    Truly unique, once in a lifetime experience...Sure, you can ride ATVs, dune bashing, camel riding in different places. But to do everything in Dubai... priceless. Great guides, Sandy is awesome. Great food, service. Visited end of July, nice and toasty 😅 still worth it.

    Don’t just take a trip to the desert for atvs and dinner with a show. The overnight experience was thee highlight of our trip. We stayed up all day. Zahed was hands down the most attentive host we have ever experienced Every moment was epic. It started with out wonderful tour driver Imhed taking picking us up at hotel and giving us history and details, followed by Atv, then dune bashing, sand boarding and our journey to the camp. At the camp we had horse and camel shows, we fed the baby camels, rode the camels took photos followed by a wonderful dinner with more dance and fire shows. The night truly began when spent the evening with Zaheed playing football, sandboarding,etc. when the sun came up we went camel trekking and took additional pics , had breakfast. Saddest part was leaving. My kids and I had the most amazing experience. Imhed and zaheed were spectacular. This is a once and a lifetime experience - sheeva
