OMG! What a great day out. We had Kareem as our guide who was amazing! Lots of safety briefings before the quads and buggies. This is well worth the money and suitable for all ages.
Took our own scarves but they are available to buy €6 when you hire the goggles €3. Having the camel rides and the village visit gives the day some authenticity. The sunset meal was delicious with lots of food available and the show to finish was entertaining.

The pick up vehicle has no air-conditioning and you sit on bunk seats in the back facing each other. This is the only part of the tour that was subpar. The desert center is well laid out, and the staff is very kind and knowledgeable. The camel ride, four wheeler ride and Dune buggy were wonderful. The idea that you get to drive your own vehicle is a little bit more inspiring. The meal was extremely good and we were quite hungry at the end of the day. The show got mixed reviews. Some of the performers were really skilled and others were just filling time. I think this is a very exciting and fun filled day, and you should give it a try. Adjust your expectations, you will be in the desert; but you’ll get a good feel for how the bediwin people live.

Advertisment Event . The Driving times are very short an slow . The Guests waiting very long and the guides took many Fotos for expensive money.

Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations.

Regarding the photos, purchasing photos is completely optional and handled by an independent photography team. Guests are under no obligation to buy any pictures if they do not wish to.
We appreciate your review and thank you for joining us. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving our services for future guests.
Hello,
The ATV and buggy activities were good, but unfortunately everything else was very disappointing and a waste of money for our family.
My little daughter became sick during the trip. Before the camel ride, we clearly mentioned that all four of us wanted to ride at the same time, but instead they took three of us while my oldest daughter had to wait alone and ride a camel with strangers. She became very scared and cried, which gave us a very bad experience.
After that, the jeep ride was extremely uncomfortable. The driving gave us headaches and motion sickness. We were then asked to eat food with unhygienic cutlery and poor conditions. During dinner, there was an unprofessional show with extremely loud music, and I became so sick that I vomited and had a severe headache. I felt unwell for the rest of the day afterwards.
And now today we discovered that we have been charged twice for the same tour — once from my card and once from my husband’s card. This is completely unacceptable, and we expect an explanation and a refund for the extra payment as soon as possible.
Overall, this was a very bad experience, and unfortunately I would never recommend this tour to anyone
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
First of all, we are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we sincerely regret that your daughter felt unwell during the trip. The weather on that day was extremely hot, and we completely understand how exhausting these conditions can be, especially for families with children.
We would also like to mention that the morning safari programs during the same period had much more comfortable weather conditions, while unfortunately your tour timing was during the hotter part of the day. Most of the feedback and reviews from other guests on the same program were generally positive and did not report similar issues, but we still fully respect and appreciate your personal experience.
Regarding the camel ride situation, we sincerely regret the misunderstanding and understand how upsetting this moment was for your daughter and your family.
As for the payment concern, after carefully checking our system, we could only find one confirmed booking and one payment directly with us. We could not identify any duplicate payment on our side. We kindly recommend reviewing your payment details carefully with the official booking platform or checking if another reservation may have been processed through a different provider or company.
We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our services and organization for future guests.
We wish you and your family a wonderful stay and hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you again on a better experience in the future.
Best regards,
Great value for money , long day but full of activity, buggies quads jeeps camels and finished of with a bbq , food was really nice also plus entertainment

We all had a wonderful and very memorable trip with some fabulous photos of the day.
Just to be aware health and safety isn’t in abundance. I asked for helmets for the quad bikes but they never materialised. There are no seatbelts in the jeeps that transport you to and from hotels and Bedouin village.
We took snacks with us which worked out well as didn’t have time for lunch before we were collected from the hotel and food was in the evening.
Wish we hadn’t paid the extra to go in to see the animals in the Bedouin village as it was so upsetting to see the animal cruelty occurring. The monkey is on such a short lease it could barely move around. The tortoise / baby turtle was in such a small bowl of water which it was struggling to climb out of. So sad 😢. That aside I would definitely recommend this trip just don’t visit this aspect if you dislike animals being treated unfairly.

