We did not expect to join hundreds...

Diane B, Oct 2014

We did not expect to join hundreds of other vehicles on our trip! The visit to the camel farm was interesting and dune bashing OK. The "Bedouin camp" was disappointing as was the food - very ordinary. There were a lot of people there and only four camels for a short ride. Entertainment just OK The worst part was the accommodation - just 2 man tents in the middle of the arena, very uncomfortable thin mattresses and old sleeping bags with a cushion from the lounge for a pillow! We hardly slept all night and were pleased to get back to our hotel after a VERY ordinary breakfast!

Julie V, Jan 2012

Was well worth paying extra for private vehicle. Broke my wrist quad biking, that hurt. Continued on with the trip, bandaging my wrist (which is now in cast). I took my tripod expecting to get some great sunset shots, I didn't. So don't waste your time dragging your tripod around the world. Food was beautiful. Plenty of choice of drinks. Toilets were clean. There was about 40 people for dinner and we were only couple that stayed over, which was great. Would not want to experience dinner and overnight in peak season when its busy, would spoil the experience.

F M M, Feb 2011

Great belly dancing. Food was really mediocre for the price. Stayed overnight in the desert but never slept as planes flew over every 2 minutes all night. Obviously in the flight path

Response from Host, Feb 2011

Thanks for your honest feedback. We've contacted our local supplier and we are following up to ensure this does not happen again.

Buchungsabwicklung, Reiseunterlagen...

andrè m, Jun 2015

Buchungsabwicklung, Reiseunterlagen, Pünktlichkeit und Durchführung waren absolut top. Zunächst ging es im dem Geländewagen in die Wüste. Wir trafen uns mit weitern Fahrzeugen und es gab eine kleine Ralley mit Fotostopp in den Dünen. Unser Fahrer beherrschte das Fahrzeug perfekt. Dann ging es weiter zum Wüstencamp. Unterwegs machten wir einen Stopp bei einer Kamelfarm. Hier konnten wir Näheres über die Zucht erfahren und zum Beispiel den Kleinen beim säugen zuschauen. Als wir dann im Camp ankamen, gab es die Gelegenheit an verschieden Aktivitäten teilzunehmen. Ein kurzer Ritt auf dem Kamel, mit dem Sandboard die Düne runter oder man ließ sich ein Hannatatoo machen. Wer wollte, konnte auch einen Falken auf den Arm nehmen und ein Foto schießen lassen. Natürlich gabs auch arabischen Kaffee und die Möglichkeit Wasserpfeife zu rauchen. Alle hatten sich aufgeteilt und man musste nirgends lange anstehen. Mit Einbruch der Dunkelheit wurde das BBQ eröffnet. Alle Speisen waren lecker und es gab genügend Auswahl. Wasser war inklusive. Andere Getränke konnte man kaufen. Zwei Tanzeinlagen rundeten den gelungen Abend ab. Darunter war auch eine Bauchtänzerin. Die Tatsache, daß alle anderen Teilnehmer und auch unser Fahrer dann nach Dubai zurückfuhren und wir die beiden Einzigen waren die im Camp übernachteten, hat uns nicht beunruhigt. Wir haben uns trotzdem sicher gefühlt. Man hatte uns ein Zelt auf der Tanzfläche aufgebaut. Matratzen und Schlafsäcke waren sauber. Waren tagsüber noch 45 Grad, so hatten wir nachts im Zelt noch 28 Grad. Früh 5 Uhr sind wir auf die Düne gestiegen und haben im Sonnenaufgang herrliche Bilder gemacht. Im Anschluss kam unser Fahrer mit dem Frühstück. Dann ging es zurück ins Hotel. Die Fahrzeit war ca.1 Stunde 15 min. Im Camp konnte man einen USB Stick mit dem Film der während der gesamten Tour bzw. des Programms gemacht wurde, sowie zahlreichen Fotos bestellen. Er kostete 28,- Euro und war pünktlich am Folgetag an der Rezeption. Super Tour :
