Great desert experience
Rashid has really done everything possible to give us a great experience. He knows the right spots to take photos, have fun (sand boarding) and be amazed. Can only recommend a booking with him.
Overall disappointing experience.
Gentle Sands Experience - The 4x4 vehicle was old and tatty and not clean inside. The communication from the driver (Ahmad) was very confusing. The overall trip was not well organised and there was no tea/coffee as advertised. The bottle of water was tiny. Despite us choosing the Gentle Sands experience (due to back issues), he commented a few times that it wasn't fun unless it was a bit rougher and whilst his driving wasn't Dune Bashing, it definitely could have been a bit more sedate at times. Also, we specifically chose an experience without the Dune Buggies or Camels but he insisted on stopping at both locations even though we had said we weren't interested in them. Aside from that, the experience of being in the desert, surrounded by sand and seeing the sun setting, was amazing. The driver also did take some good photos for us. But overall, I would not recommend.
Excellent walk
Wonderful tour with the guide ZIA, comfortable car and a lively tour, ask to put the local songs and climb the dunes 👏👏
Great day in the desert
Aref led us on a wonderful fun day of dune bashing and exploring the desert. He was very courteous and was up for anything.
Perfect morning
Salmanca was a perfect guide! I really recommend this experience. It was lots of fun, photos and smiles. It was a pleasant to spend the morning in such way.
