I’m very happy with our experience, very friendly and explained everything to us the driver did the safari very well excellent even. I recommend this to anyone who is visiting and our tour guide was Shahzeb he was very nice and helpful to us! Very friendly and made the experience unforgettable.
My sister and I visited the Al Rayan Camp for a night. We’re very grateful to our host MOHAMMED HUSSAIN for his warm welcome and genuine hospitality. A special mention to Hussain for his excellent driving skills. He made the dune bashing both exciting and safe, giving us a terrific time and a memorable experience. The camp is set in a beautiful desert location, and the atmosphere is peaceful and memorable, especially at night. The staff were kind and did their best to make us comfortable, which we truly appreciated. Facilities are basic and could benefit from better maintenance. There is heated water in the VIP rooms and wifi on the premises. The buffet dinner and breakfast were decent and satisfying, though the selection was fairly limited. The food was prepared with care, but a wider variety would have enhanced the overall dining experience. Lovely setting for a bonfire with the option to add on a shisha to the experience as well. Overall, it was a meaningful experience thanks to the setting and the people, but there is room for improvement in the quality and consistency of the amenities.
Very friendly guide very good tour and professional sand bashing with Youssef Mohamad also the dessert at night was so nice
We had the half day tour (not overnight) with our guide Sajid who was very informative, friendly and attentive. We did all the activities listed including dune bashing, camel riding, sand boarding and the dinner. Make sure you bring cash if you want to do extra activities. Great experience and recommend to everyone! During this time it wasn’t full of tourists which made the experience better.
The sand dune ride would’ve been amazing if I were a bit braver. I’m scared of heights, so it was honestly pretty terrifying for me, but it would definitely be thrilling for those who love adventures. The view of the sea from the villa makes up for it — it’s so peaceful and calming, especially when you just sit and take it all in.
Shahzeb has 12 years of experience driving for dune bashing. It was thrilling yet safe. Communication was easy, he speaks fluent english. He helps with loading and unloading of bags to and fro. Overall good transportation.
Great location and driver was superb - Ismail is a champ! Unfortunately at the hotel we were not provided any overview of the schedule, where to find sand boards, etc. This could have been better organized.
It was amazing and fun for the whole family. Ismail was great. The quad biking was really fun. We all enjoyed it a lot it was a great experience.
Where do I start with this wholesome experience we had. our guide was Mr Sajid Hassan. we are extremely delighted and contended. Highly recomme
A friend and I had a great overnight camp. Emran was accommodating to help us book. We enjoyed the location and accommodation. The meals were good, and there were plenty of activities - I’d come again and bring the kids. Khalid picked us up and drove us to the camp, dune bashing and getting us to a great spot for pictures and watching the buggies’ stunts. He was an excellent driver and took care to help us get to the scenic overlook before sunset, despite us running a little late. Would recommend.
