Abbas was an amazing guide who made sure everyone had a fantastic experience today! Starting from the time he picked me up at my hotel in his very comfortable air conditioned vehicle, he took us on a wild dune busting car ride across the sands, taught us how to sand surf, took amazing pictures of each of us at sunset, and made sure we had fun at the Bedouin BBQ- camel rides henna artists, hooka, belly dancers, fire twirlers, etc. He wanted to assure that we all had a once in a lifetime experience and he delivered! I highly recommend paying the extra stipend to upgrade your meal where you’ll have your own table and host that brings everything to you (you are also served 1st). Thanks again Abbas!

We had such a blast! The whole experience was so well done and Abbas was the best! Between the sand dunes and the dinner and the camels everything was top notch. 10/10 recommend.

Mithu is a very nice guide. He really takes care of everyone and he is considerate and also happy to take photos for the guests. He is also very humorous. Strongly recommend him.

Abbas was a ton of fun on the dunes and caught a great shot of me jumping in the sunset. He always made sure we had all of our belongings before we left each location. He’s such a pro.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a great time. Desert safari was fun been thrown around in the 4WD, also took the opportunity to take a dune buggy out which was brilliant (extra cost but worth it)
The sandboarding was a new experience and the BBQ was well organised with good food.
Our driver Faisal was polite and punctual yet fun and informative when asked questions.
The camel ride was only about 1 minute so not really worth including.

This tour was amazing! Ismael was our guide and he was prompt ant professional! He explained each part of the tour tours in detail and ensured that we had a wonderful time. I especially enjoyed the Camel ride and dune bashing. He has cold water available for us in the SUV. He interacted so well with us! He time we said “yalla”, he did another heart pumping trick in the SUV! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an adventurous time!

We had an ahhhmazing experience with Ayub our guide! He was informative and accommodating during our entire tour! I highly recommend booking with this tour and ask for Ayub!! The camel riding experience was a dream for me and riding the ATV quad through the desert was so fun! The desert bashing was fun but not for a weak stomach! Sand surfing another wonderful experience!!

Yes. They stop at a market and it has quad rentals and some buggy rentals. We were picked at our hotel, when you inquire they ask you what hotel right away. You can ask to just do BBQ, but your whole pick up would have to be doing the same.

We were collected from the hotel next door to Rui, we were collected around 2.15 and got back around 10pm - it was plenty long enough to enjoy everything
