Perfect for solo travelers! 🐪 - Haneef was my guide, driver, photographer, and sandboard instructor. He picked me up promptly at 8am and drove me out to the Al Khatim desert for our adventure. My favorite part was the camel ride (short and sweet!) and a surprise photo opp with a falcon. I’m certain I got my Abu Dhabi souvenir! As a solo traveler, I felt safe. And of course, I had fun! Great value—what more could you want!

Great Desert Safari in Abu Dhabi - We had a fantastic trip with Haneef, riding across the dunes and on camels. Sandboarding down the dunes was an absolute blast and something I’d highly recommend.

Fun! - We had an amazing time! Fun, accommodating and patient. I was afraid of the sand dunes , however our driver still gave us the experience without going to fast. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Worth doing if you want! - We did the Abu Dhabi morning desert safari with Visitors Destination Tours & Safari, and it was actually a nice way to spend a few hours. Nothing over the top, just a smooth and simple experience. Our driver picked us up on time, which I appreciated, and he was friendly without being too talkative.
The dune bashing was fun but not crazy intense, more like a good warm-up for the day. The camel ride was short but honestly that’s enough for me — long rides can get uncomfortable anyway.
