Best Sunrise Experience in Abu Dhabi - We had an unforgettable sunrise desert safari with Abdul Rasheed as our guide. He was super friendly, full of fun facts, and so helpful with taking amazing photos for us. The drive across the sand dunes was thrilling—like a rollercoaster! Watching the sunrise over the desert was absolutely breathtaking, a moment we’ll never forget. Along the way we stopped at a camel farm and later had the chance to ride camels and try sandboarding, which was so much fun. At the base camp, we were welcomed with coffee, dates, and much-needed water before heading back to Abu Dhabi. A truly magical experience from start to finish—highly recommend!

Stunning nature and great Service - We went to the desert for sunrise. Pick up and communication with our driver Abdul Rasheed were problem-free. He explained a lot during the trip and could report on everything. Driving through the dunes was had a lot of action and we loved it. Afterwards we went to a camel farm. The tour had the camp as a last stop, here you could ride camels or ride a board down the dunes. Even quad biking would have been possible at an extra cost, everything else was included. Abdul Rasheed has taken great photos of all of us, and provided with drinks and delicious saddles and at all times took good care of our well-being. The tour in the morning was very quiet but breathtaking. We would do them again and again!

Great experience - Great experience and definitely worth getting up early. Our Marshal Abdul Rasheed was super friendly and explained a lot to us. Both driving through the dunes by car and riding camels were a lot of fun. Thank you, especially Abdul Rasheed, for the great experience!

Perfect morning! - I loved everything about this trip. My guide, Hakeem, picked me up on time, drove to the desert safely and made sure I was good. It was a bit of a foggy morning, but we did wait for the sun to show up, the camel ride was fun and sand boarding interesting. Driving around the dunes was better than rollercoasters! Perfect for people with tight schedule - I was back at my hotel around 9 am with the full day in front of me!

Quick and fun drive in the desert - The drive in the desert was thrilling and felt like drifting on sand. Abdul Rasheed is a very skilled driver and we felt safe with him driving. Overall, I would recommend this for someone who would like a quick visit to the desert while the weather is still cool out.

Adrenaline, Camels, and Sandboarding Fun! - Pick-up and communication with our driver Farook went smoothly. The dune bashing was a thrilling adrenaline experience. Our next stop was the camp, where we rode a camel and tried sandboarding down the dunes. Farook also took amazing photos of us.
