⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Outstanding trip with Mudquadir - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🐪My son and myself felt very safe and under competent guidance of Muqtadir shah during our desert safari guide from desert gate tourism. The car safari on the dunes was an amazing fun experience, my son speaks about even months later. We also loved the falcon show 🦅 and the yummy BBQ. 🍖 😋 If you have the chance to book the trip with Muqtadir you will have an outstanding experience.

It was an average experience. - So, this is my second Desert Safari visit. I wasn't too enamored by it, this time round. Even the people we were sharing the jeep said so as well. I'm comparing it too 20 years ago with Arabian Adventures. This time - we didnot spend alot of time dune bashing, spent alot of time driving on straight roads , at the falcon show the falcon took off and didnt come back, the buffet dinner was ok, the food didnt last alot, they had to close one section very quickly. The first Arabic dance was a joke, wasn't really a dance , couple of guys with sticks walking up and down. The sandboarding didnot work , which was just a ski on sand . It didnt even move and there was no one to assist or guide. The camel ride was fun and enjoyed that. I think with alot of tourists now, it's more hype than anything else and cutting corners- but if you don't need to compare it to anything, I suppose its still fine and good photo opportunities.

Very disappointed - The service provider does not know how to show up for the appointment under the pretext that they have not seen our reservation, who is to blame? Tripadvisor or the organizer? a refund request has been made
