Fun day!

Michelle_G, Mar 2023

Our private driver was prompt and explained the day layout. Our stop prior to the sand boarding was ‘not included,’ so any food, items (vendors tried to sell us many things), drinks, ATV riding was extra cost. Our family tried the roast corn and kindly declined other vendors. The sand boarding was super fun—Nomin, our driver was the best at maneuvering the high dunes. He stopped as the sun was setting and took the most beautiful photos of us with our phones. The camel ride was okay—short and perhaps not quite what we expected. The three shows were good and the food was plentiful. Overall good experience.

Worst experience ever

Vidhu_s, Dec 2022

I wish I could give 0 rating. The worst tour I have ever done. Highly unorganised unprofessional and this tour was waste of time money and energy We got there 3.30 but didn’t get to do dune bashing until 5PM we just waiting in the car that picked us up from the hotel The toilet facilities at the dune bashing area was filthy. We then did dune bashing which wasn’t exciting but just scary and wanted to return back in one piece .. we then waited in the car for another couple of hours to get to the camp. Food at the camp was so lacking.. Entree was finished by the time we got there and the food doesn’t get refilled .. mains wasn’t enough too we hardly ate anything that night The drop off took ages we were the last ones to leave .. the tour operator has subcontractors like drivers to pick up drop off and drivers to take you to the camp and dune bashing area and it is poorly organised

The time management by...

The time management by the driver could have been better. Dinner was just ok but the performances were great.

Visite dans le désert

Cline_J, Apr 2022

Excellente journée avec notre guide Muhammad ! Super pilote ! Nous en avons pris plein les yeux dans le désert, mais aussi de retour au camp le soir pour le repas très conviviale meme pendant le ramadan. Pas de danse du ventre mais remplacé par un cracher de feux et une autre danse. Je recommande vraiment ! Rapport qualité prix excellent !
