It felt a little bit touristy - but that’s ok because when else do you sandboard, 4x4 ride the sand dunes, ride a camel, eat traditional food, get a henna tattoo and see some great traditional dancing all in the middle of the dessert !!!.. would definitely recommendA4081NUjessicak

It was hands-down, one of the best experiences of my life. The organization and itinerary of the whole tour is very well created. I loved how after being picked up from our guide Anish, I didn’t have to think about anything else. Everything was planned out perfectly, and filled with different activities. Dune bashing, camel farm, sand boarding, etc. Throughout the experience our guide took insta-worthy pictures for each one of us in the group and I was actually amazed by how nice the pictures turned out. Anish was fluent in english, engaging and you could see his dedication in creating a good experience for us. The dinner and show were great. The food was actually delicious. Overall, 100/10 experience I highly recommend!elonb267

There are a bunch of activities and I was worried I'd get bored but there is always something happening to keep you entertained. Bunch of companies offer this experience but our driver Aneesh has definitely made the experience an unforgettable one for us, the service that was offered was superb.katiehZ3982SC
