Our tour guide was Ahmed. Sweet, funny, and very helpful guide who’s driving skills through the dunes were excellent. If you remember to, ask him where in Tokyo he is from and perhaps he will get the joke. We stayed overnight for the open camping and it’s worth it to see the sunrise over those sand dunes. The bathrooms DO have water (not mentioned above in guide information) and they provide a metal frame cot bed with small mattress to sleep with blankets. We went in early March so the weather was not too extreme either way. Picky eaters should bring some snacks just in case. Great experience and there is a lot of entertainment before bed time.

The trip was good overall, located at Al Khatem. We went during the Christmas time, started at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Friday and had a great combo of Dune bashing, quad biking, camel ride and arabic traditional dance as well as video shows. Overnight stay at the camp was simply great as the tent and beds were arranged for us (we only had to bring warm clothing and blankets). Will plan for a trip once again during this season (possibly new year!). I recommend the use of advance photography to share photos of night sky to tourists for a charge, which was beautiful too during the late night stay (Al Quaa is where people normally go)

Did an overnight tour and it really was the most memorable thing from Abu dhabi. I guess it's not so popular so there were only 4 people in total ( might be a bit scary if you are alone) , but our guide Rashid offered us shisha and we sat around the campfire at our own camp. Felt like the afternoon tour was too short to enjoy the desert. Breakfast was simple yet lovely. We went in January , despite they offered us thick blankets and beds in tents (yes proper beds) it was still a bit too cold, so you really should bring warm clothes. Highly recommend it!!
