Basih and Abdelkader were our guides in the desert, and the experience was simply incredible. Driving through the dunes was absolutely unforgettable — a real adventure that exceeded all our expectations. From the very beginning, their treatment was wonderful. They were incredibly patient, always positive, and brought such an amazing energy that made the whole experience even more special. We would do it again and again with them. We will always choose them, because we’ve done other activities with different guides before and it’s just not the same… they are on another level. Professional, friendly, fun, and full of good vibes that truly make a difference. For us, they are simply the best. 🌵✨🚙
We are truly grateful for your kind words about Basith and Abdelkader. Exploring the majestic dunes of the Liwa Desert is always a special experience, but having professional, passionate desert guides makes all the difference. Your appreciation of their patience, positive energy, and dedication means a lot to us. The full-day adventure across the breathtaking landscapes of the Rub’ al Khali is designed to offer a true off-road desert exploration — from high dune driving and panoramic viewpoints to authentic desert moments that go far beyond a standard safari.

The private tour to the Rub Al-Khali desert with our guide Pasha was a great experience and exceeded our expectations! We were picked up at the hotel in Abu Dhabi and drove about 2h to Liwa. In Liwa, the desert tour started and ended in the Moreeb Dune, where we could still admire the Liwa Festival and the sunset in the desert. Afterwards we were taken back to our hotel. All in all a recommended tour!

This was the best experience during my last 2 years in UAE. Firstly, booking was seamless and easy. Secondly, amazing guide picked us up exactly on time in a shiny new Land Cruiser Thirdly, guide knew the desert perfectly, had amazing driving skills and showed us divine places. We had amazing lunch in the oasis, food was included and tasted excellent. Every meal was accompanied by free soft drinks and water. In the end of the day we watched sunset and were delivered to our car. I give this 6 out of 5 stars. Truly amazing experience. Thank you.

An unforgettable experience in the Abu Dhabi desert! We did a full-day desert safari with Bashit today – and it was just fantastic! Even the start at 9 o'clock with the pickup at the hotel went smoothly. Afterwards we went straight to the desert, where we were able to experience a beautiful and at the same time adventurous ride through the dunes. A special highlight was the stop in the middle of the desert on a small farm where we could enjoy a delicious lunch in the shade. The tranquillity and vastness there were simply magical – a moment you won’t forget. Then we visited a camel farm and the highest sign in the world in the Liwa Oasis. It was not a typical tourist tour, but a very personal experience. We were all to ourselves, far and wide no one else could be seen – that really made the tour special. There were many great photos taken of us, and also drinks and toilets were provided at all times. Our driver Bashit was super friendly, told us a lot about the region and made the tour perfect with his likeable nature. I can absolutely recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience in the desert! 🌵🐪✨
