Our driver Ahmed picked...

Vicky, Feb 2026
Our driver Ahmed picked us up from the hotel. We were a group of 3 couples and we had no common language but we managed to have fun esp during the dune bashing. Ahmed was great, kept asking us if we’re ok, especially me while in the dunes because I had my eyes closed in almost ihalf of the experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that Ahmed took great care of your group and made sure everyone felt comfortable during the dune bashing. We are glad you still had fun despite the language difference, and we hope to welcome you again soon.

No la recomiendo

ValentinJose_C, Jan 2025
Pierdes más de 2 horas en trayecto en un vehículo 7 plazas ( dos en la trasera con lo incómodo que es). Después ataque en dunas de 10 minutos.El paseo en camello es de menos de 1 minuto. Una botella de agua de bebida. El snowboard no vale la pena, es ridículo. Cena penosa y espectáculo correcto sin más. Vuelta jugándonos el tipo por la arena con vehículos en contra cruzándose unos con otros. Conductor whasapeando continuamente.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your feedback. Please note that since it was a shared jeep, the drive to the desert takes about 1 hour after the pickups. The camel ride typically lasts 4-5 minutes, and each car is provided with water bottles based on the number of guests in the vehicle. We sincerely apologize for the driver’s behavior with WhatsApp, and we will address this matter to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Inesquecível

Conduzir os carros todo o terreno. A adrenalina de fazer as Dunas no Jeep Simpatia do Guia As fotografias tiradas ao por do sol

Response from Host, Feb 2024

It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed driving the off-road vehicles and experiencing the adrenaline rush of tackling the dunes in our Jeep! Our guides take pride in providing friendly service, and we're glad you appreciated their enthusiasm. The photographs taken at sunset must have captured some truly memorable moments. Thank you for sharing your experience
