Everything was great. It was a great value for the activity and everyone was super friendly. The food was excellent.
Super fun ride ! Ahmed was an excellent driver! He made the trip really fun It was the perfect evening , Price was excellent for what we received
We couldn't see anything because we weren't there. Driver wasn't there. Please money back!!!!
Highly recommend if you have a free afternoon and evening in Abu Dhabi. It’s easy with hotel pick up and drop off and fun and unique desert experience
we expected more because it was presented like that. It says that unlimited shisha is included, but it needs to be paid for. It also said that photography with a falcon was included, but the man wanted to charge us, so we argued and managed to prove that it was included in the price. My friend and a woman who was also on tour with us were very sick while driving on the dunes and threw up, so I suggest that the drivers have vomit bags in their cars to avoid an incident. We did not like the food at all because it was terribly seasoned and the hot dog was not cooked, the chicken was dry. We only had nice salads. Also, don't expect much from camel riding, because we could literally ride a camel for 30 seconds, and you have to pay extra for longer rides. It will be very hot in the desert in the afternoon and very cold at night, so I suggest you bring something long for the evening. Henna on the hands also has to be paid for if you want a larger design, a smaller one that is only on one finger is free. We didn't manage to go sand boarding because there were too many people waiting and we didn't get there because the guide called us to go back. I don't know what else to write, I think that's it, but I was a little disappointed with the overall experience, that's the point.
Overall this company delivered, but not everything was as promised. One day before our reservation we were told that they could not pick us up in Al Ain even though pick-up is included in the ticket price. Luckily we had a car, but we had to use our gas to drive one hour in each direction, and we didn't receive any discount for this inconvenience and expense. In addition, we did not visit a camel farm as promised, nor was there unlimited shisha - you had to pay extra if you wanted more than just a try. Most disappointing was that none of the staff spoke much English, so there was no cultural explanation or educative component to the evening. It was pure entertainment without any accompanying description of what we were experiencing. The staff could barely respond to the simplest of questions; they were obviously not from the Gulf region. We don't regret doing it, but it was overpriced and we felt taken advantage of as tourists.
The dune bashing was fun. Camel was just one only badly trained unresponsive camel. Dinner was okay but not great. Enjoyed the shows of dancer and also twirling dancer. Enjoyed the fire eater/dancer show, he was very skilled.
Our tour was very memorable and our driver was amazing! However- we paid for experiences through Viator but we did not receive them or were charged extra at the place. For example- we were told that Henna tattoos were included, but then had to pay for them. I would also be hesitant of camel riding as the camels did not look well taken care of.
Unlimited Shisha is not true: only starts at 7.30pm at a corner of the compound, far from stage. Everyone has to share. Camel farm is a drive by, we didn’t even get to get out of the car to take photos. BBQ dinner is NOT a buffet, I couldn’t get a second round as the meat has run out: only one per person. Stars are not visible. Camel ride is just 60m walk within the compound. Camel looks badly taken care of. Poor camels. They squeezed 6 passengers in the Car, the 2 seats at the back is VERY uncomfortable. Should not have more than 4 passengers in the car. Sand dune bashing was ok, about 10-15mins only. Stage shows were good.
The location is great and the food is excellent- the people are super nice - but there is too much slow time - this could easily be one hour shorter.
