5.00We had an amazing time dune bashing and quad biking! Basith was very punctual, friendly, and welcoming from the start. The dune bashing was so much fun, and he timed our stop perfectly to catch the sunrise — it was absolutely beautiful. He even took great photos of us with the sunrise, and we got to see camels along the way, which made it even more special. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience — highly recommend!

5.00Had an amazing time from start to finish, Basath looked after us, allowed us time to do our own thing, experienced traditions and culture alongside the camels, quads, coffee break, sand boarding and 4 x 4 on the dunes. 100% advise to book for sunrise. Beautiful.

5.00I had booked this trip for my daughter’s birthday and I have no regrets. We both had an amazing time. Basith was our guide and he was very good - picked us up on time, communicated very well, told us what to expect and made us feel comfortable. We did a little dune bashing, sand boarding (which was hilarious), took camels rides, quad bikes and also enjoyed a karak chai 🤩
Excellent service

5.00Incredible experience. Our driver Ibrahim was waiting at the pick up time and gave a running commentary on the fifty minute drive into the desert. I thought I was a good driver but his skills over and around the sand dunes was awesome. I would recommend this as an absolute must if you are in Abu Dhabi.
Mystical sunrise
