    Brilliant Experience

    Victoria_O, Dec 2025
    This was a brilliant experience. We are a family of 4 (3 adults & 1 teen) and we absolutely loved it! We had the privacy of the vehicle to ourselves and the tour guide Rashid was so helpful. He gave us local information as we drove to the desert and constantly provided us with water throughout the tour. He helped us with the scarfs and ensured that the dune bashing experience was at our requested pace. He also took various photos for us as requested. We enjoyed it all - the dune bashing, sandboarding, camel ride, falcon experience and quad biking. I would highly recommend this experience and Rashid in particular as a tour guide.
