Aussie first encounter with dunes
The 4wd sand dune and sand boarding experience was great we never felt unsafe, the photos with the sunset was exceptional. The bbq dinner and show was good the upgrade to VIP was worth doing. The pressure to purchase photos and souvenirs was a little over the top. Overall experience was a fantastic day and would recommend this company.

Desert safari
We really enjoyed the safari on the dunes and the barbecue dinner with fire shows. I only regret that we took the camel ride. The animals were very tired and beaten to obey the people who made them to stand up, walk and sit down now and again, who knows for how many hours a day. I don’t recommend it so as not to encourage people to use camels as tourist attraction. It is not worth the suffering of the poor animals.

Highly recommend
Went on safari yesterday, highly recommend!
Communication from Jameel the morning of the safari was great. Received a WhatsApp in the morning advising the pick up time, the name of our driver, picture of the car.
Our driver Nadeem was great, really experienced and explained what we were doing throughout the trip.
We stopped at several points for photos, quad biking (optional extra) dune bashing, dune boarding and the at the show at the end.
