Memorabele and relaxing - We had an amazing desert sunrise trip with our guide Abdul Rasheed. He is incredibly friendly, welcoming and very service minded, always making sure everyone had a great experience with thoughtful personal touches throughout the morning. His dune bashing skills were excellent — exciting but still felt safe and comfortable — and he also turned out to be a great photographer who helped capture some beautiful moments in the desert. The group was small, which made the whole experience feel relaxed, personal and enjoyable, with really good vibes from start to finish. Highly recommend booking a tour with Abdul Rasheed if you’re looking for a memorable desert experience!

Amazing Sunset safari - We had an incredible morning sunrise desert safari in Abu Dhabi with Emirates Tour and Safari. It was a beautiful morning and our tour guide was amazing! Abdul rasheed was professional, very knowledgeable, great photographer and made the whole experience feel so special. He is one of the best drivers we have ever had, and as per our request - we didn’t want dune bashing so he drove carefully and made us feel completely at ease. The whole experience was perfectly organised from pickup to drop off. The sunrise was beautiful and Abdul made Arabian coffee which we drank whilst the sun came up. We had an amazing camel ride!! Sandboarding was also available if wanting to do. Many thanks to Abdul Rasheed and the team for such a smooth and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a desert trip in Abu Dhabi.

Sunrise, Sand Dunes, and Family Memories - We had an amazing early sunrise desert safari as a family, and Abdul Rasheed truly made the experience exceptional. He was friendly, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start, especially the kids. His driving was both exciting and safe, and he took us to the perfect spot to enjoy a breathtaking sunrise. Abdul was also very attentive, helping us capture great photos and sharing interesting insights along the way. Thanks to him, the whole tour felt relaxed, fun, and unforgettable - highly recommended Ray

Absolutely stunning - It was an amaising experience. Desert at sunrise is absolutely stunning. Our guide, Abdul Rasheed was very attentive, knowledgeable and took really good care of us. He also took some great photos. If you are visiting Abu Dhabi for a week or just have a short stopover and only get to do one thing this tour is well worth getting the whole family out of bed early in the morning. Everyone would love it!
