We had a great time watching the sun rise over the desert. Our tour guide, Abdul Rasheed, was helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. It was a great way to spend the morning and each stop by adequately timed. Being able to see a camel farm as well as ride a camel and sand board rounded out the trip really well. I would highly recommend this excursion and it was a great way to spend the morning.
Amazing Sunrise Safari!

We had a beautiful morning in the desert with this sunrise safari. The Jeep ride over the dunes was so much fun, and our guide Faizy was excellent — friendly, skilled, and made everything feel easy and safe. We loved the camel ride and had a good laugh sandboarding — especially fun for us coming from the Alps! Truly a memorable experience. Thanks, Faizy!
What an absolute DREAM!

Sunrise safari was excellent! Gauze the driver was really kind, chatty and good at communicating. From the start to end it was a well run, professional and good tour. I think it’s a little steep the price for one person (same as of if I was in a pair so they should look to reduce that for solo travellers) but otherwise, has a great morning in the desert
