The experience was stress free. Collection and drop off from/to your hotel is fantastic. The Dune Buggy was incredibly fun, even for the alloted time. You can travel quite a far distance even with the 20min allocated time. I also felt very safe driving it. The tour guide was very accommodating and helpful thoughout the whole experience. The BBQ and entertainment was excellent. Definitely worth the money Was a 10/10 experience and one I would do again.

Everything was great, the only issue I had is that the driver was 1 hour late to pick us up and without any update about this lateness

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.

Some features could have improved with the amount of money that was collected. General price range for safari is 200-300 AED. We paid 500+ AED, so was expecting better service.
