We got picked up by Shafeeq, a very nice and spontaneous young man. He is a great guide and driver. The dune bashing was amazing. He also made some great pictures for us. The desert surfing was so much fun, he made it easy and not scary at all! At the camel farm I got lucky and got cuddled by one. At the camp the food was great! I loved getting a henna tattoo. The entertainment was fun too. They also have a falcon and you can take a little camelride, all are included in the tour, except for the ATV. After a nice afternoon spend in the desert, Shafeeq drove us back to the hotel. Meanwhile we got the play his Bollywood playlist in the car. All and all a great tour and a great tourguide! If you have time, do this in Abu Dhabi. You will not be disappointed.

Full description

Stop by a camel farm to feed the camels and snap some incredible photos, then enjoy a short camel ride across the sands. After 4 hours of excitement, return to your hotel—or keep the adventure going!
