Great driver Ahmed - very friendly

sopranocorry, Dec 2023

The dune bashing was fun. Camel was just one only badly trained unresponsive camel. Dinner was okay but not great. Enjoyed the shows of dancer and also twirling dancer. Enjoyed the fire eater/dancer show, he was very skilled.

Dessert Tour

Brittany_S, Nov 2023

Our tour was very memorable and our driver was amazing! However- we paid for experiences through Viator but we did not receive them or were charged extra at the place. For example- we were told that Henna tattoos were included, but then had to pay for them. I would also be hesitant of camel riding as the camels did not look well taken care of.

Not great. Wouldn’t recommend.

DeeJee_C, Nov 2023

Unlimited Shisha is not true: only starts at 7.30pm at a corner of the compound, far from stage. Everyone has to share. Camel farm is a drive by, we didn’t even get to get out of the car to take photos. BBQ dinner is NOT a buffet, I couldn’t get a second round as the meat has run out: only one per person. Stars are not visible. Camel ride is just 60m walk within the compound. Camel looks badly taken care of. Poor camels. They squeezed 6 passengers in the Car, the 2 seats at the back is VERY uncomfortable. Should not have more than 4 passengers in the car. Sand dune bashing was ok, about 10-15mins only. Stage shows were good.

Desert trip

Ulrike_G, Nov 2023

The location is great and the food is excellent- the people are super nice - but there is too much slow time - this could easily be one hour shorter.

Gripping and fun adventure

Dale_C, Feb 2023

Fantastic experience of dune bashing. The other camp experiences were great eg food, camel riding etc but the dancing was especially good. Azia was a great informative and professional guide, but his special driving ability was to be admired. Conformation between customer and provider should be by email.

Adrenaline rush in the desert!

RICK_S, Jan 2023

Dune bash! An unforgettable experience with expert drivers. The safari later was very nice and intertaining. Very well worth the time and expense.

Dune bashing driving...

Dune bashing driving skills from the very best driver you’ll ever meet in your life. Extraordinary Marvelous

Desert safari

Stephen_N, Dec 2021

This is the perfect experience for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi. It was so well organised and great that they pick you up from where you’re staying. The dune bashing was out of this world and it was lovely to relax afterwards in the camp with good food and entertainment. The total time of this trip was 7hrs from pick up to drop off, I can’t believe we did all this for the equivalent of £50, I would have gladly paid three times that for it 👍🏼

Rip off

Devin_M, Jul 2021

I contacted the company for the address. When we drove to the location, all we saw were camels and no people. I tried to call them multiple times and the phone line was not going through. I would save your money and not use this company. This is a rip off! I experienced that 1st hand.

Intense

Jonathan L, Jan 2020

Excellent communication with staff via WhatsApp. Dune bashing is very intense and someone puked in my car. Be prepared, it's not for the faint of heart! There are many activities to enjoy at the camp. Despite the rain, I felt we were in good hands. Overall I enjoyed this pleasant day with my Indian guide. Unfortunately the renowned Arabic hospitality I felt was missing from the trip.

Esperienza fantastica!

Arianna_S, Jan 2023

Vi consiglio di prenotare questo tour nel deserto. Abbiamo fatto vari tour ma questo è stato il più bello ed il più divertente di tutti. Il nostro autista esperto nella guida sulle dune del deserto, tanto gentile e simpatico, ci ha spiegato per tutto il tempo come svolgere le varie attività e ed è stato sempre disponibile con noi. Lo rifaremmo altre mille volte! Non perdetelo!!

Nie wieder Safari-Tour !!!

Heidrun_R, Dec 2021

Zunächst wollte der Guide uns nicht wie vereinbart an unserem Hotel abholen. Erst nach Telefonat erfolgte eine pünktliche Abholung am vereinbarten Ort. Auf der Fahrt zur ersten Attraktion der Wüsten-Safari war der Fahrer zu gefüllten 90% mit seinem Handy beschäftigt. Die 1. Attraktion, eine Fahrt mit dem SUV durch die Wüstendünen, dauerte etwa 30 Minuten und hat unseren Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht entsprochen. Danach erfolgten ENDLOSE Wartezeiten mit mäßigen Unterhaltungswert. Der Guide war nur noch selten und dann aus weiter Entfernung zu sehen. Viele im Programm aufgeführte Highlights wurden nicht angeboten bzw. angepriesen. Fazit der sogenannten Wüsten-Safari: Tolle Dünenfahrt und sonst nichts! Preis / Leistung stimmten nicht. Tags zuvor hatten wir eine über Viator gebuchte Tagestour von Abu Dhabi nach Dubai, die ein absolutes Highlight darstellte, auch Dank des herausragenden Guides Sudath Manodara von Emirates Tours
