The communication was good, day before received a reminder message about the safari. Indid ask if there was anything we needed to know about what was on the itinerary and was responded with 'nothing special'. Then on the day received another message with exact time of pick up. The only thing I would say is it would have been nice to know what the plan of the day was. We were driven to a place and told we will be here for 45mins having no idea why we were there 🤷‍♀️. There were shops, a quad biking place and a couple of people walking around with falcons to take photos. - which you had to pay for. Then arriving at the main base area. Dune bashing- was not informed before the driver started it. We had two children with us (1 year old and 3 year old. So would have been nice to have been told what was about to happen! Our 3 year old cried the whole time! The rest was hanging about taking photos etc the camel ride - it said in the inclusion when booking tickets 10-15mins ride. The guide said a few mins ride and then you have to pay for 10-15mins ride 🤔 There were people taking photos and then literally forcing you to buy them! And at the end of it I seen them giving away the photos for free to the people who didn't fall for their sympathy stories!!! We paid over £50!!! We had two little ones and I asked my husband to get us food when the buffet opened because it's quite difficult with the children. However he was told at the food station he could not get more than one plate!! By the time I went they were closing everything so hardly got much to eat!! Just a heads up most of these inclusions that are mentioned you have to pay for! Overall it was a good first time experience at the desert but definitely could have been better!

Beautiful excursion in beautiful location. Transport was well arranged friendly driver. Pity about alcohol and belly dancer that was not for us. On the way back, driver was driving too fast and continuously busy with phone while driving.
