Excellent driver by all standards, nice guy, will love to go no another tour with him. He is very careful on the road and does not go beyond speed limits. He takes safety very serious as well.

The safari tour overall was amazing. I highly recommend the experience. The trip started a little rocky with some vehicle problems that were quickly resolved. The tour guides made up for the inconvenience with great customer service and an awesome experience on the dunes. The entertainment at the dessert dinner was awesome! Our group was disappointed when we were told that the dinner experience would culminate with some delicious lamb chops. It was later determined that would not be the case. ☹️☹️☹️

Our guide was great and everything well Organizer. It was a funny trip in the dessert without any stressful safari riding. Everything calm. Bee‘s , Dam and Hatta hills gave us a wider view of Dubai.

Very nice trip! The driver was very kind, helpful, polite and very informative (he told us about the desert, animals, arab culture, Hatta mountain, etc) I can easily claim that it was his absolute priority to do everything it takes for us to enjoy this trip. First we drove from Dubai to the desert and then continue our trip to the Bee garden (very interesting visit and their selection of authentic honey is amazing - we bought three jars of delicious honey!) and Hatta mountain. The scenery was beautiful (see the pictures), weather was amazing and breakfast very tasty! Definitely recommend!

Musthafa was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable on the sites and surroundings. He was entertaining and helpful at all times. Could not fault his service The trip was interesting but had more driving that anticipated, we stayed in dubai and it was almost 4 hours of driving in a half day session and the heritage site was shut due to construction work. Would recommend but check the driving distance to hatta from your start location and ensure everything is open along the way!

It is a little hard to grade this trip as I will explain later. We had an excellent guide and were kept well informed about pick up. The trip across the desert was interesting and our guide pointed out various interesting plants. We felt no need for 'sand bashing' and asked him to drive slowly so we could see and experience the early morning desert, he was happy to do as we asked though it was a pretty bumpy ride anyway! Breakfast was good, a lovely spot, clean and litter free. We were able to watch birds and see some desert plants. We then went on to the bee farm. It seems a bit of an odd option and we felt it might be just a 'filler' to break the trip to Hatta. It was actually very interesting with a very professional and in depth tour, followed, of course, by the opportunity to buy. We did shop as it seemed a worthwhile enterprise. A quick stop at the Hatta dam and then on to Hatta Heritage village which is where the problems arose. While we were admitted, everything was locked up and apart from wandering round the outside there was nothing to see, all the exhibits and rooms were padlocked, all we could see were courtyards. Our guide was surprised and was told on asking that there was a staff shortage, he was very apologetic. As this was a significant part of the tour we asked for a partial refund but Orient Tours refused. The small print says that they reserve the right to cancel parts of the tour but they did not do this and insisted that the village was open. I suppose if being allowed through the entrance counts as open then they are technically correct but even when we sent pictures of padlocked doors they insisted that the village was open. In the end Viator stepped in and kindly offered a partial refund for the missed part of the tour. So in conclusion, this is a good tour, especially if you actually get to see Hatta heritage Village properly, the guide was excellent but we cannot recommend Orient Tours, so maybe look for a different company offering this.

The Hatta tour was very good, and the driver/guide was very friendly and informative. Unfortunately the dam was closed for maintenance, As an alternative we visited a camel farm, which was very jnteresting. Loved the driving through real desert with breakfast which was a fantastic experience, and would have liked to have seen more even more desert. Overall a really good excursion to experience other areas and scenery of Dubai.
