Exceeded expectations! The drive was fun, cool to see and pet camels, the camp was cute, and food was fine. BBQ chicken was the best. Henna, shisha, tea, holding a falcon, a short camel ride were all included. Camels were friendly! Sledding down the dune was available too, though it was kinda slow, not like sledding in snow. The real standout were the performers. The whirling guy and fire guy were incredible and belly dancer was good, too. Nice car and friendly driver, Shafeek also took great pictures. Dune bashing was fun and not too wild. A fun evening and an interesting and easy way to experience the desert from Abu Dhabi, about an hour drive. I didn't bring kids but the whole evening would be great for kids or a family.
Great time

Excellent tour. It's been an amazing desert experience. Shafeek is a great driver (in the dunes with the 4x4 has been impressive), with good music, and great photographer, by the way. I recommend it 100%
100% recommend this tour

Fantastic evening with a crazy car ride, a beautiful sunset, (our guide even took photos of us) delicious food with excellent veggie options too and a fab show to finish off. You don’t have to ride the camel, or even go near them. Salam, our tour guide, was brilliant and very friendly too! Super affordable for the events of the evening. Thank you!!
Amazing Experience!!!

This was a super fun excursion and Salam was a great guide and excellent photographer!! My favorite part was definitely the sunset photo shoot and the camels! I was worried that I wouldn’t like anything at the BBQ buffet but it was great. Everything was very entertaining and organized. Hotel pickup was on time, although the camp was about an hour and a half from my hotel in the Corniche district. Highly recommend! Great value for the money!
