This Abu Dahbi Desert Safari trip is definitely highlight of our journey to Dubai and Abu Dahbi! It is super value for money - it started with camel feeding, followed by an excotic roller-coasterlike jeep desert safari ride, sand boarding, camel ride, bbq food with fabulous traditonal shows, and ended with a peacefuland relaxing star gazing in desert! Our tourguide Azees from OceanAir Travels is a super jeep driver! Every moment is our new experience in life! Highly recommend and and a must go! Most importantly, it is not that hot (unexpectedly) in this July weather.
