Don’t forget to bring along your camera to capture the panoramic views of the desert bathed in the golden light of the sun. Continue the safari with a visit to a Camel farm.

Great service, great experience!

I approached them really late, around 10 PM for a sunrise tour the next day. They were very prompted and organised everything for me right away. I had one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen and I even got to see a desert fox 🤩. Of course dune bashing was also fun. Sultan, the guide was great, he patiently waited for me to take all the photos of the desert plants I wanted and gave me a great experience.

It was all a GOOD tour.

It was a great experience. As the darkness was getting darker and darker, we blasted through the desert! Our guide Aziz was great driving and attentive. The sunrise was hidden by clouds, but the beauty of the sunrise sky and desert made it look like another world. On the way, I ran into a camel father and son, and I was lucky that Aziz came up to me and took a picture. Later on, camel riding included in the tour. It wasn't a long time, but I thought it was enough of an experience. They were very flexible in the drop-off on the way back and I was grateful for their warm support until the end! I decided to join this tour because I was being picked up and dropped off at the cruise port, but the tour company staff, Elisabetta, showed me around with great accuracy and I was very comfortable. If I have another chance, I'd love to ask this. In total, I was very satisfied.

Good day out to go see the desert!

Pickup and comms was great. The desert was very pretty despite the day being quite foggy. Aziz was a great guide and driver. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, spoke good English and was an excellent dune bashing driver. We had a great time doing that! The camel riding was a bit shorter than expected (a lap around a pen rather than travelling from point to point) but still a good day out and good value for money.

Superb sunrise safari experience

Had a wonderful experience with Yousef and Mohamed, who are professional gentlemen. I was traveling with my 6 year old daughter. They took care of us, took pictures of us (some great shots!) and helped both of us successfully sandboard down the hill. We were not able to have breakfast because our party was only 2 people. It would have been nice to not be charged for that if not included, but other than that, I have have nothing negative to say. We had a wonderful time!

Operator response

Sunrise in the dessert

We booked the sunrise desert safari spontaneously in the evening. A simple call and with nice and competent advice we have clarified the details (pick-up at the hotel, time and activities). The drive into the desert was about 35 min and relaxed in the new Toyota Landcruiser. The dune bashing was a lot of fun and the sunrise was also a real experience, even if it was slightly cloudy. The camel riding was rather short-lived, so 30 min there and 30 meters back. But since we didn't attach much importance to it anyway, it was perfectly ok, but could definitely bother others.

Operator response

Dear guest, Thanks for the valuable feedback. We are very happy to serve our tours & safaris to our valuable customers like you. We are looking forward to your future journey. Once again Thank You. Do visit again!

Amazing Experience - Everyone Should Go

We had the most amazing time on our sunrise trip with Mohamed. Everything was perfect. We learned so much about Abu Dhabi during our trip and we truly appreciated all of Mohamed’s information about his country, customs, and culture. We had no idea what to expect on this tour. The vehicle had plenty of room for the 4 of us, and the car could have seated 2 more. Looking back on our trip hard to believe all of these activities occurred before 9:00am! Dune bashing, amazing Sunrise, spectacular Camels, our new favorite animal Camel rides, so cool Breakfast, delicious We absolutely loved our trip and we highly recommend it. What an experience to remember forever!
