5.00What a blast! They pack so many experiences into an afternoon and evening! We went with kids and had a wonderful time. We had a wonderful driver who gave us such a thrill and made the whole experience seamless! The camel farm is so fun! The dune bashing and sand boarding was a blast. The evening in the village was magical and great for the whole family!
Highly recommend

5.00Incredible experience overall. Make sure you don't have anything to eat about 3 hrs prior to the dune bashing. You will be thrown around the car....it is super exhilarating and thrilling. Petting the camels and feeding them was an adorable experience. Sand boarding was very fun too. The biggest issue that I personally faced was climbing back up after boarding down....a good and steep hike where you have no traction and the sand always wins. But again, I saw few people going on 2 or 3 slides ....so it's really an individual strength situation. The ultimate experience was at the end at the camp with the buffet and the 3 dance shows. How energy performance!! Our guide and driver Aziz was very nice, and an expert driver in the dunes. He was patient and took our pics we requested. The only thing is he has a huge language barrier that a lot of people found hard to understand. Highly recommend this adventure. Bring hats, sunshades and sunscreen....
6 stars
