Imran was fantastic. He really knew the area well and was a great guide throughout. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. The show was enjoyable and the camel ride was nice, but the trip out into the desert was the real highlight. If you’re not into dune bashing, this is a perfect alternative. I’d definitely recommend this tour.

Everything went smoothly from the hotel pickup to the trip itself. We were kept informed about all the activities along the way. The activities weren’t too tiring, and we really enjoyed every part. The meal was excellent, well prepared and nicely served. After dinner, we watched the show and then got back to our hotel safely. It was a fantastic evening overall.

We had a really great experience. The transport was comfortable, and the trip through the desert and oasis was lovely. Our guide shared plenty of interesting info about the area. We saw lots of beautiful nature, and it didn’t feel too touristy at all. The food was generous and tasty. Me and my two teenage sons all thought it was a fantastic outing.
