Rasheed Ali was the best! He did an excellent job explaining everything that we had the option to do. The safari was VERY fun lol! That was the one when enjoyed the most. We also enjoyed the camel ride, ATV riding, and sand boarding. Rasheed also has great customer service as well. Would highly recommend booking with!
Your review absolutely made our day! 😍 Knowing that you felt cared for, enjoyed the explanations, and would recommend us so highly is the best reward we could ask for. Thank you for choosing ABC Tours — hope to host you again soon!
Attentive to the needs of children. At the tented camp all very kind. Short and super tourist activities (tried only camel ride and sand boarding), nice but nothing exceptional. Good staff, super performers and really good dinner

Pick up time between 13.30 and 15.00 only advised at 12.15 which made it difficult to organise something earlier in the day and remain connected to receive the message of the pick up time. When advised the time we were threatened the driver will only wait 3 minutes for us for the pick up and then depart. When the driver was 15 minutes late I was getting worried that I had missed the driver despite being at pick up point 15 minutes early. Driver was distracted when driving regularly looking at his phone, drifting out lane, almost running into the back of the car in front only stopping less than 30 cms short after I called out a warning because his eyes were not on the road. Viator had many options for the same basic trip which were poorly laid out in Viator and I didn’t choose the option I thought I had which meant I had less time on one aspect and too much time on another aspect which should have been the other way around. Movement after the dune activities completed to site of dinner was clunky (as movement back after dinner completed). The tour included unlimited water and soda. It was over two hours after pick up before we were offered our first water. When we were transferred to the dining site we were directed to our area but we were told the bar “wasn’t” open. We queried that when the people who had paid for VIP treatment had been served drinks before we had arrived. We had to wait 30 minutes for the bar to open. When I approached the bar the only option was Coca cola which the person before me advised was luke warm. The barman then added ice cubes to the glass container holding the Coca Cola to cool it down. There was no other option available. Our driver sensed my frustration at this situation and intervened and sourced a cold bottle of Sprite. The VIP people were served their meal first (deservedly so as they had paid extra) but about 90 minutes after they were first served and we nearly two hours after we had arrived we was then able to access our food. The interesting thing is that our food was served from an entirely different area so why did we have to wait so long? The food had no labels so difficult to know exactly what some of it was, no allergen information. The meat was chicken drumsticks and chicken on skewers so limited options. I broke my plastic fork on the skewer the meat was that tough. Less than an hour after being offered our food we were bundled up to return to Dubai. Some of our group participated in Seesha smoking on our table. I acknowledge people have the right to smoke but when they continued to so when people were eating their food was not appreciated. Overall concept of tour good but do not recommend this operator do this with another operator.

Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Warm Regards, TEAM ABC
Everything was great except couple of things: 1) when the last show was over, we were all hurried to leave the campsite. Dessert was brought about 5 min before the show was over. We didn’t have time to eat the dessert and use the restrooms before we left the place. 2) Another thing that bothered me was the folks working there pressurized me to leave a 5 star review. He just stood by my side until I completed the review.
