We had an amazing time enjoying dune bashing, sandboarding, and camel riding. Our driver, Ubaid, was fantastic. He guided us to Bedouin camps where we got to see and interact with many different camels.

Shah picked us up from our hotel exactly on time. We arranged the tour through our hotel representative on the day we arrived. We didn’t want to leave Abu Dhabi without experiencing the desert and a camel ride. Shah was an outstanding host, expertly driving the 4x4 over the sand dunes, making it a lot of fun while ensuring our four-hour tour was enjoyable and full of great photo opportunities. Definitely a must-do when visiting the UAE.

Our morning began very early, and the entire experience was fantastic! Our driver, Saleem, was exceptional—friendly, humorous, and great company. Watching the sunrise from the top of a sand dune was even more beautiful than I had imagined. The dune bashing was thrilling, and the camel herder was very approachable and an excellent photographer, capturing some amazing shots. Saleem also prepared the boards for us to ride down the dunes and patiently answered all my questions on the way back to the city. I would highly recommend Desert Rose!

Our desert safari was absolutely fantastic! The air-conditioned Land Cruiser was very comfortable, navigated the dunes smoothly, and provided excellent views. We took the morning tour and didn’t encounter any other vehicles in the desert, which felt very special. However, the highlight of the trip was our guide Zahoor. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and an outstanding driver. I can’t recommend him or this experience enough!
