A wonderful morning Safari

Azadeh_N, Jan 2025

We had a wonderful time at our morning Safari. It was exactly what we needed- We wanted to see the beauty of the desert, but we also wanted to make sure that the ride is smooth.and the tour is not too long as we had my 90 year old father-in-law with us. Our guide, Arsalan, did an amazing job explaining the history of the area and its wildlife and the nature of the desert we were visiting. He also.made sure that the ride was very smooth. We loved the dunes and the camel ride was a very unique experience. Also, the breakfast was super delicious. .Zahir did an amazing job making sure we had all we needed during the breakfast, and then taking pictures afterwards. Everyone was so Kind and respectful. Overall, we had a great experience with this tour and I highly recommend them.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Azadeh, We’re so happy you had a wonderful morning safari with Arsalan. He really enjoyed sharing his knowledge and Zahir loved making sure breakfast was just right for you all. Thanks for trusting us with your father-in-law’s comfort too. Hope to see you again.

A nice tranquil experience in the morning.

Hi Jaima, Thank you so much for this. Majid will love to know you all had a great time. Happy it was perfect for your family. Hope you join us again.

A great day away from the city!

Nicole_B, Jan 2024

We were the only ones on this tour so it ended up being a private tour which was great. Our guide Ozzy was fantastic - what a great personality. Really enjoyed the camel ride and the traditional Bedouin breakfast! There was a ton of food - more than we could eat. The ride through the reserve in the SUV was fun too and quite scenic but animal sightings of any kind are very far and few between so don't expect a safari-type experience with animals everywhere. The ride is a bit rough at times but nothing like the other 'dune bashing' adventure tours where you read about people getting sick. It was really nice to get out of the city and do something different. I would definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Nicole, So glad you had Ozzy all to yourselves. He really loved spending the day with you and making that Bedouin breakfast special. Thanks for sharing how much you enjoyed the tour. Hope to see you again.

Fun and personal!

Matthew_R, May 2023

We had a great time getting to see and experience wildlife, and Bedouin culture! Be sure to bring sunscreen, but the safari ride was amazing, as you go off-roading to see gazelles, black swans, flamingos, and lizards.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Matthew, Glad you enjoyed spotting wildlife and experiencing Bedouin culture. Off-roading through the reserve is always a highlight. Thanks for the tip about sunscreen too.

Unforgettable Desert Experience. .
