Mohamed was an amazing guide and great driver over the sand dunes. I would 100% recommend booking this trip as was the highlight of our time in Abu Dhabi.
We had a really nice trip and loved the humor of the guys! I can recommend to all!
This desert safari was exceptional in every way—exhilarating, visually beautiful, and unforgettable. It was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Abu Dhabi. Our guide was outstanding. I don’t recall his full name, but his nickname was Babu—and if you can request him, do it. He had complete control of the jeep as he took us on the most exhilarating ride imaginable, flying over the dunes and expertly dune bashing. At times it literally felt like we were airborne. It was thrilling, yet I always felt completely safe because of his skill and confidence. Babu was not only a superb driver and guide, but also a talented photographer. He took marvelous photos of us with the camels and walking through the desert, and he did it gladly using our own phones and camera—at no charge. He knew exactly where to position us and captured moments we will treasure. There were also plenty of cold drinks in the jeep, which were very welcome in the desert environment. This experience gave me a true sense of what it feels like to move across the great desert—exciting, beautiful, and surprisingly peaceful. I highly recommend this safari to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi. And if you’re lucky enough to have Babu as your guide, you are in for something truly special.
Fantastic desert safari experience! The group was very friendly, took plenty of time for photos, and the dune bashing was next level. Highly, highly recommended! Mr Babu and Muhammed were too good..
Amazing adventure. Very nicely planned, and great team. Special thanks to Mr. Faizal Babu and Mr. Mohammad for coordinating the adventure.
A very complete tour.Our guide Mohamed kept an eye on us at all times and took amazing photos. It's an unforgettable experience. I would repeat.
Incredible experience! I went with four friends, and our guide Mohamed took great care of us and made it one of the most wonderful afternoons I’ve ever had. I would definitely do it again!!! THANK YOU, MOHAMED!
Great experience with a very professional team. Great deal. I recommend it 100%. You enter a unique culture where you are welcomed with open arms.
Excellent itinerary, very friendly staff, Maryl helped me in taking my pictures as soli traveller. Also the dune dashing was fun with long rides and beautiful sunset and very delicious falafel.
Mohammed is a fantastic tour guide, he speaks great English, and is such a fun off roading driver around the desert! He also takes amazing videos and photos and knows all the best angles. The bbq and shows were great. My husband is vegetarian and he had a lot of options, which was really nice. I was impressed they have henna, camel riding, sand dune surfing, dinner and a great interactive show all included in the price. We had a 12 hour layover in Abu Dhabi and we’re so happy we did this excursion. Time very well spent! Our favorite part was the off road driving! Experience we’ll never forget!
