What a day! The vast number of Arabian oryx was a surprise. Seeing them behind a fence was ok but we were sure hoping to see them roaming the dunes. After some rather anxious minutes with a few gazelles and some sand fish…there they were! Oryx on the red sand and munching on native plants. It was just great! We had a pleasant but a rather new guide who did not know too much about the birds or plants which would have been nice. The oryx were outstanding so that was why we were there. Lunch at the resort was really great and we enjoyed the view of the water hole as a few gazelles strolled by. If you want to see oryx then this is the trip for you!

A wonderful experience that helps preserve the desert instead of ‘dune bashing’. Ali was a great guide and I learned much from him.

The tour guide, John, was excellent. Provided lots of information about the desert environment and wildlife. He stopped at some nice photo spots and took some excellent picture of my wife an me. The breakfast was great and in a nice setting. This was one of our best tours in Dubai.

Was a very nice morning seeing what the real desert had to offer conservation area with oryx’s being bred. Hotel breakfast was excellent.would recommend this trip although not cheap as some of the cost goes towards the upkeep of the area

This was an awesome with a very knowledgeable tour guide. The desert and wildlife in the UAE were wonderful to get to see and experience. My only real complaint with this tour is that the cost was a bit high for what it involves. It was the most expensive activity that we booked for our week and was shorter and involved less then many of the others.

Fabulous ! An incredible experience not to be missed. Discover the desert, the fauna, the flora in the luxury of a comfortable 4x4. We had booked the tour just for our couple. Our guide, Ndopu, spoke perfect French. He was of great help in understanding the botanical and animal information which he generously explained to us. A pleasant feeling of respect for nature emerges from this experience. The copious breakfast in the superb luxury hotel lost in the middle of the desert allowed us to be so close to the gazelles that we couldn't have dreamed of better. The experience of a lifetime that we will never forget. Thanks to Platinum Heritage, thanks to Ndopu.

What a great day in the desert! We saw lots of birds, learned about the desert plants and got up close to the oryx and gazelles. Even saw some fox tracks and snakes burrows. Oscar was the best guide with a wealth of knowledge on Dubai and the desert reserve, and also really fun to bird with.

Fabulous trip I would definitely recommend, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable made the whole experience so much nicer. It was lovely to see the animals running free in a safe environment. The breakfast was lovely with so much choice, there would definitely be something there to suit everyone.

A wonderful trip to see the real Dubai. So very well organised from start to finish . Our guide Medhi was brilliant and added so much to the trip with his knowledge and background to living in Dubai. Would highly recommend this experience
