Amazing day
This was an amazing memorable day. I wasnt sure what to expect due to the heat, but the guides arranged on a time of day when it was the coolest. The transport was comfortable, and the food was good. Our tour guide Zubair took amazing insta-worthy photos for me as I was on my own, and was exceptional. There was so much to do and all of it was worthwhile. I would highly recommend for solo travellers, as well as families

Family fun in the desert
Our family had an absolutely fantastic desert adventure in Abu Dhabi! Every part of the experience was enjoyable, but the highlights for us were definitely the dune bashing and our time with the camels. The dune bashing was an incredible thrill and one of the most exciting things we’ve done on our trip. We also had a great time sandboarding and experiencing the beauty of the desert.
A special thank you to our guide, Ahram, who truly made the day exceptional. He was incredibly patient and kind with our kids, making sure they felt comfortable and had fun throughout the experience. He also went above and beyond to help us get amazing family photos that we’ll treasure for years to come.
The entire excursion was well-organized, fun, and memorable from start to finish. We left with wonderful memories, great pictures, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the Abu Dhabi desert. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Fun, safe and ontime
Thank you for great desert experience! Beautiful dune viewing in the morning! Great thanks to Ahmed for safely driving! Very lovely camp in the desert, lovely camel ride and kids enjoyed sandsurfing, too
We will do it again and probably will use bikes.

over commercialised and no really authentic feel
the host was nice but everywhere you turn they aretrying to get funds for you. For example camel ride is included but this is only for 30 seconds (go up and down) they want more money to go for a walk. Quads we were cut short etc etc
I feel is heavily commercial and people should be aware
