Abbas Besso was the absolute best tour guide! The hotel pickup started with a friendly smile. The sand bashing was absolutely exhilarating - he was an extremely skilled driver through the sand dunes so it was fun yet safe. Lots of water provided. Sand boarding was pretty different than snowboarding but very fun. Camel rides, pictures with falcons, beautiful desert sunset, bbq feast, cultural dancing, and the list goes on. This was the experience of a lifetime and I would highly recommend Abbas!

Just awesome from inception, the company we booked provided exceptional hospitality, they kept us updated and very responsive. Our tour pick up time was confirmed the evening before, and Abid Wahid, our driver and guide took care of the rest. Very welcoming, he approached us at the lobby of our hotel then provided the best service above expectations, never felt rushed or needed to keep up with their communication. While driving he spoke of their history and explained what we needed to know. This is a must do activity and it will be memorable for people who are reading this review. Oh and Abid is great at taking photos.

I had such a wonderful day trip with Fahad! He makes sure that we had everything we wanted and he gives us a lots of insides about the emirate culture. I had so much fun on the dunes and I loved the evening at the camp. I recommend this day trip for tourists and locals.

Wow!! We are so impressed with this tour. This is a must if you are in Dubai. Inaan was our tour guide and he was FANTASTIC. He was always attentive and answered so many questions about Dubai. He was also a great driver, we (me and my 12 year old) always felt safe even in the dune bashing. The food and show was also great!! I highly recommend and hopefully you will get Inaan as your guide!

This tour company went beyond what I expected. Their communication is exceptional even at 2:30 in the morning! Gamal was our guide (14yrs experience), extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. He made my experience feel like a private tour in many ways. This company is fortunate to have his dedication.

Amazing experience! Very well organized . Our driver Nouman was fabulous, keeping us informed about what was going on and provided us with some great tips on how to expand our dessert experience. The food (and it was a lot), service (we had the V.I.P. service) was great at the dessert camp. Thank you all for an experience I will never forget. Highly recommend this excursion and company.
