5.00Fahad was AMAZING! Super attentive and the full experience was incredible! We started off dune bashing, with a highly skilled driver, my children particularly enjoyed this! After arriving at camp, we got to indulge in sand boarding, camel riding, falcon holding and even dressing up in traditional clothing! For women, you can have a henna tattoo done- The evening was wrapped up by an incredible bbq dinner and wonderful evening entertainment! The belly dancer was incredible! 10/10 experience, i highly reccomend!
Very good experience!

5.00Just came back from my evening desert guided by Noor! What an amazing experience! Fun ride to come, loved the camel farm that they stopped by midway! When we reached the site we did a short but lovely camel ride, dune surfing, falcon pic, and 4x4 riding for a small price! Dinner was served and was lovely, and then amazing show! Got a small henna tatoo too that was amazing! Thank you so much!
Great experience

1.00The desert tour scheduled for July 2025, which was marketed as a 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM experience but was misrepresented, significantly delayed, and filled with hidden charges and unmet promises. Key Issues Experienced: Significant Delay in Pickup: We were not picked up until 4:47 PM—nearly two hours late—cutting deeply into the scheduled tour time. Unsafe and Uncomfortable Transport Conditions: The vehicle had a broken window that wouldn't roll up, exposing us to extreme 110°F heat for nearly an hour during transit to the sand dunes. This created an unsafe and unhealthy travel condition. Camel Ride Misrepresented: The camel ride consisted of approximately five steps before the operator asked for additional payment to proceed further. This is misleading and unethical. Sunset Photo Opportunity Canceled: The advertised sunset photo session at the dunes never happened. Instead, we were asked to pay to have a picture taken. Costume Photoshoot Charges: Although the tour advertised costume photoshoots as included, we were again asked to pay additional money to pose for photos in costume. Falcon Photoshoot Misrepresentation: Although we paid for two people to participate, only my wife was allowed to pose without an extra fee. When I attempted to pose, we were asked for more money. Henna Tattoo Upsell: My wife received a small 2-inch flower tattoo and was then asked to pay for any further artwork, despite henna being listed as an included activity. Stage Entertainment and Shisha Access Misrepresented: The live performance lasted only 12 minutes, which I documented. The "unlimited shisha" claim was untrue—guests could only access a single flavor after the show or had to pay 165 AED to have it during the performance. Tour Cut Short and Rushed Conclusion: The show ended abruptly at 8:15 PM, and we were rushed out despite the tour being advertised to continue until 9:00 PM. Conclusion: This tour lasted barely over three hours, not the promised six. Most of the features advertised as included came with hidden or coerced extra charges. It was not only disappointing but felt like a systematic bait-and-switch operation that wasted valuable vacation time and hard-earned money.
Scam

1.00The activity didn’t include half of the things it offered as “already paid.” Everything goes under payment like: photos with Arab clothes, camel ride, photos with hawk, Arabic coffee, soft drinks, henna tattoo, shisha, stargazing... We had practically nothing included in the price. Just the pickup and the trip through the dunes, and for dinner we had to wait 3h and hardly even give us food (very little amount). In addition, the activity lasts half of what they put in, they already pick you up 2 hours later than they put in. The animals are in terrible conditions, it is very sad that this abuse
Great fun, must so!
