Traveler reviews
Stargazing experience
We were on another experience - Stargazing. Wonderful!!! Very good expert, very interesting. Also nice place, will visit more times! Thank you!
really great day out
Really great day out - Haroos was our driver & guide - very knowledgeable and a super driver, in the dunes especially. The 2 teens enjoyed it all immensely including some "sand boarding" ! Lovely traditional meal and then the star gazing was way more interesting than any of us thought it would be thanks to our highly qualified guide. He had a super powerful 100x telescope! Recommend it highly
Not recommended
Everything. Low-skilled personnel. Driver Not reliable when driving . Not recommended for children and not only.
First safari
A very interesting adventure! It's not even a tour, it's a "test drive LD 200" with a little immersion in local life )) We went from Ajman, transfer from/to the hotel. Thank you to our driver guide Mohammed! It wasn't boring in the car, had a nice time having small talk )) Driving on the dunes is beyond praise! Cars and drivers are professionally trained (elevator, internal safety frame, driving pros), not just civilian versions. Very fun and interesting, LD 200 - desert ship)) There were a few stops along the way to catch your breath. Just met a camel caravan! In the camp we rode camels themselves, boarded in the sand (not snowboarding, but interesting experience), you can take a quad race (we didn't). The show was amused )) a pleasant dinner, fresher and fresher, prepared here on coals (lamb barbecue, chicken), salads and sweets. The return trip took less time, as the highway is only a kilometer across the desert.
Desert Safari
Sahib was our driver and I must say he was amazing and also had a great Sense of humor.He made sure he explained everything from start to finish and most importantly always made sure we felt safe. It was an amazing tour and I would love to do it again.
