Amazing trip - What amazing trip. Our guide Babu looked after us so well and made it so enjoyable. He took amazing pictures of us in the desert, helped us with the sand boarding and the drive around the desert, well that was something else. The show and food were good, not too many people there so not overcrowded.

It worth it!!! - One of the best experiences of my life. The dunes, the camels, the show, the dinner… it was the night of the full moon. I hope to repeat it again in the future.

Memorable, fun, beautiful experience - Excellent team-building experience. We joined a 16-person afternoon desert safari that was extremely well organised and offered great value for money. The program flowed beautifully from dune bashing to sunset views, evening entertainment and stargazing. Professional guides, good food and engaging activities made it fun and joyful. While we went for team building, it’s equally well suited for families and friends. A truly memorable experience for both Abu Dhabi residents and tourists. Highly recommended.

Beautiful desert and friendly guide, but too touristy, lacking authentic touches. - The overall experience was enjoyable, especially the beautiful desert setting. Our guide was very friendly and he gave us a great 4x4 trip through the desert, but we missed a bit more conversation or background information during the drive from Abu Dhabi to the desert — it would have made the journey more engaging. The camel ride felt a little misleading, as we expected a longer trip through the dunes but instead only had a brief five-minute walk while seated on the camels. It would also have been nice to learn more about the desert, the country, and its wildlife to make the experience more meaningful. The belly dance performance was lovely, but the fire show felt less authentic. The techno music didn’t quite match the atmosphere, and I would have preferred a more traditional experience to capture the true spirit of the desert. Also an introduction or some welcoming words with explanations on the performance would have added more professionality to the whole experience. The Shisha experience was nice, too! As the option to get a Henna painting - especially for girls :-) The barbecue was very good, and the complimentary black tea was especially welcome on a cool evening.
