A high-quality experience - An unforgetable first visit to a desert. I got to experience it intimately and feel its vast quietness. The Empty Quarter is not that empty; full of changing landscapes, gazelles stirring up sand clouds, tranquil oases, camel farms… Mohammed is a thoughtful guide and he is incredibly generous with his knowledge, time, and skills. Thank you for a truly amazing adventure!

Do it! A long way to an impressive landscape! - The best desert tour I‘ve ever been on. The journey takes a good two hours, but what follows makes up for everthing! With a few stops along the way, we then headed into the Rub Al Khali Desert. Deeply impressed by the high dunes and extremely fine sand, we drove up and down through the desert. He will also drive over smaller dunes and at a slower pace, if requested. Afterwards, we went to one of the Liwa Oases, where we had a barbecue in the shade of the palm trees as dusk began to fall. An impressiv landscape with camels, antelopes and birds. Even though four hours is a long way, it is worth it, and our Guide Mohammed was very friendly and told us a lot about the Landscape.

Speechless - The tour is amazing! In one word perfect. I was looking for a non commercial and classical tour. And this is it! Is 2 hours and half driving from Abu Dhabi but in this way you experience the real desert! And above all we were me my husband and just an American girl in a solo travel. Mohammed, was a great driver and guide! Also he took us beautiful pictures and videos! And the food he has prepared for us was delicious! Best babaganush ever eaten! I super recommend this tour! The American girl was the fifth time doing this tour, because she loved it.

Epic and not to be missed - Visiting the Liwa Oasis and the surrounding desert is a must if you are in Abu Dhabi. The drive through the dunes was incredible. Mohammed is an extremely skilled driver and knows exactly what he is doing. He has lots of knowledge about the desert and can tell you the most interesting stories. The food was amazing and the level of service top notch. If the Empty Quarter calls your name, go have a look for yourself!

Guaranteed wonder - Many thanks to Mohammed for an incredible day. It was an extraordinary experience. Fasten your seat belts and trust an excellent driver... After emotions, make way for delicacy with a good picnic prepared by our host and finally to cap off this sublime day a sunset served with a delicious tea to amaze all our senses. And as a bonus we had the chance to see a gazelle by night on the way home. Thank you again Mohammed for this day that will remain unforgettable... too bad that our English did not allow us to converse any longer... Carla and Sylvain

A must do in Abu Dhabi - I have been to various deserts several times, but Al-Rub' al-Khali is exeptional. The dunes are magnificent. Our guide was a real master desert driver, and apart from it, or above all, a very sympathetic man. Feeding the camels at the camel farm is a nice experience for kids and teens, and the lunch at the oasis is not only tasty but relaxing. The sunset and the night climb on the top of a dune was unforgetable. Definately a must do in Abu Dhabi!
