The experience was amazing. Starting from Abi, the driver, that was a very nice person and like a clock to pick us up at the hotel. He responded to all our question during the trip and gave us details of everything that we saw. The dune bashing was incredible, he had a lot of experience driving and make us feel very safe and comfortable even when it is a risky experience. Beautiful sunset and wonderful views. Once on the camp, the food and shows were very good. We recommend this tour.

A fun evening

Michael_W, Aug 2023

After a mix-up (the driver collected the wrong couple) which cost an hour and a half we set off on an interesting evening of dune driving, a visit to ATV's (4 wheel motorbikes) and a dinner/show at one of the numerous camps spread through this part of the desert.

Good but information is lacking

We had a great experience with Mohammad for this trip. He was a very courteous and thoughtful driver. I just wish that when booking this experience that it would have mentioned that we would be sharing a car with two other people. My husband sat in the back with me in the middle and a gentleman next to him. He was very uncomfortable when taking the long drive and doing the sand bashing as there was nothing for him to hold on to. He also didn’t know the person next to him so he didn’t feel comfortable leaning that way. Our first stop was cool. We went to an atv place but you have to pay. My family greatly enjoyed this. This was definitely the highlight of the experience for us. The other thing that wasn’t mentioned was that we would be required to pay the falcon handler if we took pictures with the bird. I was being harassed to pay the handler even though the picture was suppose to be free. I then offered to pay him a $5. (20 AED) tip and he was not happy with that. He was trying to tell me how much to tip him for a supposedly free picture. I would rate the food and show a 3. We enjoyed the the camel ride. There wasn’t any sand boarding. They had a board for us to use but the sand wasn’t for sand boarding. We should have done it where we did the sand driving. That sand was perfect for it. All in all next time I would book the activities separately with Mohammad as my driver.

Our driver was very good and took good care of us. The walk in the dunes was nice as well as the little camel ride. The different shows have made us travel. Meal was good. Little downside on the language barrier and being too busy to spend money. If you don’t speak English it’s complicated when we chose this excursion because we were offered a French speaking guide. We still had a great time.

Superbe désert et spectacles! On en prend plein les yeux! Pas de snowboard sur le sable … Dommage que notre chauffeur Malik nous a stressé sur la route en roulant beaucoup trop vite tout en étant sur son clavier de natel…. Pas professionnel !
