We didn’t know what to expect but it sounded like fun! It was amazing! Our guide to the desert was great! The dune bashing was great fun and the driver -guide went out of his way to offer to take photos and ensured we had a great time! The star gazing and eating under the stars was something we will never forget! The whole experience was fabulous and I can highly recommend this trip!

If we could rate this 10* we would! The description on get your guide doesn’t nearly do this your justice. There are some things money can’t buy and this tour is one of those absolute gems in life that really money couldn’t buy. I will be honest, we aren’t overly museum people so for us, the tour started the moment we got back in the truck after this. The Desert drive was incredible, sand boarding was such a rush and the dinner by candle light whilst star gazing was a once in a life time experience! The food was absolutely incredible. The whole set up was so authentic. Everyone we met gave 10/10 service and the whole set up was seamless. Sahib was the star of the show, such a kind, helpful and interesting guide who really knows his stuff. A trip of a lifetime with the best service.

The driver was a very friendly and easy-to-speak person. I didn't expect much from the Archaeological Museum, but it was more interesting than I expected, and I was worried that the desert drive would get drunk, but I enjoyed it very much. Above all, I was very happy to see the setting sun slowly set in the desert, and it was a very good tour.
