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

The best activity for a simple way to understand the greatness of the desert - 砂丘のドライブはかなり揺れるので、車酔いする人は事前にスタッフに申告した方が良いです。 私が参加したときは、他の参加者が少なかったために滞在場所で自由行動の時間がありすぎました。ただし、自由に飲める飲料もありますし、砂丘に登って景色を十分堪能することができました。 11月頭に参加したのですが、夜もそこまで寒くなかったです。気になる人は薄手のカーディガン一枚あれば十分問題ないと思います。 食事もそこまで期待していなかったのですが、炭火焼きしたチキンやビーフもあり、意外に美味しかったです。 The dune drive is quite bumpy, so it's advisable to declare in advance if you get carsick. At that time I participate this tour, there were not many participants. So there was too much free time at that place. But I could drink some beverages freely and climb the dunes to enjoy viewing. I took part in the tour at the beginning of Nov, I didn't feel cold. If you worried about the temperature, I think it's enough to take a cardigan. Honestly, I didn't expect that the meal is good, but they serve chickens and beefs which charcoal and grilled. It's so nice.

Desert time - The experience was nice with a good driver Mahmoud. We should have paid a little less as the belly dancer did not perform due to Ramadan season.

Desert trip - 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.

don't expect to learn anything; make sure you have a car - Overall this company delivered, but not everything was as promised. One day before our reservation we were told that they could not pick us up in Al Ain even though pick-up is included in the ticket price. Luckily we had a car, but we had to use our gas to drive one hour in each direction, and we didn't receive any discount for this inconvenience and expense. In addition, we did not visit a camel farm as promised, nor was there unlimited shisha - you had to pay extra if you wanted more than just a try. Most disappointing was that none of the staff spoke much English, so there was no cultural explanation or educative component to the evening. It was pure entertainment without any accompanying description of what we were experiencing. The staff could barely respond to the simplest of questions; they were obviously not from the Gulf region. We don't regret doing it, but it was overpriced and we felt taken advantage of as tourists.

Great driver Ahmed - very friendly - 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 - 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. - 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.
