Went with the family including 3 teens and we all had a great time!! Our company was Saifco and Mr. Nawaz was our guide for this trip. It was clear from the beginning that Mr. Nawaz enjoyed his job and wanted to make sure we had fun. He was engaging and made it memorable and enjoyable by making good suggestions, telling us what to expect along the way and at each stop. In addition, he was on time for hotel pick-up, and helped with pictures. We enjoyed dune bashing, sand boarding (requires a little practice), the 3 shows, and ATV rides (ATVs were separate from this package but available at one of the stops)
