Had a good tour of Abu Dhabi with Amir. He took us around and showed us some beautiful monuments. Gave us enough time to look around thoroughly and take pictures. Definitely worth the cost of the trip.

Amir is the best guide who treats the guest well, I recommend to visit here, they have the clean washroom, food is good and tasty, they have the good veg options.
The bashing was amazing.

We had very pleasant Abu Dhabi Tour with Mr Amir and he had been very cordial and polite. The overall tour was worth every penny we spent.

The service was fast and we got bumped with massive WhatsApp messages and bothered to be in time earlier but must wait 30 minutes in the hot weather till enter the boat.what we get was not at all what was described. No fountain no waterfall, silly shows from a unprofessional man in a small area where kids were scared from! Food was taken away while show was upstairs. We didn’t eat! Very spicy, not for European at all.
Styropor and plastic plates and cups, not environmentally friendly also.
Bad for us as travel agent to get such bad experience for this good reviewed company! Not recommend at all!
I guess these reviews are all bought, not real!

Fabulous desert experience. The welcome was nice, the camel ride, the dunes with the jeep, but above all the quad ride was fantastic. Gorgeous scenery and our guide Taimoor was amazing taking us around and took some amazing photos. A thousand thanks. Fabulous experience

Really fun time with my two friends they even took pictures and videos of us and we’re very kind when our friend fell over. Would strongly recommend. 10/10

Amazing quad bike experience in the open desert, our guide Moiz took excellent videos & photos (with our mobiles) to capture the moment!

Don't use their services for desert safari.
Horrible experience.
1. Dune bashing- was a scam: just pickup at entry and drop at camp site. Total 3 minutes without any actual dune bashing.
2. Smelly & dirty toilets at the camp - no maintainace and cleaning- super bad management
3. Food- stale, uncooked food.
Lot of people given tickets to camp and people running at foo.

The search for a best Desert Safari Tour operator winded up at Desert Lion Tourism. The dune bash given by Driver Seif was magnificent when comparing with my previous trip with other tour operators. The Belly dance, Fire dance, Tanoura dance etc had 2 performers which added to the feel of the evening. Not to forget, the staffs were so friendly and provided decent services. And the package was so budget friendly. Food was okay but needs improvement as Curry dishes and Kababs weren't upto the mark. Washrooms could have been better. My family had a great evening. 4/5 stars to Desert Lion.

the camel that lasts 2 minutes
the paying quad if you want to go a little further otherwise just go quad biking in circles for 100 meters, we arrived when the sun was already setting.everything is paid extra.unacceptable

Do not recommend at all. The car that took us into the desert was held together by tape.
The food tasted like sponge. The quality was so bad. Not worth the price at all.
If you take a normal package, you get drink served from brands you’ve never heard of. Even the water bottle brand was unheard of. Whereas a ‘VIP’ package has normal water and normal soft drinks. The inequality is real.

SCAM!
Very bad!
they take the money, very bad service, the food was not good, the show was very soft, we had to pay to ride a quad in the dunes! On the other hand to turn in circles it is free, we have been parasitized by sellers of all kinds of objects, the camel 10 meters free and to climb a dune it is 70 AED SCAM!

I had an incredible experience with Desert Lion Tour to Abu Dhabi. The bus was clean, well climatized with a great driver. The tour guide Mr Khan was well educated to highlight the architecture of Abu Dhabi, history of the UAE and the White Mosque. He was also flexible to react to customer's needs without compromising on time. My major objective was the White Mosque and I had ample time to explore it. Only one change I would suggest: instead of Ferrari World to Formula 1 race course.

Dune wash driver was expert and he knows how to make a small ride thrilled/adventurous. Food was OK quad bike charges are high for a small area better to go sharjah Hatta road for quad biking. Unnecessary rule for younger kids that less then 16 years can't driver quad bike in such a small area.

Really good tour, we got a great deal on groupon and the dune bashing and sunset photo opportunity made the trip! The driver was very kind and professional. The food was tasty and plentiful. You do stop at the quadbike place for 45 mins so you can add that on it if you want but no one forces you. Otherwise you can just chill and drink an ice cold orange juice. There are a lot of people offering to sell you things throughout the trip but we just kept saying no and they didn't bother us again. The sand boarding: there were only two boards in the end and no one to show or help you which I think is the only negative, but for the price we paid I was very satisfied with what we got so it didn't matter. Also we booked last min (24hrs before) and they were very good at organising it for us. No one made me write a good review as has been noted on other reivews, we genuinely had a great time. Thank you to the team at desert lion tourism!

Overnight Desert safari experienced under Desert Lion Tourism.
1. Self drive, 3 of us was picked up and dropped to desert location by Saif without any briefing where to go what to do, staff are just friendly when selling their merchandise and services. Too lost but since we paid for it and non-refundable, we just tried to figure out by ourselves what we can do that night. We even envied to other agency nearby as their coordinator keep coming back on their table asking them, talking to them.and helping their staff. Special mention to Iconic Tourism (good job).
2. After the show, hundreds of people left and only 3 of us remained seated and waiting. AGAIN, lost and wondering what was the next step, too many staff left just roaming around, cleaning, chatting but nobody approach and help us. We talked to 4-5 several staffs asking what are we gonna do as we are staying overnight and luckily one staff said that since we are just 3 doin an overnight, we can just stay in the concrete tent.
3. So no private tent, no bonfire and the reason why we just decided to leave that night are these photos, the tent was dirty, there are empty boxes, garbage and used plates on the floor while our beds and blankets already set on the floor, and they give us pillows that they usually used as a seat. Maybe they forgot the we still have pandemic.
Overall, we wasted hefty amount of money as we paid almost triple compare to other offer of a basic evening desert safari and we had an unhappy experience.: (
Update: Saif just called me now threatening me that he will take legal action if i will not remove the review on Desert King Tourism site, so i removed it, by the way, you can check the logo of Desert King Tourism and Desert Lion Tourism. Almost same they just change the “LION” and “KING” word. Same person.
We are not misleding people, from yourself you know Im telling the truth, when we called you, we are not even asking for a refund, we are asking if possible to just do it other day when their are more campers but you said no we have to use the voucher same day. When we approached on of your staff, he said that you do provide tent but since we are family and only 3 people he said that he can offer that empty room, so he placed 4 beds and 3 pillows and show us, look how dirty that was. Who will sleep their, but instead of you apologizing us this is what we can have from you.what a traumatizing first time experience. Aside from making us a liar, you would like us also to make up a story that I am a thief! What an exceptional rude service!
