Great! Thanks to Jafar our guide

We took the formula with safari and barbecue dinner. We had a great evening. Our guide Jafar was very kind very available and very helpful. He explained the monuments on the road and is an excellent driver. If you have the opportunity to call on his services go there with your eyes closed you will not be disappointed. Thank you Jafar for a memorable day

This is the perfect tour if you're...

<p>This is the perfect tour if you're wanting to try sandboarding. It is great fun but exhausting having to walk back up the dunes carrying your board after each turn. Our guide was friendly and informative and we enjoyed the dune bashing experience (and felt safe!) too.</p>
