First class desert safari. We were picked up by our tour guide from our hotel. Land Cruiser was clean and comfortable. Our guide brought us to see camels, they proceeded to an exhilarating dune-bashing. Was an absolute blast. Way better than we could have ever imagined. Next, we went to dinner site where the kids rode on ATVs, camel rides and we took some fabulous photos. Finally dinner with exciting shows. Would do it again!!

Please note that you have to be seaworthy for driving through the dunes. But the drivers are very experienced and it is definitely worth it.
