Rasheed made the experience so much more enjoyable and fun for all.

Ask for Rasheed for sure! He guided us through all different activities without waiting in lines. He also took the time and showed us a camel racing club and explained the history of this sport. He also knew where the spots were to take unforgettable photos. Great dune bashing too!

Honeymoon Experience

Brilliant day with our guide Rasheed. Comfortable ride to the dessert, where we had great camel rides. We then had a great time dune bashing with Rasheed's great skills. Nice long ATV rides over the dunes was a good experience. The shows and food were also great, well worth the trip and would highly recommend

Meh

We was picked up late (hour late) and it takes an hour to get to the desert and missed out on sand boarding and didn’t realise the dune bashing was inside the same “4x4” we was picked up in the quad bikes were fun and the camp looked cool and had really good oud to buy but the food was not international so i’d suggest eating before if your fussy. the fire show was really good. our guide was nice but wasn’t compensated for the lack of things that weren’t included as we paid for VIP package and our seats were not in the the air con? Some cars you get picked up in can be cramped and isn’t good if you have long legs and you tend to car hop between others for their convenience. A couple years ago this used to be much different and felt like it was worth the money. fortunately this doesn’t feel like a huge loss just disappointed as i then watched a guide force and watch their people write good reviews without a choice to then send to the head guy. this is uncomfortable as you can’t be honest.
