Our guide Shaban was very good. We loved the dune bashing & squad bikes. My son was sick on the way back from the dune bashing and the guide was really kind and quickly ordered us a bike to come and collect us. We found the trip really good value for money and would definitely recommend.

sand flying and our adrenaline with it.

Melissa_B, Jan 2026

Shaban is a legend; not only as a driver but the full experience - driver, photography, guide, service, caretaking. Very positive energy and clear he loves this and wants us to. We climbed and drifted over hills in dune bashing elevated by a curated local electronic music soundtrack. He made sand fly and our adrenaline with it. After sand boarding, he pulled out an air compressor to take the sand from our clothes and shoes; next level. Then, camels, falcons and quads - all with the same shepherding from experience to experience with high positivity from Shaban. An action packed morning you will not want to miss.

Compact Fun Desert Safari Experience!

Murali_K, Dec 2025

Very good experience! Our guide was Hussain, he took care of everything, polite, and a very professional driver. Within 4 hours we covered everything - Camel riding, quad biking, bashing, sand boarding and photos and got ample time in everything. Dune bashing was executed very safely and professionally without the loss of thrill. And since it’s in the morning it too much crowd, can spend more time. Definitely would recommend!

Cool

Connor_H, Nov 2025

Everything feels a bit staged, but there were a lot of opportunities for cool photos. We went dune bashing (driving over the dunes) for ~30 min, camel riding for ~20 min, and ATVing for ~30 min. Unfortunately the ATVs were limited to a small sand patch unless you paid an extra 100 aed. The drive to and from the dunes was about 1hr each way.
