Special thanks to our tour guide who is very professional and attentive, we have never met such a tour guide before. - It was one of the best experiences of my life. The program was especially perfect because we had a very good and attentive tour guide, Masal Khan. I can only recommend this peogram.

Our guide was punctual,... - Our guide was punctual, and very friendly. He made sure we all had a good time while dune blasting. He also took the time to take wonderful pictures with all of our respective phones while sand boarding, riding the camel, and holding the falcon.

Morning dunes - I've done both this morning trip and an evening trip through another provider. I enjoyed the morning trip so much more and recommend to everyone. The time frame is better and it's less crowded at the camp so you get to enjoy aspects like camel ride and falcon without long lines. This trip was great and I'll do it again

Fun Desert Adventure - We had a great time! Our guide, Shine, was an experienced driver and dune bashing was a lot of fun. He was also very helpful when we wanted to take pictures on top of the dunes. We would recommend this to others!

Good tour into the desert 👍🏽 - We booked the private tour. We were picked up by Masal Khan. He is super, calm and relaxed. We didn't want to ride camels and he then offered us that we could go for a walk in the dunes.
We were picked up on time at the hotel and drove straight into the desert. The air was briefly let out of the tires and started directly with the desert bashing. That was a lot of fun.
Afterwards we had a short stop to take pictures and sandboard.
Afterwards we went to the “village” where various activities were offered - too touristy for us.

Enjoyed the experience incl. thoughtful tour guide - Experience was really good, communication and ride to desert was smooth. It was evident that the tour guide, Ghani Ur Rehman, wanted us to have a good time (including rafting in the dunes). Small crowd. Would recommend!
