5.00This half day tour was truly amazing. We were able to do all the highlights that is usually done in a full day tour, but didn’t even have and it was awesome. Driver was prompt and picked us up right on time. 45 minute drive to the desert. Had about 35 minutes to ride ATVs, which was pretty cool and awesome. Then after soon later, we took pictures with the falcon. Next we did a camel ride, which was the most highlight of our entire time, then we went sand boarding, which was an amazing experience. Lastly, we went driving in the desert sanding, which was truly fun and amazing. Hassan Who was our driver the entire time made us feel extremely safe and welcoming. He made sure that we were able to do everything. Most of all he took pictures of us out in the desert. He is truly an amazing person. If you’re short on time, I would definitely recommend this half day tour. Definitely won’t be disappointed.
Great experience

5.00What a great time! I enjoyed the ATVs the most. It was an amazing experience. My leader was so gracious and took photos of me since I was solo! Highly recommend! Also, the camels were so sweet. Overall, our guide Azeem was a great coordinator and kept us on track. I’m so glad I took his advice and got the package to go “outside” on the ATVs with a leader.
So fun!

4.00Awesome experience! We did the morning tour and it was just enough time to get a bit of everything. Particularly loved the ATVs. Warning: as a motion sick girlie myself, the dune bashing was pretty rough. I suggest preparing accordingly. We did feel a bit rushed at times as the guide hurried us along to each different part, and I wish we had more time to enjoy the desert at the end during the photo opportunity.
