Amazing adventure, my tour guide Saheed was the best. I’d recommend you ask of him and he takes the best pictures too.
Amazing desert safari experience! Shaban was an outstanding guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt safe and had fun the whole time. The dune bashing was thrilling and the views were stunning. He really went the extra mile to make it special. Highly recommend, especially with Shaban!
Oscar was 10 out of 10 the best guide for this trip. From pick-up to drop off he was wonderful. If I could suggest any guide for this trip, it would be him. He is a great driver and was very helpful helping us navigate our way around the desert. He is also a photographer so took the best photos of my family.
Great trip, food could be way better.
