Salman was the best tourguide i had. So gentle, polite and always for us there at the right time. Really good driver.👍🏻

During our trip, we were most thrilled by the off-road adventure, quad rides, and the group grill. Our group leader (the captain Muhammad) took care of every detail, showing not only professionalism but also a lot of care. He made sure we didn’t overpay for extras like shisha, and even brought us dinner when the lines were long. Out of his own kindness, he would also bring us sweets. The breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences made this trip truly remarkable. The atmosphere was fantastic – I highly recommend it to everyone! An added bonus is the affordable price for an experience that lasts almost the entire day.

Our tour guide was Qamar who was a very personable and knowledgable guy. From the journey to the desert to dropping us back at the apartment, he made the day seemless with his energy.
We didn't plan on the doing the quad biking but glad we did as it was thoroughly enjoyable. Our Kids loved the camel rides and the guide was very good at capturing photos for everyone.
The desert safari itself was captivating as the dunes went on forever and were beautiful. You stop off half way to do sand boarding which again is great fun.
Thanks again to Qamar for making a once in a lifetime trip even more special.
