Very good experience, we loved it, it exceeded our expectations. Note the 4x4 for the dunes that has been spectacular, and the dinner, which was great. They also come to pick you up at the hotel and take you back, so everything super comfortable, you don't have to worry about anything. Moreover, naming our driver Ram, a great guy and a great photographer, has made us incredible photos and videos. He has also been super attentive and friendly at all times for anything we needed. Thank you so much for everything!!
