we expected more because it was presented like that. It says that unlimited shisha is included, but it needs to be paid for. It also said that photography with a falcon was included, but the man wanted to charge us, so we argued and managed to prove that it was included in the price. My friend and a woman who was also on tour with us were very sick while driving on the dunes and threw up, so I suggest that the drivers have vomit bags in their cars to avoid an incident. We did not like the food at all because it was terribly seasoned and the hot dog was not cooked, the chicken was dry. We only had nice salads. Also, don't expect much from camel riding, because we could literally ride a camel for 30 seconds, and you have to pay extra for longer rides. It will be very hot in the desert in the afternoon and very cold at night, so I suggest you bring something long for the evening. Henna on the hands also has to be paid for if you want a larger design, a smaller one that is only on one finger is free. We didn't manage to go sand boarding because there were too many people waiting and we didn't get there because the guide called us to go back. I don't know what else to write, I think that's it, but I was a little disappointed with the overall experience, that's the point.

The dune bashing was fun. Camel was just one only badly trained unresponsive camel. Dinner was okay but not great. Enjoyed the shows of dancer and also twirling dancer. Enjoyed the fire eater/dancer show, he was very skilled.

Our tour was very memorable and our driver was amazing! However- we paid for experiences through Viator but we did not receive them or were charged extra at the place. For example- we were told that Henna tattoos were included, but then had to pay for them. I would also be hesitant of camel riding as the camels did not look well taken care of.

Unlimited Shisha is not true: only starts at 7.30pm at a corner of the compound, far from stage. Everyone has to share.
Camel farm is a drive by, we didn’t even get to get out of the car to take photos.
BBQ dinner is NOT a buffet, I couldn’t get a second round as the meat has run out: only one per person.
Stars are not visible.
Camel ride is just 60m walk within the compound. Camel looks badly taken care of. Poor camels.
They squeezed 6 passengers in the Car, the 2 seats at the back is VERY uncomfortable. Should not have more than 4 passengers in the car.
Sand dune bashing was ok, about 10-15mins only. Stage shows were good.

The location is great and the food is excellent- the people are super nice - but there is too much slow time - this could easily be one hour shorter.

Fantastic experience of dune bashing. The other camp experiences were great eg food, camel riding etc but the dancing was especially good. Azia was a great informative and professional guide, but his special driving ability was to be admired.
Conformation between customer and provider should be by email.

Dune bash! An unforgettable experience with expert drivers. The safari later was very nice and intertaining. Very well worth the time and expense.

Dune bashing driving skills from the very best driver you’ll ever meet in your life.

This is the perfect experience for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi. It was so well organised and great that they pick you up from where you’re staying. The dune bashing was out of this world and it was lovely to relax afterwards in the camp with good food and entertainment. The total time of this trip was 7hrs from pick up to drop off, I can’t believe we did all this for the equivalent of £50, I would have gladly paid three times that for it 👍🏼

I contacted the company for the address. When we drove to the location, all we saw were camels and no people. I tried to call them multiple times and the phone line was not going through. I would save your money and not use this company. This is a rip off! I experienced that 1st hand.

Excellent communication with staff via WhatsApp. Dune bashing is very intense and someone puked in my car. Be prepared, it's not for the faint of heart! There are many activities to enjoy at the camp. Despite the rain, I felt we were in good hands. Overall I enjoyed this pleasant day with my Indian guide. Unfortunately the renowned Arabic hospitality I felt was missing from the trip.

We couldn't see anything because we weren't there. Driver wasn't there. Please money back!!!!

Vi consiglio di prenotare questo tour nel deserto. Abbiamo fatto vari tour ma questo è stato il più bello ed il più divertente di tutti. Il nostro autista esperto nella guida sulle dune del deserto, tanto gentile e simpatico, ci ha spiegato per tutto il tempo come svolgere le varie attività e ed è stato sempre disponibile con noi. Lo rifaremmo altre mille volte! Non perdetelo!!

Zunächst wollte der Guide uns nicht wie vereinbart an unserem Hotel abholen. Erst nach Telefonat erfolgte eine pünktliche Abholung am vereinbarten Ort.
Auf der Fahrt zur ersten Attraktion der Wüsten-Safari war der Fahrer zu gefüllten 90% mit seinem Handy beschäftigt. Die 1. Attraktion, eine Fahrt mit dem SUV durch die Wüstendünen, dauerte etwa 30 Minuten und hat unseren Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht entsprochen. Danach erfolgten ENDLOSE Wartezeiten mit mäßigen Unterhaltungswert. Der Guide war nur noch selten und dann aus weiter Entfernung zu sehen. Viele im Programm aufgeführte Highlights wurden nicht angeboten bzw. angepriesen. Fazit der sogenannten Wüsten-Safari: Tolle Dünenfahrt und sonst nichts! Preis / Leistung stimmten nicht. Tags zuvor hatten wir eine über Viator gebuchte Tagestour von Abu Dhabi nach Dubai, die ein absolutes Highlight darstellte, auch Dank des herausragenden Guides Sudath Manodara von Emirates Tours
