Unforgettable Desert Adventure! - We had an amazing time with Sand Gazelle Desert Safari in Abu Dhabi. The whole experience was fantastic. The dune bashing was super fun, and our guide made sure we were safe and having a good time. The whole ride was full of laughter and joy. such a crazy fun ride. After the ride, we got to watch a stunning sunset, enjoy a tasty dinner, and see some great performances the belly dance was astonishing. It was a perfect evening with my family, and we made some great memories. I will definitely recommend Sand Gazelle to everyone If you’re looking for a fun and well-organized desert adventure.

June 2024 - Beautiful excursion in the middle of the desert. Marley (our guide) was great, we had a great time with him. Excellent photographer and pilot. Everything was perfectly organized and given the period the excursion was conveniently moved by a few hours to avoid the hottest hours. I highly recommend running in the dunes, an exciting and safe experience

Wonderful - Honestly, I can't recommend this company enough. The tour was excellently organised, Marly has been a great guide and excellent competent driver and really nice guy. The customer service has been great all the way through, very timely, clear transparent communication at all times. The tour is absolutely spectacular, with the dune bashing being the highlight. We really had a lot of time to gaze at the immensity of the desert and we almost felt we had it all for us for an afternoon. Great trip!

The best tour company we've used - We had the most amazing experience with SandGazelle tour company. My girl friends and I went to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in April to celebrate our joint birthdays. However, the second day after we arrived in Dubai, we caught the worst rain storm of 75 years. Even as very seasoned travelers who have traveled over 40 countries, the aftermath of the storm still left us helpless. Almost all the transportations were suspended. Even the hotel we stayed can't get us any car service to help us to get to Abu Dhabi. I contacted SandGazelle, they responded literally within seconds and sent a car from Abu Dhabi to Dubai to pick us up right away so we can catch the private desert safari tour. They had been in touch with us the whole ride to ensure we are o.k. We have never had a tour company that responsive. The driver Majeed is extremely professional and knows how to drive through flood! We then had the most beautiful 6 hrs desert safari experience with our wonderful tour guide Marly. He's super fun, knowledgeable , professional, caring, AND, he's an extremely talented photographer! What more we could have asked for a girls trip to have the most gorgeous pictures that captured our beautiful experiences. Spending time with Marly and experiencing the stunning desert has to offer was non-questionable the highlight of our trip. I have nothing but the best to say about Sand Gazelle tour.

Very well organized and great trip to the desert - We booked the private sunset dune bashing tour including BBQ and were very satisfied. Our driver Marly was at the meeting point on time and drove us into the desert. We then drove over the dunes in a convoy with several vehicles and had a few photo stops in between. Marly was very friendly and also turned out to be a great photographer. Thank you for the great memories. After that we went to the camp with BBQ and entertainment, which was very entertaining. We really enjoyed the day and thanks again to Marly for the great trip.

Dune Experience - The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing us with all the necessary safety instructions and making sure we were comfortable before setting off. Our guide, who was also our driver, was an expert at navigating the dunes and had a great sense of humor, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.
