It was an ok experience. It was not value for money. The amount i was charged, 578 Dirhams was not at all worth. Had expected it to be much better. Last time i booked the same desert safari for 99 aed per person. This time i booked for 289 aed per person expecting it to be much better, but it was the same one. We were duped.
