open Range Rover that drove us to the little oasis for a romantic dinner with a fire show at the end. The 6 course meals was delicious, plenty of choices available and everything is made fresh right in front of you. For the fire show you will be sitting in lounging area where you can do shisha (aka hookah) and have your dessert. To close the night we did some star gazing and Tato gave us some knowledge on the constellations.
Special thanks to Tato for going above and beyond, and making this an unforgettable experience.

The experience was magical, it's the best escape from the loud city. A beautiful and serene ambiance that will take you stress away. I personally love how we watched the Falcon show during sunset and riding the camel just on time to catch the best part of the sunset. The dinner was very nice shoutout to the chef who was very accommodating that time and was able to have a small chitchat while we're touring around the cabana. The mocktails are nice as well, as a non-alcoholic type of drinker this is the best while watching the fire show and aerial acrobatics. Our tour guide was spot on and very knowledgable the whole experience was 101% perfect, Thanks Platinum Heritage, I'll be sure to be back soon. :)

The trip was beyond amazing. We get to experienced a VIP treatment in the desert. From the pickup to the drop off to the office, Hamza was very accommodating and professional.
After the bird santuary, we were suppose to go directly to the Falcon show but we stopped and took photos of the dunes, and it was so unbelievable. You will be amazed on how the sand dunes were formed, how the people behind this can maintain the dunes.
We were welcomed in the tent to watch the falcon demonstration and it was more intimate, more classy since we were served with sparkling juice, strawberries and canapes. I loveeeee the goat cheese praline, that was my favorite and even if I do not eat raw fish, I still tried the smoked salmon with caviar. Waseem gave us a very informative demonstration on how they train and technically the falcons was used an a hunting animal back in the days.
My favorite part is the food, yes the food. 😁 from the starters, to the salad, then the main course and the dessert.
The aerial show and the Flaming Sands of Arabia was perfect to end the day. It was very entertaining and show stopper.
Overall, I had a great time and I cannot thank them all enough for the service they provided to us. From the conservation guide to the servers, to the chef, to everybody. We will not be able to compare it to any desert safari tours.
