My wife and I got lucky with our driver Ashgar Ali. Not only was he on time, but made the Journey unforgettable. It was our first time doing desert safari, the trip was as expected and more. Ali was checking on us all the time, even when we got to the camp. He was always making sure we have what we wanted from organizing our ATV adventure, zigzagging in the red dunes, sand boarding, camel riding to setting our table, helping with the shisha, deserts and more. The trip was well organized. This was the best part of Dubai. Thanks Mr. Ali for this amazing experience.Hanay1234

Our guide was great, super interactive and took time to make sure everyone in the group he was “in charge of” was taken care of- between pictures, food, drinks, activists etc. Thanks, Imran Kahn!
