Fabulous
Our tour guide, Hasan, was fantastic; he was witty,, kind, and engaging. He did an excellent job of educating my children about the history of the desert safari. The camel rides and ATV rides were terrific, and we especially liked the dinner and dancing. He offered to stop because my younger son was experiencing motion nausea and provided water. Very caring. We will definitely recommend his company.
