    The experience was overall enjoyable. The communication with the tour guide/operator was overall efficient and sufficient; except on pick up I was left behind. Probably going clearly over all participants' roll or attendance before departing would prevent such issues and no participant would be left behind or missed. Clear and frequent reminders to not consume food before the experience would be greatly recommended. I did not get the most of the experience because I felt sick early on. The camel ride was good but should be 5-10 minutes longer. Providing water and seats at resting shelter was appreciated but offering coffee, tea or refreshing cold drinks would be a great addition to do for the participants. Thank you again for such a great experience. Thank you so much Tiger for your assistance throughout the adventure and for being our tour guide.

    Amazing experience made even better by our fantastic fearless driver Sherif, who owned the dunes with his skillful driving. Both vehicle and driver presented very well, would definitely recommend! Well done Sherif.
