Dubai Fountain Lake Ride
The most memorable event in Dubai. The fountains are beautiful. A boat ride around the singing fountains is a must-do in Dubai. An incredible experience when you float on transparent water, in which millions of lights are reflected, and around grandiose majestic buildings, and magnificent dances of fountains. The spectacle is mesmerizing.

IMG Worlds of Adventure
Cool park in Dubai. Were a family with two children 8 and 14 years old. Everyone liked this park very much. There are many attractions, including extreme ones. There are many cafes in the park. It is very comfortable in the park, you do not stand under the scorching sun. Very healthy park, I advise you to visit.

[Free Souvenir] Desert Safari Experience in Dubai with BBQ Dinner
A very exciting excursion. I advise absolutely all guests of Dubai to visit. Riding on the dunes in a Land Cruiser jeep with a first-class driver, riding quad bikes (if desired, for an additional fee 250 dirhams per car for 30 minutes), sandboarding, camel riding, dinner in a Bedouin village and a magnificent fire show await you when you visit this excursion ... An incredible experience after this safari. We were very pleased. Many thanks to RAH Tourism and special thanks to Asarar for spending time on Safari.

Fantastic time to tour and explore Dubai. Good value for money. They organized absolutely everything for our boarding of the Burj Khalifa and thus everything was very quick and easy and we had enough time to continue exploring Dubai. Special thanks for the professionalism of the tour guide, who managed to fulfill all our wishes. We highly recommend this safari tour and give you 5 stars.

Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner
The most common is the so-called Dubai Safari or Jeep Safari. This tour takes place in the afternoon. Until the heat disappeared behind the cover of night, spacious, air-conditioned, specially equipped off-road vehicles took us to the picturesque and mysterious desert, where, before sunset, the virtuoso masters of bends on the dunes gave us fantastic sensations, conquering majestic ridges in shaving throws. At times, what is happening seems incredible, since, most likely, this can be seen on screens in fantastic action games. Watching the sunset on the Arabian hills is truly a magnificent performance!
