Highly recommended

elena_s, Apr 2024

Highlight of our Dubai trip!! The guide/ driver was very nice, helpful, knowledgeable. We went to 430am experience to watch sunrise, the time just suited us because we had jet lag. Seeing the sunrise in desert was a miracle experience, you will be so amazed by God’s creation.

Best sunrise safari experience with the family

Alwin_C, Apr 2023

Hashim is an excellent driver/tour guide for this sunrise safari. He is a highly skilled driver and that you wouldn’t be scared at all. This tour is as described and even more, always attentive to the guests need and on time with everything. Best experience in the dessert, 4x4 ride, sandboarding, sunrise view on top of dessert, camel ride, atv and buggy, if you choose at your own expense, and all in all best experience in the dessert

Breathtaking

Super fun experience!! It was amazing from start to finish- we enjoyed the thrilling rides on top of the dunes, attempting to sand board, and watching the sun rise on the mountains. Absolutely breath taking on multiple accounts.
