We had a fantastic and thrilling experience with Biju. He picked us up right on time and drove us up and down the dunes like a truly hero (we were all shouting and scared) :) The car was super comfy and it included water bottles for us to hydrate after all the adventure. I would absolutely recommend the desert experience.

We booked the desert safari for Abu Dhabi. The meeting point was the cruise terminal. We received a message the day before about the exact time and procedure. Everything worked perfectly. Our guide "Sami" took good care of us. He was very friendly, talkative and helpful - and an absolutely good driver in the sand dunes. It was great fun. Sandborading, crazy desert pictures, Tromedar Farm. An unforgettable experience this day. Thank you Sami for this great day

A great experience. Information was sent well in advance and the driver (Biju) picked me up at 7 in the morning. We were 6 people in the car. The tour included camel viewing, sand bashing (Awesome!), sand boarding, camel ride, traditional Arabic coffee with dates. Biju was so patient and friendly, even offering to take many pictures. Best part was getting stuck in the sand and we had to be towed out by another car!
