Family trip

Wendy_O, Nov 2025

Great experience. Drivers are patient. They can be a bit rushy. But we talked and agreed. We had a large group and 3-cars. So we had to wait for the 3rd car to arrive. The sunset is beautiful

Dianne_G, Sep 2025

A fantastic way to spend an afternoon and evening! Fast paced activities includied dune buggy rides, driving through the red sand dunes and sand boarding. Watching the sun set over the desert was breathtaking. The evening dinner and entertainment was fabulous. The fire dancing provided a dramatic finale to the evening.
