Great Evening with Family in the Desert - I have been to other derset safaris but this was by far the best dune bashing experience with Nasser. Would highly recommend this tour by Orient Tours and Nasser for dune bashing! The facilities at camp and dinner were great. Free flowing soft drinks from arrival. Shisha was amazing albeit they could accommodate only 4 groups at a time - which could be improved. Few extra add-ons can be purchased to elevate your experiece: Dune Buggy Rental - AED 150 Souvenirs - Starting from AED 40 (room for bargaining) Head Scarf - Starting from AED 10 Photo Album (Soft copy) - AED 105
