Memorable Experience

Unfortunately I can only choose one option to describe my evening desert safari tour in Abu Dhabi. But is wat exceptional, outstanding (also with customer service) , it REALMY exceeded my expectations, and worth so much more then it costs. I booked this trough my long stopover actions from Etihad, just thinking I need to spent my hours somewhere. But boy was I wrong. Pick up was on point. Then we went to the desert trip => the trill from the ride, our guide who was willing to make the most beautiful sunset pics, then got to hug the camel to end the tour with our location in the desert. That was just amazing. Henna, tea and coffee, huka pipe , amazing shows (fire, belly dancing and entertainment) and for the stomach an amazing BBQ. How impressed was I. Unfortunately because it was only a layover I had no time to get the Dirham, and I feel so bad about it. Cause our guide was worth a lot of tips. Hope I can make it up this way (and to tell people who book this trip, try to get some dirham) My guide was : Sunil Kumar. Hopefully he will get this praise. Thank you for making the end of a great holiday even more perfect. Could not have wished a better one. I hope I can make it back again. Great job to all !

Dunes, camels, quads and stars.....

This desert safari was brilliant, from the smoothness of booking and the up to date information provided by the company. Our driver Amir was fabulous, very informative and an amazing driver across the dunes which was exhilarating! The activities are run with safety in mind and everyone is so helpful and friendly. The food is a mixture of traditional and western cuisine so there really is something for everyone, and the entertainment was great. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone coming to Abu Dhabi.

Safari

We had safari trip and our driver, Ahmed, was professional and friendly. However, the overall safari wasn't as full of adrenaline as we expected, especially considering the price we paid. Still, thanks to Ahmed, it was a pleasant experience overall.

Perfect First Desert Safari - Huge Thanks to Ikram, Khalifa & Musallam!

Our global team from US, India, South Africa, and Zambia had the most incredible first-ever desert safari experience with Rayna Tours - it was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and full of energy, laughter, and care. A special shoutout to our amazing drivers Ikram, Khalifa, and Musallam, who made the entire adventure even more special. They were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and fun, ensuring everyone felt safe while still keeping the thrill alive during the dune bashing and other activities. Their warmth and humor turned what could have been a standard tour into a day we'll never forget. The entire experience - from pickup and desert drive to the sunset views, dinner, and performances - was seamless and beautifully arranged. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the desert. Thank you, Rayna Tours, for making our first safari in Abu Dhabi absolutely perfect!
