Excellent tour into the desert with fantastic guide Mr Khairul. Knowing that we prefer wildlife photography, Khairul did everything he could to get us the shots we wanted. It was a great experience photographing desert animals.
Tour ended with a wonderful breakfast.
Thank you Khairul and Platinum heritage tours for the awesome time we had.

Perfect morning in the dessert
Passenger64359830190, 21-12-2022
We booked the Range Rover conservation experience with breakfast and were blown away by the morning.
We were picked up pronto by our guide Oscar who gave us a fabulous insight into Dubai as we drove to the dessert. He was all morning an excellent guide. We were greeted at the dessert with traditional headscarves, able to take photos with the land rovers. Then we drove off in the dessert. It was perfect for us as we could hop in and out of the car whenever we wanted. Oscar was determined to show us the amazing wildlife and my husband got to hold a sand fish. We saw Gizelles, Oryx and other animals. We had so much fun walking barefoot in the sand and seeing the sights. It was great to learn about the positive changes too. Then we were taken for the most amazing breakfast. So much choice of hot and cold foods and then we were driven home and dropped off before noon! Just a day we will never forget.

Hot air balloon adventure, camel riding and traditional hot breakfast with great guide
Monika1022, 16-10-2022
We have just been on the most amazing hot air balloon adventure followed by breakfast at a traditional campsite.
Saif was our driver and guide for the whole journey. He was just amazing. Extremely knowledgeable about the area and answered all questions that we asked him. He had such a fun personality that it was a pleasure to go on this trip with him.
Everything was done to punctuality and we were made comfortable and welcome by Saif, the balloon captain and everyone who looked after us at breakfast including Saif himself.
The entire trip is a truly memorable one and made more special by Saif and his warm personality. My husband and I will definitely come back again and do the same trip and will ask to have Saif again as our guide.

5 star Wildlife Conservation Tour and Breakfast in the Desert
Lisa_M, 07-10-2022
I cannot select just ONE highlight. This tour was one of the best (from beginning to end) I have ever had. Such a beautiful project (wildlife conservation efforts), a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide (Leesa from South Africa) and an amazing HUGE breakfast that was soooo good! Thank goodness it was at the end of the tour as I needed a nap after this breakfast. The menu in the photo was for items you wanted to order. This was in addition to numerous other items available on a buffet. After you place your order from the menu, they still offered pancakes, waffles and french toast if you were still hungry. Beautiful area for breakfast!
There were hundreds of animals but the windows didn't allow for that great of photos and of course with all the sand, we didn't lower the windows. The manmade lake has fish and attracted numerous species of birds. I went in August (low season) so I was fortunate enough to be the only tourist with the tour guide and loved our one on one tour. She was so knowledgeable and absolutely seemed to love her job and shared my love for wildlife. Highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Dubai

A Magical Tour
Ronnie B, 01-10-2022
We did the Conservation Drive and Breakfast at Al Maha tour, with our guide from Colombia - who was very friendly and spoke very good English, was clearly knowledgable about the conservation work going on in this area.
A promp 7am pick-up and then off into the Desert - lots of chat along the way and then we saw Gazelle, Oryx and lots of birds. Really nice to hear how the area is being preserved and cultivated for the future.
Then it was a lavish breakfast at Al Maha, where they wanted us to eat sooooo much beautiful food with 6* service.
Then it was a drive back to our hotel and time to say goodbye - really enjoyed our trip into the unspoilt Desert area of Dubai and would recommend this tour.

Do yourself a favour and make sure you tick this tour off.

A comfy desert tour
Travel_Happy3, 15-07-2022
I really enjoyed this tour. Pick up was very punctual, the 4x4 was very comfy and classy. My tour guide Lionel was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave me heaps of information about the different areas of Dubai during our drive to the desert. The desert was beautiful and it was lovely to see Arabian oryx, gazelles and large lizards. Breakfast at Al Maha was so tasty and they even brought me out a birthday cake for my special day.
