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

I did two different safaris during my visit and the second made me realize how great this one was. The price is fantastic, the shops at the camp aren't bad prices for being a tourist activity, and the there's plenty of opportunities for photos on the 4 wheelers (whereas others only stopped for pictures with their photographer to sell you) and you can do most things at the camp at your own pace. I highly recommend this tour

The trips was really nice. Dune bashing was hella fun and buggy ride was also very exciting. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the tight time slot, so you have to be fast with taking pictures at the sunset and other things. Only during the shows we could really enjoy ourselves and take a closer look at the camp. There was also very little time to take a short walk outside the camp or even for a camel ride, sadly. Other than that it was amazing!
