Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Dubai

Maybe I'm not a desert person at all, but this tour was a pretty big disappointment to me. Riding around in cars is fun in theory, but I wouldn't recommend it for those, that suffer from car sickness or ate something before the trip. Desert itself is only a vast sandy and windy area, like a beach without the fun part (sea, duh). The camp we went to later on looked rather cheap and carelessly thrown together. There were attractions like getting henna tattoos (cool), riding on a camel (no thanks, but I petted them), watching some dances (meh) and a dinner (again, meh). On the plus side it wasn't terribly expensive, but it still felt mostly like a wasted time to me. I guess I didn't manage my expectations well, but, on the other hand, no one in my group was especially impressed.

Well maintained. The place is beautiful. The rides are amazing. I would highly recommend it. One of the must do things in Dubai. Anyone going to Dubai for their first time should visit this place and especially the rides that several companies offer over the sand dunes.
