Great dessert experience! - Mohammed picked us up from our hotel and took us to the dessert, where we safely did some dune bashing. He explained us many things on the way and showed us a camel farm too. At the camp site you can find soft drinks. Alcohol too but at an extra cost. There was henna drawing, traditional clothing try-on, camel riding and sand boarding. Dinner was nice and shows were really good too. The only downside was that due to the gloomy sky we couldn’t see the stars. However I totally recommend this experience!

Drift in the desert - A highly recommended activity, Mohamed our guide and driver made us a drive through the dunes full of adrenaline but with care of our comfort, once there is an enclosure with drinks, you can ride in dromedary, take photos, gena tattoos, sandboar, shisha, (quads and buggies are surcharge) the food is good, a performance, a shame that there was calima and did not look good sun or stars.

Desert Safari Tour - The whole tour has been organized so perfectly! We enjoyed the whole experience to the fullest. Our host was extremely professional and punctual. The dune bashing was a thrilling experience, and the dinner and show were brilliant. Our highlight was the stargazing, it was simply beautiful. I can’t recommend this tour enough. It is so much fun and the best thing you could do with your friends or family visiting the UAE!
