5.00This was our first time going dune bashing and Off Road Zone and David made it so memorable! David was our driver and guide and he was amazing! He taught us so much! He’s also so nice, and we were able to watch him help another group out when they got stuck. He also told us the best places to get out and take pictures which was really fun. Overall, this was such a great experience and I highly recommend coming here!
Great Experience

5.00Totally awesome hands on experience. We were the only vehicle in the „convoy“ that day last week and our incredible guide David, who picked us up right at the hotel, made this an incredible day for us. He managed to increase the difficulty level in a perfect way, so as I learned fast the way he explained and demonstrated the driving techniques, we got up to some pretty advanced driving quite quickly. It was the perfect combination of having insane amounts of fun, while developing new skills at the same time. Would 12/10 recommend this to anyone who is into cars and driving and wants to get away from the main touristy crowds. The Jeep we got was almost brand new and in perfekt condition as well. Thank you so much.
Perfect way to see the desert!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience!! Did the experience as a solo traveller and thoroughly enjoyed myself. This is the best way to see the desert. Dune bashing is easy to get a hang off and extremely fun. I had an amazing guide, Kevin, who also gave precise instructions, making it very easy. Highly recommended!
