Amazing Holidays - We had a wonderful experience with the team of Desert Thrills, starting from their customer care executives who briefed in the various tours available, costs, options and tailor made itineary based on our requirements. We had Mr Munawar from Pakistan as our driver cum guide for the desert safari and Mr Jaiswal as Guide cum driver for the Abu Dhabi Trip. Mr Jaiswal was immensely knowledgeable and conducted our trip very nicely.

Kudos to Jabed - Can't say enough good things about this tour and our driver/tour guide, Jabed. He is a great steward of the UAE. This was truly an immersive cultural experience. Jabed took us to all the sites on the itinerary and gave in depth commentary about the sites as well as other sites we passed along the way. He was by far our favorite guide on our vacation. Even my kids said he was the best. Tour wise, the sites were perfect stops. We especially enjoyed the mosque. Wish we had more time there. The desert experience was nice, starting with the SUV drive through the desert to get to "camp." At camp there was no sand boarding so to speak - there were some boards at the top of a sand dune, but no instructions on how to use them and no one there seemed to know how. Also the steepest hill faced a wall, didn't seem safe trying to learn how to sand board there. Show at camp was nice. Food was okay too and varied enough for all the various dietary requirements of my family to be met. (Bring a jacket/shawl for the desert. It gets chilly at night) There was an upsell for a bunch of things, ATV ride in the desert, VIP seating at camp, ice cream at camp etc. etc. - I'm not sure if any of the upsells were worth the additional price, especially since the dinner upsell promised additional food that never came. But overall, 10/10. Thank you, Jabed.
