5.00Our guide is Abdul who is the only guide throughout this trip. He took care of everything to make sure we enjoy the trip! On the day, Abdul messaged us to confirm the pickup location and time. Whilst we travel to the base camp, we stopped by the camel farm and did few dune bashing across the desert. Throughout the drive, he made sure we are comfortable with the drive and stopped if needed. We arrived the camp just before the sunset, we got the chance to do camel ride. Once the food is ready, we had a delicious buffet with wide range of grilled meat. The show was fun where the locals showed their dance and finished with star glazing. As we were the only guest of the night, Abdul took us out for a quiet location where he allowed us to spend another 30 mins star glazing with no light nearby! We camped at the base camp where Abdul already prepared for us! There is pretty of space for 2 of us. We woke up around 6.30 am where we prepared for the sunset, and it was just outside the base camp. Abdul prepared continental breakfast for us before we return back to the hotel. This tour is unforgettable and we miss every moment for it. Abdul has done a great job to ensure we are comfortable the whole day. He also shared lots of useful information while staying in UAE such as local food market and good tourist location! I hope anyone joining this tour will meet this friendly local guide!
One of the Best Activities of My Life

5.00This was a life-changing experience I recommend everyone does. Everything flowed smoothly and I felt extremely safe and happy. After being picked up from the hotel in Abu Dhabi, we were immediately taken to the safari. We sped though the dunes (felt like a rollercoaster!), touched and rode a camel, raced through the desert on ATVs, ate a buffet with vegetarian options (which I was so thankful for), watched engaging performances, then slept overnight on a mattress in a spacious tent (dress warm if you decide to do this because it was very cold). We woke up to a beautiful sunset with the sounds of nature and ate a tasty breakfast. I was sad to leave but thankful that I have these memories with me for the rest of my life.
