What an amazing tour, this is a must do if you are in Dubai. Our guide Nazir was amazing, very informative and totally focussed on our enjoyment of the tour. Driving thru the desert in the old Land Rovers was like transcending thru time. Was simply a great day. Nazir asked us for a highlight, we all couldn’t narrow it down. From the traditional headpiece, spotting the gazelles, being blown away by the falconry and finally the amazing finale of the dinner, how could you isolate one as a highlight. Thanks again for an amazing day Nazir!

A beautiful setting for Dinner, Guides Karim & Yannick were amazing, so knowledgeable and informative. The food was really lovely. Got to pet the Camels, you could ride them if you wanted to. The entertainment got the audience involved which was really good.

Fabulous experience in desert. Drove from Dubai out to the desert. Drove in Range Rovers and saw oryx and gazelles. Back to the cam for a terrific meat of local foods.

My experience at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve was truly exceptional. The heritage safari offered a perfect balance of culture, nature, and authenticity. From the breathtaking desert landscapes to the insightful stories shared by Khairy our amazingly friendly knowledgeable guide, every moment reflected the true essence of Arabian heritage. The vintage Land Rover journey, the traditional Bedouin camp, and the hospitality of the team made the experience both educational and memorable. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with the history and beauty of the desert. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and enriching experience in Dubai. A very laud shout out to Khairy, the perfect man for the job. His passion for what he is doing was so contagious. Thank you khairy for the wonderful photos.

Incredible experience! Our guide, Samy, picked us up from our hotel and spent the afternoon sharing tidbits of knowledge from the moment we left the city, all the way through until dinner. The vintage rovers, headscarf’s, dinner, entertainment and hospitality was incredible. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Samy and Platinum Heritage for the epic experience! Liz and Harry :)

My family and I had the best time! The team at Platinum Heritage were excellent, from picking us up to dropping us back and every interaction in between we felt totally looked after! We have dietary requirements which were a non-issue and we didn’t miss out on any of the incredible food. Karim our guide was sensational, he kept things moving and was a total joy to be hosted by! The whole team and experience was super professional and worth the investment. We absolutely loved the camel riding it was such an incredible experience to be out in desert with those majestic animals. Thankyou Platinum Heritage & Karim!

We had an amazing time on this desert safari. Our guide was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Pickup was on time and everything from start to finish ran so smoothly. The trip through the desert in the vintage Land Rover was a real highlight and really comfortable. It was calm and scenery was stunning, and we even saw some Arabian oryx, which was incredible. The falcon show at sunset was totally stunning, and the evening camp was so relaxed with really authentic food. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Oscar as our tour guide with Platinum Heritage, and he was nothing short of exceptional. His knowledge was impeccable — he shared fascinating insights about the desert, wildlife, and local culture in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. Beyond his expertise, Oscar was incredibly friendly, approachable, and accommodating, making sure everyone in our group was comfortable and having a great time. His warm personality truly enhanced the whole experience. If you’re considering the vintage Land Rover desert safari, I can’t recommend Oscar enough. He made our tour unforgettable, and anyone who has him as their guide is in for a real treat!

This was an incredible cultural experience for the whole family. It was a soft and scenic ride into the desert. The service we had from our guide was absolutely 5 stars. Abbas was a true gentleman who was absolutely full of knowledge and very entertaining. He made it a truly memorable experience. Thank you, Abbas! Our evening dinner at the camp site was such a unique experience, amazing service by all the staff and the food was 💯 5 star quality. Highly recommend this for your family holiday in Amazing Dubai!
