5.00Really enjoyed this. Wahab was a tremendous guide and we got to try a range of activities. Liked the sandboarding far more than expected, and dune buggies were fun too (note: you pay significantly more for this at the venue, as only quad biking is standard if paid for at the time of booking). Would highly recommend.
Fun and well organised desert adventure

5.00We booked this trip last minute and Aamer Abbas was our guide. We were picked up by him, and had another 2 tourist with us. He was so accomodating and assisted the best he could. As we were travelling with young children, Aamer provided his best service and once when my daughter was crying because she did not get to ride the ATV, Aamer consoled her by letting her ride on the Atv (for 5 mins). His empathy won us over. The whole dune experience, camel riding, Atv ride, sandboarding and ride back was so enjoyable that my children keep talking about it even when we are back in our country. Thankyou for this experience and we appreciate your efforts, Aamer!
Had a great time! Highly...
