5.00We had an amazing desert safari experience, and a huge thank you to our guide, Omer! He was friendly, professional, and made the whole trip so enjoyable from start to finish. He was really nice to have a conversation with, which made us feel comfortable and welcome throughout the experience. His dune driving was exciting while still making us feel safe, and he made sure everyone was having a great time. He was also happy to answer our questions and helped us take some lovely photos. Everything was well organised, and it was an unforgettable experience. I would definitely recommend this desert safari, especially if you have Omer as your guide!
Absolutely memorable experience!!!

5.00Had the most memorable day from the minute Azam picked us up ... he looked after us all morning until he brought us back to the hotel. Experience with the falcon, quadbikes, camel riding, sand boarding and finale dune bashing. The whole day was enjoyable and a fabulous experience. Great hospitality. Well worth the money!!

4.00This was a fun experience. The dune bashing, which is tearing through the dunes in an SUV and bouncing all over the vehicle, was surprisingly fun. The kids enjoyed it. The sand surfing was not as exciting as we expected as it’s basically just sledding down sand. In the heat it was not worth the walk back up. Riding the quad bikes was a lot of fun too and our kids (ages 13 & 16) were both able to drive their own bikes which they really enjoyed. Overall I would recommend this tour if you’re looking for something unique to do outside the city!
Great experience!!!!
