Check your guides credentials

Be aware of who picks you up. We had a guide who picked us up in a vehicle with faulty seat belts. When the guide was told about the issue he informed us the next vehicle that would be taking us in the dunes would be ok. He proceeded to continue driving above the speed limit onto the freeway where he checked his phone constantly and we had two near missus with other vehicles. My wife and daughter felt ill with anxiety which led them to missing out on the meal when arriving at the venue due to feeling sick. The driver kept trying to get extra money out of us saying we hadn’t paid for the trip and also extra money for the quad bikes which he hiked up the price on .

Terrible.

Bad organization, worst hike ever. Considering the arrival and departure picks it lasted almost 11 hours without doing anything at all. We could not take any pictures as we arrived on the desert only when it was night by taking a 5-minute jeep ride after various insistences. Sand boarding not possible as the 3 boards available are simple pieces of wood that do not work. You ride on the camel basically you have to do so many lines x get on it and just take a picture. Indecent buffet and to eat do an hour in a row. Incompetent driver, he took the wrong road several times and we were stuck in the sand having to wait for someone to come and help us (he had a 4x4 vehicle and in the place where we were blocked there were also 50 seats buses... Absurd) Bad hike not to buy x total disorganization, and 'a waste of time
