Family fun in the desert!

We had a fantastic trip to the desert with our guide Arab Gul. The communication and pick up was all very smooth and Arab was a fantastic guide, very informative and took some great pictures in the sand dunes and also at sunset. Our favourite part was the dune bashing - very exhilarating! The food was really nice at the buffet too. We’d highly recommend the trip.
