5.00I took the tour with my 9 year old children. The driver contacted the day before and was at the hotel door at the agreed time. The tour was great, super organized, and our driver Azeem explained everything in detail. I recommend for those who want to have an overview of the desert, without wasting the whole day on the tour.
A “must do” Dubai experience!

5.00This tour is an absolute must! Our tour guide, Mr. G, was friendly and fun from start and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time, taking great photos of us (including hilarious poses). So much was fitted in to the morning and each activity was well prepared with enough time so as not to feel rushed. Highly recommend this tour
Fun and well organised !...
