This was an amazing experience. Jino was an outstanding guide and worked hard to ensure we were well taken care for. The dune bashing exceeded expectations and delivered enough excitement to make sure no jet lag could set in. The sunset over the dunes was spectacular and the dinner was as advertised. This is definitely something we would recommend to any couples visiting for Abu Dahbi.

They were very flexible in responding to my request and were very supportive. They took a lot of pictures and lectured me on how to eat traditional food.

I truly have no words to describe how amazing this tour was. Without a doubt, it was the best experience of our entire trip. From the very beginning, our guide was incredible – attentive, friendly, and highly professional. He made us feel comfortable and took care of every detail to ensure a perfect evening. The dune bashing in the 4x4 was thrilling and absolutely unforgettable – a perfect mix of excitement and fun! When we arrived at the camp, everything was beautifully set up: the lights, the romantic atmosphere, and top-notch service. The hospitality was excellent, and the food was delicious, with plenty of well-prepared local dishes to enjoy. The whole experience – from the camel ride to the candlelit dinner under the stars – felt truly magical. 💫 100% recommended if you’re in Abu Dhabi and looking for something really special. Thank you for an unforgettable night!

My partner surprised me and took us on the Private Romantic Desert Sunset tour. It was such a fantastic trip, we had the opportunity to ride the sand dunes in the 4x4, go quad biking as sunset was approaching, and take pics on the backdrop of the sunset that will last a lifetime. The private tour meant we had choice on what we wanted to do and meant we didn’t need to follow the timelines of other trips. Unbeknown to me, my partner organised the tour to propose, and surprised me with a private bbq under the stars - all part of this tour. The tour guide, Faisal (or Fashir?) was brilliant and made the day magical. This guy, is like an undercover photographer! We’ve not only the most memorable video of the proposal but hundreds of pictures capturing the moment - we weren’t even aware an iPhone can take a video and pictures at the same time. It can! If you ever read this - thank you! While my partner said he was skeptical about the tour, it was the most special adventure and well worth it if you’re looking for romance. Would highly recommend!

Faisel is an amazing guide and driver. The tour was PRIVATE, just as we wanted. We chose this tour to get away from the crowds that come with cruising. We did exactly that. Faisel was on time and we wasted no time getting to the dunes. The dune busting was thrilling. The desert is stunningly beautiful. Much more than expected. I highly recommend that experience After the ride we got a chance to see some supper friendly camels. We were offered an opportunity to ride a camel but declined. We were also offered an opportunity to go to the camp for tattoos and belly dancing but wanted to just relax away from everyone and chose to go to our dining spot. We were welcomed with fruit, dates and Arabian coffee. That was followed by a delicious dinner as we watched the sun set and the stars come out. On the way back to our ship, Faisel treated us with a stop to get pictures of the mosque. A beautiful end to a fantastic tour. Thank you!

Khalifi was an excellent tourguide/driver. He zipped through the dunes in the Subaru like a boss. He was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He also offered us plenty of picture taking and camel watching/petting. Food bbq and dancing show were fun. I would strongly recommend this tour for anyone.
