We had a fantastic time on this tour! Our driver picked us up on time from our hotel and once we’d picked up another group, it was an easy trip out to the desert. The dune bashing was very fun (although a little scary!), and our guide helped us to take some amazing photos of the sunset. The camp and dinner were amazing, and the shows were very entertaining. Overall it was a great experience and we would definitely recommend!

We had a very good experience with Nasir. The pick up was quick and well organized, the car very comfortable, the program went in accordance with the planned itinerary with no unpleasant surprises. We had an existing and safe experience in the desert. Our group’s thanks are going to Nasir- excellent, very intelligent guide. Recommended!
