Our trip to the Dubai desert was one of the best experiences. The whole day was perfectly organized and packed with activities. It all started with being picked up by our driver Kamal who was incredibly professional, friendly and took the utmost care of us. On arrival at the venue we enjoyed henna painting and admired the jewellery making. Refreshments were available, including coffee, juices, which put us in a good mood for the rest of the day. The adrenaline ride on the dunes was absolutely amazing - exciting and fun, and we all enjoyed the sand surfing to the max. After the adventurous part, we arrived at the campsite where we were treated to a cultural performance, delicious coffee and refreshing drinks. The highlight of the evening was the delicious cuisine prepared by a top chef - the food was perfect. The whole trip lasted seven hours and exceeded our expectations. We recommend it to everyone who wants to experience a unique adventure full of adrenaline, culture and great food!

The pick-up service and the trip to the Miracle Garden were great. Everything went really well and we had a lovely 1.5 hours in the park. Since it was Ramadan, we didn't eat or drink anything there, otherwise the 1.5 hours wouldn't have been enough. The pick-up and drop-off service was worth the price for us, as we were coming from the port and it was a long drive. We would be happy to do it again.
