Fantastic experience, well managed and organized, very nice and helpful staff. The dune safari is a lot of fun, as is the very nice sand surfing. In the package there was also a ride on the camel and the henna tattoo. Very pleasant evening ended with fire show, dancing and barbecue. Highly recommended, our teenage boys had a blast.

Absolutely amazing day out. We thought 8hrs would be to long but the day went so fast due to being actioned packed from start to finish. Buggy racing in the desert then the driver took us off roading in the 4x4, sand boarding, camel riding & then finished off with a bbq & a live belly dancing & fire breathing performance. Would highly recommend for a family day out.
