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!

Operator response

We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again on your next visit to 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!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing this. Really glad to hear you felt safe and still enjoyed the dunes it means a lot when someone trusts us with an experience they were initially nervous about. I’ll pass your words on to the driver, he’ll be genuinely happy to know he made it memorable for you. Hope we get to host you again someday.
