Wonderful experience… we have 4 kids ages 7-17 and they absolutely loved it. Awais was extremely hospitable and helpful. He was a very skilled driver and took the best photos. I think the other groups were jealous haha. Also we had the nicest and cleanest car of all! He even got us chai and offered his coat to us when it got a little chilly at the BBQ. Highly recommend! Thank you Awais for such a memorable time… my kids are constantly thanking us for such a great day and we are so grateful to have met you!

A wonderful experience!

We got picked up from our appartment by Mujahid and went to the dunes. We experienced an excellent tour with lots of things to do. Mujahid is a wonderful guide who listened to our requests and helped us enjoy the desert safari. We upgraded to a 4-seater dune buggy thanks to our guide and ended the day with some dune-bashing. I'd definitely recommend going on a tour with Mujahid.

So good
