One of the best experiences in Abu Dhabi - This was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone to do while visiting in Abu Dhabi. Beautiful sunrise in the middle of the desert, fun with camels that my daughter loved and relaxing with aromatic arabic coffee. We did not try sandboarding although there was an option. Guide Farook was great. He showed us the best spots and thanks to him we have beautiful pictures after this trip.

Dreamlike memories that stay. - Abdul Rasheed, that was our guide today!! Simply fantastic the trip with him into the desert, absolutely recommended. Should everyone have done once in their life 😊, you really lack the words... Beautiful sunrise 🌄!! It has an aftereffect. We even had to squeeze a few tears after looking at the photos afterwards.
Abdul has a great talent for photos 👍🤩... All his care is great.
We wish him all the best for his life 😍!! A dreamlike morning that will remain unforgettable.

Exceptional experience with great guide! - Although this tour requires an early wake-up, it is absolutely worth it — the experience is truly exceptional!
Our guide, Abdul Rasheed, thoughtfully personalized the entire experience, taking into account the preferences of each member of our group. The perfect mix of carefully balanced adrenaline and peaceful moments made the morning unforgettable. Watching the peaceful sunrise in the middle of the desert was magical, followed by Arabic coffee infused with cardamom and fresh dates that our guide kindly prepared for us on the spot.
The visit to a camel farm, camel riding, and the opportunity to try sandboarding added just the right amount of excitement. Three hours flew by, enriched by our guide’s insightful, informative, and engaging answers to all our questions.
Warmly recommended — a memorable and beautifully curated desert experience!

The Ultimate Desert Experience in Abu Dhabi! - I joined the morning safari. Even though I booked just the day before, the process was so smooth that I felt completely at ease. Our guide, Abdul Rasheed, was a true professional who was always thinking about how to make our time enjoyable, and the experience far exceeded my expectations.
Everything from the desert drive and coffee while watching the sunrise to the camel farm visit, camel riding, and sandboarding was perfectly organized, and I enjoyed every moment from the bottom of my heart. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi!

Stunning Sunrise Safari - Our guide, Abdul Rasheed, was on time and picked us up in a nice modern vehicle.
The timings were perfect and we got to the desert in time to take lots of photos before watching the sun coming up.
He was knowledgable and helpful throughout the experience.
The Dune bashing wasn't too wild (which was one of the reasons we booked this experience over others) and it was enjoyable.
We had a quick stop at a Camel farm, before heading to the camp for a quick camel ride and a try of the sandboarding.
There were toilet breaks and time to take drinks.
We got back to our hotel 4 hours later and went straight to breakfast!
Great day and I'd recommend to anyone.
Thanks to Abdul.
