    This trip exceeded our expectations. Our driver, who was also our guide, helped in every way to give us a really enjoyable evening. The 4x4 drive through the dunes was exciting, the camel farm felt authentic and the food at the bbq was actually delicious. The entertainment was perfect too. I have to say we had been very sceptical beforehand- but the whole evening was excellent. Thank you !

    The Desert Safari was wonderful. We live in Abu Dhabi and were anxious to try some local activities. The trip did not disappoint. It was definitely all-inclusive and perfect for a traveler wanting to get a taste of the desert in one day-dune bashing, visit a camel farm, many photo stops, a camel ride, sandboarding, henna, falconry (hold a docile falcon), Bedouin style seating for a nice multi-cultural buffet (served by staff due to COVID) with tannura and belly dance entertainment. Our favorite part was the dune bashing-the kids loved it. Our guide Mujeeb was great and took lots of photos for us. About an hour from the Corniche in Abu Dhabi.

    Good value for money on this half-half day overall Very friendly and efficient driver The 4×4 in the dunes is very exciting Too bad the sandboarding is unusable and the camel ride almost non-existent. Apart from that, the evening was very successful in a pleasant setting with a varied and quality barbecue in terms of products, complemented by a little show that gives the service a local touch. Recommended for a first in the desert.
