Great desert experience

5.00Rashid has really done everything possible to give us a great experience. He knows the right spots to take photos, have fun (sand boarding) and be amazed. Can only recommend a booking with him.
Overall disappointing experience.

2.00Gentle Sands Experience - The 4x4 vehicle was old and tatty and not clean inside. The communication from the driver (Ahmad) was very confusing. The overall trip was not well organised and there was no tea/coffee as advertised. The bottle of water was tiny. Despite us choosing the Gentle Sands experience (due to back issues), he commented a few times that it wasn't fun unless it was a bit rougher and whilst his driving wasn't Dune Bashing, it definitely could have been a bit more sedate at times. Also, we specifically chose an experience without the Dune Buggies or Camels but he insisted on stopping at both locations even though we had said we weren't interested in them. Aside from that, the experience of being in the desert, surrounded by sand and seeing the sun setting, was amazing. The driver also did take some good photos for us. But overall, I would not recommend.
Excellent walk

4.00Zia Khan was really nice. He was already part of the gang. We had fun thank you for the tour. We went there for the sunset so we were able to take beautiful pictures.
