Faizy was the best. He tooks great pictures with grace and patience even when I wasn't asking. Very knowledgeable and that made that moment special. I don't regret the early time departure as it was peaceful and very beautiful. Thank you again Faizy!

Pick-up and Drop-off was punctual and convenient. Our guide Faizy was very welcoming and friendly and made sure everybody got good pictures and found us a superb spot to watch the sunrise in the desert. We had coffee & dates on a traditional carpet and the dune bashing was also a lot of fun. The vehicle felt safe and was modern with good AC inside. Camel ride was short but fun, got a cold bottle of water each and sandboarding was also okay, though I will say it was better when I did it in Qatar. The boards were beat up with makeshift footholders and there was no rope or ladder like in Qatar to facilitate the process of hiking up the dune. Maybe that’s something to offer after the sunrise while still in the desert? Overall a great experience, worth the pricetag with a lot loaded into 3 - 3 1/2 hours.
