A trip into the desert - We were very lucky to have Muqtadir (Shah) as our guide. He was excellent and made a very good trip even better for us. Knowledgeable and friendly he added to the experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Outstanding trip with Mudquadir - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🐪My son and myself felt very safe and under competent guidance of Muqtadir shah during our desert safari guide from desert gate tourism. The car safari on the dunes was an amazing fun experience, my son speaks about even months later. We also loved the falcon show 🦅 and the yummy BBQ. 🍖 😋 If you have the chance to book the trip with Muqtadir you will have an outstanding experience.

terrible Organization 👎🏼 - So bad organization… rude travel desk staff, safari drivers who is taking my phone just to write good reviews about themselves. Now I understood from where they got 5* reviews 😂😂 and we took tickets to Atlantis with driver and waited 1.5 hours and in the end we went by taxi and desert gate didn’t return our money for transportation which we paid… Very bad 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 first time in the uae and what you want me to think about this country 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
