5.00From getting picked up from our hotel to being returned in the evening, this was a wonderful experience. Our guide Samy was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. All the guides worked really well as a team and you can see that they love their job. It was great fun to be driven through the desert conservation park in the vintage cars, dressed in our Bedouin headgear. The meal and presentations at the village were exceptional, not forgetting the fun short but sweet camel ride. Photos and videos of your experience in the desert are available to buy at an extra cost. They weren’t cheap but there really wasn’t any pressure to purchase. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this experience to a visitor to Dubai.
Amazing! Do it!
