Unforgettable Desert Safari

5.00We had an incredible experience on the 4WD desert safari with ATV riding, sand boarding and camel riding, travelling with our three kids. From start to finish, the tour was extremely well organised and genuinely enjoyable for both adults and children. Our driver and tour host, Shahib, was outstanding. He was friendly, professional and fantastic with the kids, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable while still keeping the experience exciting and fun. The dune bashing was thrilling but very well controlled, and Shahib took the time to explain everything clearly. The kids absolutely loved the ATV riding and sand boarding, and the camel ride was a great experience for the whole family. There were plenty of opportunities for photos and breaks, which made it very family-friendly. We would highly recommend this desert safari to families travelling with children. A big thank you to Shahib for making it such a memorable experience for all of us.
Fantastic day
