    Extremely bad experience

    yan_v, Dec 2025
    I showed up at the meet up point but there’s no one, I tried to reach out to the tour operator in this app but there is no reply

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    I’m very but you showed up very late after we left , I would recommend you to come 30 minutes before the trip starts

    Excelent for family and friends

    The tour was very good organized, specially if you have small children, they have a funny day with camels and the sandboard. The tour guide Abdulah take in serious his task to make you happy and enjoy the day among the others. I really recommend this tour agency. Thank you

    A huge disappointment

    Akira_M, Oct 2024
    It would be fun if you are seeking excitement driving fast on sand dunes, but I was expecting some bedouin like experience on camel back and campfire viewing red dunes and starry skies. Sadly none of that. Instead loud music, long waits without any information, staff themselves sitting back enjoying shisha while guests are all bored looking at their mobile phones. I was shocked to see staff throwing cigarette buds too littering. There were other issues I won’t mention but all in all, it was a huge disappointment and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone seeking a true desert experience.

    RED DUNES EXPERIENCE

    Marta_M, Sep 2024
    Beshar was an amazing guide. He looked after us throughout the trip, explaining all the key sights and traditions. We rode motorbikes, visited a Bedouin farm with camels, goats and hens, did sandboarding, rode camels and had a great dinner in the camp (salad, chicken and rice). Before leaving, we looked at the stars in the middle of the night. I'd highly recommend it.

    Excellent experience

    Excellent day from when Mohammed picked us up - took us to the Quad bike Venue , then out to the sands , where we have a fabulous few hours . Somewhat 'Saudi time ' on the pick up but a memorable day

    Rubbish, terribly. I won’t join again

    Hungsang_T, Dec 2023
    Bad experience with the tour. Terrible. Boring. Waste money. We just sit in the desert and nothing to do until we ask to have some activities.

    Response from Host, Dec 2023

    Can you please contact us and explain what happened?

    Good trip but very bad organised. They arrived late to the meeting point I don't know why, we were 4 different reservation waiting total 6 people if I didn't call them we will be waiting all the day. But the worst was nobody in our tour speaks English, we were 9 people from different countries and only they spoke arabic so impossible understand or communicate anything. Anyway kind people and we enjoyed but really bad organisation...

    Inte helt nöjd

    Häftigt att se solnedgången i Saudiarabien. Men dålig planering och mycket onödig dö tid. Hoppas dom bättrar sig i framtiden

    リヤドの砂漠へようこそ

    TAKAAKI_H, Dec 2023
    リヤドの砂漠を感じたいのであればこのツアーへぜひ!!!!! 四輪バギーで駆け抜ける爽快感、ラクダの餌あげ、砂漠の中での仕事アトラクション、自然の音しか聞こえない砂漠、そして砂漠の中で食べるご飯。 全てが新鮮です!!!
