The desert safari was a great experience overall. Everything was well organized, and the activities were enjoyable. Our guide, TAJ, was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. He ensured everyone was comfortable and made the safari fun and safe. Highly recommended!

Amazing Desert Adventure with Awais!

We had such a fantastic time sandboarding, camel riding, and driving through the dunes! The whole experience was full of fun and excitement from start to finish. Awais was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the trip. He took great photos, gave clear instructions, and really went above and beyond to make the day special.

Beware!!!!

BEWARE!!!! Do not BOOK this excursion !!!! Driver arrived in an old SUV. It was full to capacity, so my party of 3 had to sit in the very back with very little air-conditioning. I was sweltering with heat exhaustion and it was an hour drive to desert. Driver was a bit inconsiderate and drove like a crazy man . My husband was car sick from all the turns … worst excursion ever . We needed up leaving early and did not see the BBQ or show
