Doha : Half Day Desert Safari With SandBoarding and Camel Ride

Wow, where do I start. It’s very rare I write a review but when you have this level of service and fun it would be wrong not to. Firstly, our driver for the afternoon Noor was incredible, he arrived on time, called us to check the bookings and nothing was too much trouble. He was really chatty and on the way to the desert he told us all about the sights to go and see, as well as interesting facts on anything we passed on route. He was fantastic with the 2 kids all day and wanted to make sure we had the best time. Ok on to the tour which I would recommend the afternoon tour as there was plenty of time to do everything and it’s about 45 minutes from Doha to the desert. We arrived at the desert where the tyres were let down and during that time we took a short 5 minute camel ride which the kids loved. After that it’s off to the dune bashing which Noor was awesome and took the 4x4 to places which seemed impossible. We told Noor the boys wanted to try the sand boarding which was brilliant. Don’t worry, if you can’t snowboard they have sledges too which were fast down the dunes. There was no pressure in time to spend there and we were there at least 20 mins. By then I was struggling to walk back to the top of the dune as it’s super tiring. Next on to the inland sea which we arrived before the sun went down and it’s amazing to see and you can actually see the Saudi boarder the other side of the sea. Stayed there 10 mins and took some nice photos before heading back to the start point to refill the tyres with air. On the way back Noor bought us some Karak which is a local Arab tea. It’s quite sweet and I’m told is like chai tea and I recommend it. At no time were we asked to pay for anything extra on the trip (you need to pay for the camel ride in the booking section) and there was nothing hidden. Noor dropped us back at the hotel at almost 7pm after being collected at 2:30pm. I’ve done dune bashing in Dubai and I can honestly say this was by far better and highly recommend it. If anything, ask for Noor.
