Well i can not say more part was better then the other, as it was all such a great experience. The buggy, sand boarding, and the camel top of the trip. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The driver to and from the hotel was lovely and pointed out landmarks on the way. Excellent Experience - and not to be missed!

What a great experience from start to finish. Lovely friendly team, taking loads of photo's for us

Leigh_B, Dec 2022

Great experience with a slight disappointment

Sandra_G, Apr 2022

This experience was great! The guide was very friendly and very informative. He mad the adventure!! The dune buggy was a solid hour and was great! The only reason I give a 4 and not 5 is the camel riding. The camel ride was not Much more than a photo op which lasted less than 10 minutes. He explained that it was very hot for the camels at 10am, which I can I can understand. But I don’t agree with selling what you can not offer. Other than that… great experience.

Very good fun day out...

Henry_W, Mar 2022

Very good fun day out with the dune bugging the highlight. The camel ride could have been slightly longer.

Amazing experience. Great guy fantastic price

Eric_H, Jan 2022

Noor the guide came picked us up took us to the camel ride in a nice and comfortable 4x4 and then to the dunes on to ride the super fast 2000cc Buggys on the dunes. We stopped and did sand boarding which was fun. The guys working there were also very nice. Originally I looked at a few other combos and options but they were cheaper and had crap slow buggys and no camel ride or sand boarding. I would highly recommend this package. If you are looking at different Dune packages stop now and order this. You wont regret it.

Memories for a lifetime

Leanne_S, Jul 2020

From the confirmations and perfectly timed pick up, this adventure was the making of memories. A Stunning and tailored ride through the beautiful desert with experienced and seasoned guides. Not your average dune buggy ride, but truly riding through the dunes. Thrilling, exciting and the buggies are actual buggies, not quad bikes or Polaris. Joseph was charming and light hearted and willing to go the extra mile for the guests. His goal is to make sure you are happy, safe and having the best ride.
