Beautiful desert experience

Lovely trip! Driving over the sand dunes, option to quat bike in the desert, option to ride the camel while arriving on a beautiful camp afterwards. Food was arranged very well, there is a photographer making pictures which can be bought afterwards, there is free apple shisha to use, a henna lady, some souvenirs to be bought and performance afterwards. Me and my friend where the only once that stayed overnight which gave us a private experience by luck 💛 recommend. Nitin, our guide, took care of us so well and was a good and friendly driver to have. Thanks again!

Great trip but 8 hours better than 17 hours

Aldo our guide was really helpful, the 4x4 through the Dune was great fun. Good photo opportunities. The evening entertainment was good quailty - belly dancer, arabian dancer and fire eater. BBq dinner was good. The experience of sleeping under the stars was not so great, lots of light polution. No mattresses supplied just a sleeping bag for a mattress and a sleeping bag to sleep in. The 8 hours trip of 4x4, bbq and evening entertainment I would recommend but not the addition of sleeping in a tent

Great to experience this with Javeed

We couldn't wish for a better tour guide than Javeed who picked us up at the hotel on time, drove us to the desert and made sure we were taken care of as VIPs. Orient Tours has a great camp in the desert where you can explore all wonders nature and the desert can bring you, but all of this wouldn't be successful without Javeed. Thank you Javeed, you are areal STAR of Orient Tours and this company should cherish tour guides like you. Merci from your Belgian guests, et à la prochaine. Patrick & Sandra

Highly recommended

This was a great trip. The staff were friendly and personable. The evening meal was excellent, and the overnight stay in the desert was very peaceful, the sunset and sunrise were memorable. Our guide, Rashid, was awesome and provided an excellent service from the hotel pick up to the drop off the following day. A fun day and night.
