It was a great tour with Saad. Got to see lots!! Of camels and the race track. The highlight definitely was the Richard Serra’s art installation. Wished I could see it during sunset (we were there before sunset), but overall it was a great tour. Thank you, Saad!
Beautiful desert excursions.

We were traveling with Abdul Rehman. The tour lasted four hours. First we were at the camel racetrack, then at interesting rock formations that were created by erosion. Afterwards, we saw the bizarre-looking steel sculptures standing somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Was a very interesting morning and Abdul explained everything to us in detail. On the way back we tried "karak" (strong black tea with condensed milk, cardamom and sugar).
Scenic Views, Fantastic Guidance

I thought I cannot take this tour in the beginning due to some booking issue. No one came to pick me up. But Saleem took me to this tour only for me while he was planning to take a rest. So great to see odd shaped rock formation as well as monolith sculpture. He was so kind to give me time to go around and always tried to entertain me. I definitely recommend him.
