We have been on this experience many times and decided to take our niece! I must say it’s the best one yet! Our driver Nasir was amazing and funny! The whole experience was perfect from pick up, to explaining different parts of Dubai during the route to the desert, and the dune bashing was the craziest yet!! The food and entertainment was also spot on! Thank you so much. We will be sure to recommend this experience!
