    Amazing Experience at this safari. Our tour guide was Munaj and he was super helpful. He took the most amazing photos and was great fun. The food at the bbq was delicious and the fire show and dancers were brilliant. It cost 225 AED per person - great value as it was 6 or 7 hours in total.

  • 5An incredible experience thanks to Munaj🤩

    It was so incredibly beautiful, exciting and thrilling, and a completely new experience. Our driver MUNAJ is an absolute professional, mastering his car and the dunes. He gave us a real adrenaline rush, made photo stops in great locations, told us a lot about nature (the desert) and finally provided another highlight – sandboarding – just great 👍 We can absolutely recommend this adventure with Munaj, who is also a great driver with a lot of humour, both personally and visually🤩 We would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU once again 🙏 Heidi, Steffi and Sylvia
