Superb fun experience

5.00The guide was excellent and the whole experience. I would highly recommend to anyone. The pick up and drop off was fab from start to finish. The activity for the price was good. Be aware that you need extra for the head scarf and tbf it was needed keep the sand out your face and hair. Camels looked like they are well looked after. I didn’t want to do the camel ride, happy to get photos with them. Dune bashing and quad bikes was so much fun the sand boarding I gave a miss as it was hot to walk back up the hill. 🥵
So fun!
