The tour is amazing! In one word perfect. I was looking for a non commercial and classical tour. And this is it! Is 2 hours and half driving from Abu Dhabi but in this way you experience the real desert! And above all we were me my husband and just an American girl in a solo travel. Mohammed, was a great driver and guide! Also he took us beautiful pictures and videos! And the food he has prepared for us was delicious! Best babaganush ever eaten! I super recommend this tour! The American girl was the fifth time doing this tour, because she loved it.

I have been to various deserts several times, but Al-Rub' al-Khali is exeptional. The dunes are magnificent. Our guide was a real master desert driver, and apart from it, or above all, a very sympathetic man. Feeding the camels at the camel farm is a nice experience for kids and teens, and the lunch at the oasis is not only tasty but relaxing. The sunset and the night climb on the top of a dune was unforgetable. Definately a must do in Abu Dhabi!