We’re also very sorry to hear about your experience with the animals in the Bedouin village. We completely understand how upsetting that must have been, and we will pass your comments on to the relevant parties, as animal welfare should always be treated with care and respect.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to welcome you again on another trip that is even more enjoyable and comfortable for you 🙏
Everything went so smooth from pick up point to drop off. Everything was great thanks to Jamaica "kochanie".

For what the trip cost it was definitely value for money. However there was a lot of waiting around in between activities. Don’t expect to go fast as you are in a group.

Superb day ,
The buggy just needs to be longer and less restricted (we don't move fast at all); the quad was a little longer but not by much either.
The jeep was great with the village tour! We ate well but quite late though

Unfortunately not a VIP tour – long wait times, sales event, and safety deficiencies
We were picked up from the hotel on time, but the bus was completely overcrowded and very warm. Since other guests were picked up at several hotels, the trip there took a correspondingly long time.
After arriving, we first had to wait a very long time before the program even began. For the buggy ride, two people were supposed to ride together. Since there were five of us, I had to join another family and ultimately was only allowed to ride along as a passenger. Furthermore, the announced buggy ride did not even last 15 minutes. More time was spent on staged photos than on the actual driving.
After that, there were long wait times again. When riding the quads, the vehicles or parts of them were so hot that my daughter and I suffered burns on our legs. For me, that is a significant safety defect and should not have happened.
The Jeep ride to the Bedouin village was entertaining. On site, however, the announced camel ride consisted of only about five minutes. In my opinion, you don't have to drive through the desert for an hour for that. Instead, there were multiple attempts to sell us various products. In the extreme heat, there was also no reasonable way to get something to drink for free.
After the return trip, there were long periods of downtime and waiting again. The food was okay, but nothing special. Even after that, the focus was again on the sale of drinks, photos, and other products. We already knew the show in a very similar form from our hotel.
Overall, the tour had little to do with a "VIP safari" for us. There were too many waiting times, activities that were too short, and far too many sales attempts. Especially disappointing were the canceled or not fully usable buggy ride and the burns from quad biking.
Due to the safety deficiencies, the services not provided as expected, and the strong sales focus, I will request a refund from the tour operator. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this tour for families with children.

Dear Vanesa,
Thank you once again for your feedback.
After reviewing the operation of your tour, we would like to clarify a few points.
On the day of your excursion, yours was the only complaint received. Many other guests participated in the same tour under the same weather conditions, wearing suitable clothing for the desert environment, and completed the experience without reporting similar concerns.
Regarding drinks and personal purchases, these are provided by independent vendors at the camp and are entirely optional. We are not able to provide complimentary products or control their pricing. Guests are also welcome to bring their own drinks and personal items with them before the tour if they wish.
As for the activities, the program is operated as a shared group experience, so waiting times and activity durations may vary depending on the number of participants and operational requirements on the day.
We nevertheless appreciate your comments and have forwarded your observations to our local operations team for review, including your remarks regarding the quad bike, as guest safety is always important to us.
We are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations and wish you and your family all the best.
Nice activity, but with big flats.
1) I asked for a francophone guide and I did not get it. I only noticed it when I got there. I had the same joke with the sea swimming excursion with dolphins also via Viator
2) Awesome quad, but there is a stop to take pictures. The stop time is too long, we could drive longer instead of taking pictures.
3) Very nice buggy, but photo stop is useless
4) The nice camel but 5 min is really short
5) The jeep ride to the Bedouin village was very nice nothing wrong
6) The visit to the village should not be mentioned because it or nothing is the same
7) Meal and show ok

Very good experience. We had a very good day that we will not forget! It was complete because we were able to buggy, quad bike, be driven on jeep safari to the Bedouin village where we visited locals and where we also made camel there. I recommend this activity.
