morning Safari ride with Tahir

Helen_E, Jan 2026

Tahir was an excellent tour guide! We enjoyed the camel ride and the picture with the falcon. Our favorite part was the riding the four wheelers! The sand doom ride was very enjoyable, but can be a bit nauseous if you are sensitive. Sandboard ride was extremely fun but difficult to come back up. Still lots of fun!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Ms. Helen, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that Tahir provided excellent guidance and made your desert safari so enjoyable. It’s great to know you loved the camel ride, falcon photo, and especially the four-wheeler riding—definitely a guest favorite! We also appreciate your helpful notes about the dune bashing and sandboarding, and we’re glad you still had lots of fun throughout the adventure. Thank you for your feedback.

Notre guide, Nasir, a été attentif à nos besoins, enthousiaste et il maîtrisait très bien la langue anglaise. Bonne communication et ponctuel. Journée mémorable.

Frühes Aufstehen lohnt sich!

Ines_B, Nov 2022

Tolles Erlebnis, alles hat gut geklappt. Unser Fahrer holte uns am Hotel ab. Die rasante Fahrt durch die Wüste endete mit einem Fotoshooting. Es entstanden sehr schöne Bilder , auch durch die Insidertipps des Fahrers. Das zeitige Aufstehen hat sich gelohnt.
