The pick up was exactly in time and also the return back was organizend well. The Guide Ehsan Khan Battani was very friendly and cared about as very well. Especially during the dune bashing and the dune surfing. He took a lot of very good picturs from us and really motivated us to many poses. Very good :-)

We had a great experience with out driver and guide Malik. It was a well spent time and definitely worth the price. I recommend this tour to everyone, who want just pure desert experience without the night camp.

The safari is a great value for those of us who just want the basic desert safari experience without all the bells and whistles. Our guide and driver, Aftab, was friendly and professional. He gave us a great dune bashing experience and did not try to push us to add things to the safari that we did not want.
