Ashmita_K, Feb 2017

The good: they came on time The bad: the tour was significantly shortened according to 'fog' and no alternative was offered even when requested many times. The worse: the agency was very rude and disrespectuful The recommendation: don't choose this operator.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Dear ashmitaks, Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback about our Morning Safari you have recently joined with us. We apologize for not having fully met your expectation. We regret that there was fog and we couldn't give you the full dune drive experience due to safety reasons. We fully understand your disappointment. Kindly get in touch when you are planning another visit to our destination so that we can showcase you our multi-awarded services. We would love to see you soon on one of our tours/safaris.

Safari dans le deser

LilianaAndreia_A, Jun 2019

Nous avons passé un tré bon moment, la balade sympa, le guide aussi très gentil et serviable (Jawad je crois son prénom), le faucon aussi intéressant et le monsieur avec les chameaux et petit déjeuner très sympas. Je conseille a tous mes amis qui vont partir a Dubai de faire le safari, si j'ai l'occasion de y retourner je vais le refaire.

Super activité ! Je recommande

Katia_T, Jun 2018

Génial. Le tour en dromadaire dure deuxième minutes ce qui est très court. Le reste était top. Je recommande. Nous n’étions que 5 au total dans le désert (sans compter les conducteurs et intervenants). L’immersion était donc quasi totale.
