Our tour guide, Ahmed, made our trip enjoyable. He was prompt and courteous. We had so much fun dune bashing and the views at the top of the dunes helped create wonderful photo memories. The camel ride was an amazing experience! All the staff were kind and friendly. Definitely would recommend!

Mark_W, Jan 2026

Great experience! Loved it. Quad bikes, camel ride, tea, sandboarding, dune bashing were all good. Ahmed was nice and he listened and communicated well in English.

Sun, sand and camels :)

Actual scam, go away

Yoann_L, Feb 2024

45 min to go and come back. 10mins 4x4, 10mins of quad, 30 Seconds camel (15sec for my friend because "yalah no time", and only one ride in dune (yalah no tome". 100ml of water. Dates juices, soft drink (inexistant) but were included, traditional clothes are sold 3 times the price when supposed to be included. Visit of camel farm : inexistant. Actual scam, management never answered us .... Go away from them

Viator payment / scheduling issue

Michael_C, Feb 2024

While the activity itself was great, the booking experience was sub-par. We paid for a private-tour, 6a pickup via Viator. However, the tour operator followed up soon after purchase to let us know we'd be picked up at 845a. When I explained that we had selected the 6a timeslot, they shared we needed to pay extra for the individual tour. In a bind (due to tight timing), we obliged and informed them to look into the Viator syndication/connection in case there was an issue. In my opinion, we should not have been charged that additional amount due to the disconnect.

Great Time Dune Bashing

George_M, Jan 2024

This trip was a very fun way to spend part of a day in Abu Dhabi. Our driver was very professional and kind. The best part of the trip was definitely the dune bashing. The ATVs were also quite fun, one note is that booking through Viator did not give the option for the longer ATV ride, another vehicle on our trip had that option for some of their riders. Overall still a great experience!

Perfect trip

Junior_G, Jun 2023

Amazing experience. Felt like a private tour. From the dune bashing to the quad biking. Was amazing. Mohamed was absolutely amazing

Great experience

Katie_V, Nov 2022

Brilliant, really good value for money! A great morning sand bashing (such a great driver) a real adrenaline rush - then a beautiful stop in the desert for quad biking, camel riding and sand boarding - would 100% recommend!

Great experience, well worth booking!

atroughton76, May 2022

Great trip, the guide pointed out lots of locations on the way to the desert and was like a professional photographer! Amazing to see the camels in full flow on the way to the sand dunes and at the farm. The dune bashing, quad bike ride and sand boarding were all a great experience, really glad we made the booking.

Nice desert 🏜 🐪 experience

Iulian_R, Apr 2022

It was a very nice experience. Everything mentioned in the description was offered. The guide was nice and friendly.

Highlight of our trip to Abu Dhabi

Kieran_O, Mar 2020

We had booked the half day morning tour but because of a few communication issues with my phone we re arranged to the full 7 hour tour later that day. We were picked up by Amir, he was our guide, driver and boss photograph taker, absolutely brilliant guy! We headed to the dunes in a big 5 litre Lexus 4X4 and we stopped at a Camel farm while they deflated the tyres, Amir had no problem throwing it all over the place up and down the sand dunes, scary and thrilling at the same time, brilliant fun. Amir then took us to some really high dunes where we got out and did some great photos with amazing backdrops if the desert. We were then taken further into the desert to do the quad biking. I've done this before in Egypt some years back and they had us in a line following a lead bike, not here, we could let rip in and it of the dunes for something like 20 mins, this was unbelievable fun, the quads were so easy to ride. Now I have to say that the people already booked on this tour had to pay 69 Dirums about 15 euro to do this but because ours was included in our original tour we didnt, but I would have paid it anyway because it was brilliant. The sun was just going down and Amir took us to a camp for food and soft drinks all complimentary, with 2 shows, a belly dancer who was great and a traditional Arabic dancer which was very entertaining, I have to say that I got up with the belly dancer, throwing some shapes as you do! There was a barbecue of chicken and beef, freshly made rice and salads, pitta and dips, which was so tasty, I really enjoyed it. They had a falcon and you could let it on to your hand and have photos done, so majestic, though I'm not into animals being used as a side show, this was a healthy well cared for bird and very well trained. You could do same boarding down the dunes while the BBQ was being cooked but this was too much effort for us and it had already been a long day. Finally we got to do a short camel ride, this was a great experience and how we never fell off as it got up is beyond me. All in all this was a brilliant day, one I wont forget in a long time, well worth the money and we felt safe with a brilliant Englush speaking guide.

Trappola per turisti

Oscar_E, Jan 2024

Guida inutile ed annoiata che non vedeva l’ora di tornare indietro. Campo di accoglienza, una specie di trappola per turisti, dove cercano in ogni modo di spillarti soldi (il tour è solo un misero assaggio delle attività, poi se spendi allora puoi fare qualcosa). Solo la guida dei cammelli era simpatica e volenterosa di farti divertire.. gli altri erano solo interessati a farti spendere . Sconsigliato.. spendete soldi altrove.

Une très belle sortie dans le désert !

carole_g, May 2023

Une superbe expérience dans ce désert magnifique! Avec notre guide Mohamed très sympa, il est adorable ! Dommage nous n'avons pas pu faire le surf sur les dunes... sinon parfait!

ABZOCKE

Mohammed_A, Nov 2021

Die Tour hat nicht stattgefunden und wir haben das Geld nicht zurück bekommen ! ACHTUNG ABZOCKE! Wie auf dem Bild zu sehen ist es morgens sehr nebelig. Der Fahrer hat uns gesagt das es morgens immer so ist und er diese Tour niemandem empfohlen würde. Er selbst hat die Tour abgebrochen, weil er nichts mehr sehen konnte und wir bekommen unser Geld nicht einmal zurück

Response from Host, Nov 2021

on the day your tour pick up time 5 am the climate always will change as we discussed with our driver he said that once the fog clear he will do the safari and other activities from your side you have some other programs you want to go back Abu Dhabi its not our fault we never said that we will not do safari at the same time we have given a refund for you which you didn't use some activities we do our best from our side and we did

Bei dem Ausflug wurde die...

Sabine_J, Nov 2021

Bei dem Ausflug wurde die Hälfte der Leistung nicht angeboten. Der Ausflug bestand aus Besuch der Kamelfarm, Quadtour und Jeeptour durch die Wüste. Der ganze Ausglug dauerte keine drei Stunden. Unser Fahrer war sehr nett, hatte aber ein anderes Leistungsverzeichnis wie wir

super guide

geraldine_c, Nov 2019

très beau moment passé avec Shamil. La sortie dans le désert était très chouette de même que le quad (nous aurions même aimé en faire plus long temps). Nous avons moins aimé les chameaux et le gite un peu trop touristique à notre gout.
