I can highly recommend Platinum Heritage. A colleague has just been with them and she said it was an amazing experience. I believe they are also in the Entertainer book

I have recommended Mr. Amin before, I know, but I think he does the best safari in Dubai. His number 050 7557596. Arabian Nights is also good but I don't like the fact that they waste a lot of time trying to sell you their DVD.
I have not done a safari myself but I am copying info on this that I kept (from seeing this question on facebook for instance):
- I heard good things about [b'>Arabian adventures[/b'> - sun downers.
- Expensive but best is [b'>Platinum heritage[/b'>: is not as touristic and provides you more with the authentic cultural experience I heard, more emphasis on the beauty of the nature. Does not serve alcohol.

DD and family went with Arabian Nights last week and they all enjoyed it. No complaints apart from the cost of a bottle of hops - 70 dhs. There are vouchers in the family Entertainer book.
