A Wilder Side to Qatar

5.00Great experience with Nawafi, really made it enjoyable, very courteous but also made it an adventure. You get to choose how your experience pans out. Have a (short) camel ride, which is what we did, or hop on a quadbike, or go sand boarding. This then leads on to dune bashing, which is pretty high octane if you let him put his foot down. Best bit - the playlist is banging while you're doing it. He's clearly very experienced as a driver, so we felt safe enough while drifting round on the sand at night. Great fun. Then to a desert lake and finally the seaside. We didn't have the best visibility, but he was a fantastic photographer, and found spots where you could see the stars beautifully. It's Nawafi himself the deserves 5/5 stars. The camel ride was definitely the low point, though still fun - the staff at the camel place took an extra 200 r for the "long" camel ride, which took us 2 minutes up a small hill by a disgruntled chap who actually had to be persuaded by Nawafi from afar to even do that much! I think the camel thing is barely worth it, although at least I know what it's like to ride one. Nawafi got us some karak tea to perk us up before we started, offered us water and funny stories and the whole.thing flew by, didn't feel too long or too short. We went from 8.45 (great communication from Nawafi, and he was happy to change the collection point last minute for us, which saved us a walk to the original rendezvous point) until 1am. The drive out to desert and back took about 50 minutes each way.
Wild and wonderful desert dune tour

5.00We had a wonderful crazy bouncy hilarious bash through the dunes with our very knowledgeable and experienced guide Nawafi. We went as a couple and had a fabulous time. Nawafi made sure every detail was taken care of and put us at ease whilst also ensuring as much fun was had as possible. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide. He took some great photos for us. A wonderful evening out.
Fun and memorable

5.00Omar was a great tour guide. He picked us up right on time outside of our hotel and was a very safe and welcoming driver. We first went to ride ATV bikes and in my experience, the bikes didn’t work as well as we thought they would, and the shop is located far from the actual entrance to the track which cut into our 30 minute timeslot but I don’t believe that was Omar‘s fault. I think it’s just the relationship the tour company has with the ATV bikes. We chose to skip the camel riding because we felt bad for the camels, although they look pretty well taken care of. The off-roading part in the dunes was really fun - a little bit scary but very fun. There was a pretty bright moon so we didn’t get to see as many stars as one would assume you could see in the desert, but it was still a fun experience and very unique. Although I enjoy the nighttime experience. I also feel that coming in the daytime to the desert is just as important because the sun makes everything look different and I wanted to see the inland sea in all its beauty which is hard to do when everything is just dark in the desert. Overall, Omar was very fun + accommodating + very nice.
Good experience

4.00A friends illness turned this into a solo trip and I was initially a little nervous about going on my own, but as soon as I reached out to Desert Track they immediately put me at ease. Excellent guide who made sure I felt comfortable at all times!! Great trip, well managed and comfortable. Still a little too much light pollution for seeing the Milky Way, but still excellent star gazing!
