Brilliant family experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

We absolutely loved EVERYTHING! So many highlights - the incredible food, impressive views, the bedouin experiences, and the cosy stone huts. Extra thanks to our awesome guide - Ravi, who went above and beyond to make our trip so special. Thank you for giving us a wonderful experience.

Exceptional desert experience

Published on Jan, 2025

This is not our first or second time with platinum heritage, we’ve been going every year since 2019 or so. If this doesn’t say we consistently get a premium experience then I don’t know what will. The team knows my family by name now and they’ve seen my kids grow. We receive exceptional hospitality and service every time. Thank you Ayyub, Amir and all the team

Brilliant overnight experience

Published on Jan, 2025

We did the overnight trip with some friends and had an amazing time. Everything was fantastic from our guide Samy who was wonderful, vintage land rovers, activities (falcon show and star gazing experience were highlighs), accommodation was incredibly comfortable, sunrise in the desert and the food was exceptional. All the staff were friendly and engaged and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended

Once in a lifetime experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Just amazing experience. Our guide Danish was very kind, attentive, and passionate about the wildlife conservation aspects of the tour. I will remember this as one of my best lifetime experiences.
