Beautiful experience in the desert with the dunes bashing.
We also experienced the sand boarding near a camp then ended with a short camel ride.
Our local guide, Zahoor, was very professional and funny.
I recommend for a first desert safari.
The pick up at the hotel set up at 8a and you're back before 1pm.

It was an excellent safari. Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable. We reallly enjoyed as a family.

It was very pleasant. Our guide Riaz was excellent and very expensive with the dune bashing. . The vehicle was very comfortable. Morning safaris are so much more quiet compared to the night one which tend to be more crowded and touristy. We enjoyed this experience with our young child very much. Riaz also very enthusiastically took many photos of us which he choreographed. Definitely recommend this experience of you would like something quiet and more of more quality

Driver was super accommodating. No falcon in summer which was a little disappointing and if I had time I’d probs do the evening tour as more cultural experience at the camp. But I definitely thought it was well worthwhile and filled a free morning before my conference started.

Zahara was a great guide. We all enjoyed the tour and dune bashing was the real highlight. Definitely recommend

From camel riding to dune bashing and sand boarding, it was a great morning spent in he desert.
Thanks Riaz for the lovely hospitality.

Zahoor was an amazing guide. Ensuring we were safe and informed about the relevant history of UAE during our trip. He also adapted the dune bashing when it was clear our infant was uncertain about it! The sandboarding and camel riding was great!
