I liked our guide, camels, driving in the desert, food, show. Was good, But it all took a lot of time. First, we were brought an hour earlier to the parking ,where they offered to ride a quad bike for extra money,then we went to the desert and waited 2 hours again. This tour could have been made shorter , not from2-8, without waiting. If you have enough time, I recommend it, but if you don't have much time, don't waste your day, because take from 2-8. But you waited on the round 3 hours.

It is probably the most spectacular, clean and beautiful garden on the planet. Ideal to take pictures of my wife for her birthday. Amazing all the flowers.

The tour was extremely commercial. There are vendors in your face all the time trying to sell stuff at venue. Dune dashing was a ride without many dunes. Camel ride is just a 2 minute tour. I was extremely disappointed.

Desert adventure

Experience a 30‑minute dune bashing session in a certified 4x4 that navigates the dynamic terrain of the red dunes. A scheduled stop at the highest dune gives you time for sandboarding and capturing sunset photos.
