    The Desert Safari was very well organized, pick up and drop off locations were exact, the car was very nice and safe, our tour guide/driver was also very kind and helpful. Camel riding, dune bashing and the desert view itself will be a memorable experience, you shouldn't miss it! Thank you for everything

    Great experience, definitely worth the time and money. Desert is beautiful in February. It's still not too hot, so at this time of year is pretty amazing. Our driver was Noor, and he show some amazing skills while driving through the dunes.

    Najeeb was a fab guide and driver on the dunes. He correctly encouraged us to upgrade our quad bike experience to the dunes and not the small area. Initially we were reluctant, being tight English! However we did and we were so grateful for doing so. It was long and fab. Defo one on your list to do. We will return. The guide for the quads was also excellent. Excellent communication with booking and guide re pick up and all questions answere promptly. Overall excellent service.
