OK

Guide did his best, but traffic was high and camps far from each other. Probably due to Christmas week. Ok experience, but nothing more.

Desert Safari

Our guide Ali was very attentive and friendly, he accompanied us the whole time and gave us a lot of local information. The dune safari was very short and there was almost no time for sandboarding because they were in such a hurry! The desert barbecue had some setbacks with a power outage and the camel ride was just a lap around an enclosure. I would like to highlight our guide Ali once again, I highly recommend him!

Wonderful experience with family

I book on WhatsApp from Ahmedabad. Good experience with this service provider. Pickup in 4*4 land cruiser, dune bashing and camp was good. Only food quality needs to improve. Rest all was good specially all staff was behaving good. ATV bike payment is extra ( 150 to 250 dirham per bike for 30 minutes).
