Fantastic experience - We did a half day desert safari with dinner and show. All very fun, especially the incredible jumps and drifts on the dunes done with the 4x4! Good dinner and engaging show, a highly recommended experience for which I thank Elisabetta who was able to advise and guide us at all times.

Unforgettable Experience - It was an unforgettable experience, with many emotions and amazing nature. The driver was very friendly and insightful. The ride was emotional and the camping at the end of the trip is amazing cultural experience. Would not miss the opportunity if visiting Abu Dhabi.

A must if in the UAE! - We were off to a bumpy start when we realized we did not read the fine print which stated that pick ups are only from Abu Dhabi (even though our Al Ain hotel was accepted in the booking process), however, we were quickly able to get in touch with the local tour agency who were able to change our tour to a private one for an additional 700 AED. Not an ideal situation, but the representative from Extreme Arabia was very responsive and accommodating. Now, to the tour itself - it was an amazing experience! Whether you are into touristy stuff or not, if you are in UAE, you should absolutely do something like this! Our private guide (& driver) Mujeeb shared a lot of interesting facts about the history of the UAE - on top of that, he is an expert at dune bashing AND an a really talented photographer! The food at the desert camp was excellent as well, along with the entertainment (actually talented performers and no tackiness). All in all, we had a spectacular time and would do it all again!

An 11 hour layover adventure of a lifetime! - Our tour guide Mohammad was very prompt, accommodating of our time, an expert driver for the sand bashing, and attentive in getting us back to the airport ahead of our schedule. I stressed to him of the urgency to make it back to the airport so we would not miss our connecting flight. He timed our excursion so we took part in all of the noted adventures, dinner, and made it back to the airport with plenty of time to rest before leaving out. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone. The customer service representatives were very thorough and had great follow-up.

Desert experience - It was a great experience. We had fun at the desert and there were many fascinating activities. The driving in the desert was a highlight. But other tourists should beware of scammers at the desert. (Additional price for head scarf in the quad bike). We also had to wait quite long for the food.
