This was a great experience to see the desert and have some fun while at it. It was my first time riding an ATV, but after driving it for the first few minutes I got the hang of it and it was fun and thrilling driving over the sand dunes! Seeing the sunset in the desert was amazing! The dinner and entertainment were also great! My driver/guide Erickson was phenomenal from start to finish!

Exceptional Shamju !!!! Unforgettable day, perfectly organized tour. First we did the tour with the quads, recommended only for those who are a little practical, because it seems easy to carry it, but on the sand it is not at all !!! then another destination to reach the camp where we took a ride on camels and admired the sunset! After sunset typical dinner accompanied by belly dance and fire dancer !!! all very nice and very good. Little advice, comfortable clothes and heavy jacket because it's cold in the desert after sunset! Absolutely to do! Beautiful day

10/01/2020 last day in Dubai, a young boy who speaks only English is waiting for us when we get off the ship. We are 4 Italians plus 2 Australians, heading towards the desert, the day is cold and breezy, we take the quods for a nice panoramic tour plus a little table along the dunes. We enjoyed a casino, a little off-road vehicle and we reach a small village where camels are waiting for us, it's a good lunch. We witness a typical Egyptian dance is a belly dance. Recommended
