Don't Miss This Fun Safari With Your Private Guide

It was an excellent experience. We really liked our guide. My apologies for not remembering his name. He had a wonderful personality and as we drove to/from the desert, he pointed interesting things out to us.

We were requested to publish a review the guide himself wrote

We had an early morning Desert Safari experience with our guide Haris which seemed like a nice guy, polite, funny and informative. We got to the desert just in time to see sunrise which was great, but damn it was cold! Sand was very nice, soft and velvety reddish in color. Unfortunately there were also a lot of trash lying around on some parts of the dunes and it seems like no one really cared to clean this out (these were not new trash, but laying there for a long time, pilling up), this was not very appealing ... Dune bashing was okay, but nothing particular trilling and exciting as we were hoping for and as we were promised. Even my girls did not found it very exciting, we are all expected more fun ride! Our guide even made dune bashing a bit shorter (much less than 45min) stating that the girls were too terrified, well they were not. Hawk holding, camel riding and sandboarding were more or less just for a quick photo opportunity. This whole experience was more focused on getting you a few photos of you in the desert, if you're looking for a more lived-in & authentic experience, you should look elsewhere ... We really expected a bit more for the money, more than a half of the time was used only for drive us to the desert place and return us back to the hotel ... Then comes extremely lame part: after our Safari experience was over, before we were taken back to the city, our guide requested me to publish reviews on several internet platforms in front of him, he even sent me message with links to platforms and prewritten text which I had to paste in there ... and after I published it, he even deleted those messages to 'remove the evidence', haha, nice try! This was a pretty desperate and bad move which definitely left a very dark impression over the whole experience.

Camels, falcons and buggies!

Spent a great lunchtime with Matt and Lene having our photo taking with a falcon and camel riding, topped off with a buggy ride through the dunes! Abdullah was a great host picking us up from the hotel and looking after us whilst in the desert. He dropped us back at the hotel on time!
