My buddy and I got to go on an unforgettable trip into the desert with Kismat from Funtours. Our guide, Kismat, had the biggest impact on our trip and really made it special. Throughout the entire trip, he was full of humor and friendliness. He was also consistently professional in planning and managing the trip’s schedule, and he really took care of us in certain situations. For example, he constantly made sure we had cold water with us. He also did his best to make the dune-bashing experience as enjoyable as possible, picking out the most beautiful spot for the sunset and making the journey there as fun as possible. In conclusion, I can say that the trip was well worth it and all the activities were a lot of fun, but our real highlight was our guide, Kismat, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Greetings to Kismat from Linus and Jannik from Germany.

We did the 4-hour trip with 20 minutes of quad biking. Discovering the desert and its dunes was really nice, we enjoyed the short quad bike ride in the dunes, but we were expecting more thrills with the 4x4 bashing. We were treated to a beautiful sunset, the only problem was that we had to wait 45 minutes before leaving because our guide wanted to eat there... honestly, it was too long for the return trip!

He made sure my kids and the whole family felt comfortable and safe throughout the trip. His driving skills were truly amazing — the dune bashing was thrilling but always felt safe in his hands. Every part of the day was well organized and enjoyable, and he was always attentive to our needs. It was truly a special day for our family, full of fun, excitement, and beautiful memories.

Great Desert Safari with the very friendly Adil as our guide and expert Dune basher! We were picked up from our hotel and after a comfortable 60 min drive out of downtown we arrived at the bustling desert station where we enjoyed some brilliant quad racing through the desert sands, a short camel ride which was the only little disappointment and finally a spectacular 4x4 dune bash by the very experienced Adil! Definitely worth booking, these guys are great!
