Amazing tour

We found this guide Sahid, thanks to the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, and I can only confirm every single words of them. From the very first moment we met, he was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. We did the tour in a very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean car and we also experienced an amazing dune bashing ride in the desert, which was so much fun. He treated us to a taste of camel meat and a delicious traditional tea which was a lovely and authentic touch. He fulfilled every request we had and made my son extremely happy by taking us for an exciting quad ride. It was also my birthday and together with my husband, he surprised me in the desert with a moment I will never forget. An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
