JOHN – United States

Fun and fantastic tour of the dunes. The camel ride was great fun and so was the 4WD tour of desert. Highly recommended!

Rebecca – United Kingdom

I couldn’t rate this trip higher, the main reason for this was our guide Unni. He really gauged how extreme we wanted the dune ride as we had children with us. He was so friendly and he laid back demeanour meant we never felt rushed during all the stages of the trip. I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience something a little different while in Abu Dhabi. Thank you Unni so much.
