We had an amazing experient with Ranjith. He communicated ahead of time on the schedule. Took us to the buggy rides and make the whole process easy. The dune bashing was the best, amazing ride - he took photos and we also did some sand sleding down a dune. He was also very accommodative on our needs and knew when to slow down. Our kids loved it and thank you for the great experience

We had an amazing desert safari experience thanks to our guide Mr.Syed Ahmed. He was incredibly friendly, made us feel comfortable right away, and shared a lot of interesting insights about the desert. The ride was thrilling but safe, and his knowledge really added to the whole adventure. Highly recommended!

I recently booked a private dessert safari tour with Ahmed. He was amazing at his job. He was very humble and polite. Dune bashing was thrilling as well. He also recommended us to the VIP camp which i think was the best as it included buffet and proper seating area. Overall the tour was amazing and i would do it again with Ahmed. I highly recommend Ahmed if you are looking for a good dessert tour!

    The dune cruise itself was really good. The food and drinks could be improved. The food was not particularly tasty, to put it nicely. Coke and Sprite etc. came from self-serve containers. Not an issue in itself. However, if the taste is lacking, you are forced to buy cans, for better or worse. But then they taste good too. We would book a trip to the dunes again at any time. The driver was also very nice. We would do without the rest in future. Not worth it and not worth the money. It was called camel riding...on arrival it said two minutes included. If you want more you pay...Henna included...on arrival, small henna included, slightly larger you have to pay. In the end, the experience was twice as expensive as originally paid.
