I loved every booked event! Everything went smoothly! I was worried when I didn't get tickets to the desert safari but within a few hours the tour company chatted with me to confirm the booking and pick up. Qamar was awesome and a great host! Headout I believe are experts and know the best prices and places to see. We not only purchased this but got some great combos as well which other tour providers don't always offer

The Safari experience was great. It would have been nice to have been able to purchase all the "upgrades" from the getgo. Seems like everything that I had purchased was the bare minimum and needed to be upgraded to a better experience. Overall, the dune bashing, quad biking and dinner was an awesome experience. I would highly recommend.
