Great experience, Excellent team, would do again! 100% - This was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. We learned about Sand Gazelle through a friend, and my experience was nothing short of personal and exhilarating. Coming from Vancouver, Canada, the desert's beauty, with the sun casting long shadows across the sand, was breathtaking. My two little girls had the most fun during the morning safari and with the camels. The thrill of the ride was perfectly complemented by the stunning views. The way the vehicle seemed to defy gravity at times was both terrifying, exciting and thrilling. What stood out to me was the sense of freedom and adventure—being in the middle of the desert, surrounded by family, love, sand, and sky, was unforgettable. The team always went out of their way to make us feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Dune bashing with Sand Gazelle in Abu Dhabi is an absolute must-do for anyone seeking adventure!

Amazing - This was our second time with Sand Gazelle. Again me and my family had an amazing experience. Right from the hotel pick up to the desert safari , entire experience is top notch and you can completely customize your experience. Special mention to the Driver/photographer Faizal sho went above and beyond to do a mini photoshoot with my family. My wife was beyond elated with the quality of the photos. We did take the customized family package and would definitely recommend that for the best experience and given the attention to detail and competitive pricing this is highly highly recommended. Sand Gazelle is simply the best👍🏻👍🏻

You have to do it! - We had a wonderful trip to the desert with Marly. We were picked up on time and driven safely into the desert. We were traveling as a family and we especially enjoyed the dune bashing. A very special experience. Marly is a very good and experienced driver. In the evening in the camp we ate very well and the shows were entertaining and beautiful. Overall a perfect experience. Many thanks especially to Marly for the great day!

Adrenaline fuelled fun! - We had an amazing, adrenaline fuelled afternoon/evening! We hit the sand dunes with an experienced driver and felt very safe while at the same time experiencing something unique. I also fell in love with the beautiful camels of the desert. They were a lot friendlier and more curious than I expected. The evening ended with a bbq in a camp under the stars. The entertainment was unforgettable and I tried shisha and got a henna tattoo. Not only did we have an amazing experience, we also had extremely professional photos taken by the organisers during the whole trip. This is one of the best organised trips I’ve ever been on!
