Vi hade fått 04:00 som starttid, men fick ett SMS 00:00 (alltså 4 timmar innan) om att den blivit flyttad till 05.00. Bilen kom dock inte förrän 05:30… Tråkigt med en hel del missad sömn. I övrigt en trevlig upplevelse.

We had a great experience. Got to see the local wildlife before sunrise, enjoyed the sunrise on a dune and closed it with a nice picnic.
It was a great tour we would encourage everybody to do!

Well worth the early morning wake up to see such an amazing sunrise and wild animals in the desert. Guide was an expert at navigating and at times the drive was white knuckle. Sand boarding was a great experience but a strenuous walk back up so only for the fittest. Enjoyable breakfast picnic rounded off a fantastic trip Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience from pick up to drop off. Our guide was friendly, fun and informative. Saw lots of desert wildlife and learned so much about the animals. We felt that we were in safe and experienced hands. The dunes drive was brilliant. Lovely Arabian Coffee and Dates at sunrise and then a breakfast to finish. Very highly recommend this experience.

Mustafa our guide collected us from our hotel at the time advised, a drive out to the desert, tyres deflated a touch and then into the desert ready for the sunrise. It was a once in a lifetime experience seeing the sunrise over the dunes. Lots of photos and some sand boarding then off powering through the dunes in the Land Cruiser!! A picnic and flamingo watching at the end. Thank you!

Sehr empfehlenswert! Unser Fahrer Ornell hat uns viele Informationen gegeben und ist z.B. extra nochmals um den Kreisel gefahren, damit wir die Hasen bewundern konnten :) Wir haben uns zudem 100% sicher gefühlt im Auto und in der Wüste. Das Team hat sich gut um uns gekümmert, unsere Frage beantwortet und Fotos von den Teilnehmern gemacht falls gewünscht. Wir haben Oryx-Antilopen und Gazellen gesehen. Alles in allem sehr tolles Erlebnis, welches ich absolut weiterempfehlen kann!

We werden om 5 uur in de ochtend opgehaald in hotel. Op het boekingsformulier stond 4uur. We kregen een berichtje om half 4 dat we later werden opgehaald. Wel handig om dit even in de gaten te houden. Gids was super aardig. Zonsopkomst was mooi om te zien. We hadden ontbijt bij de flamingo vijver. Heel mooi! Een hele leuke ervaring.

Leider haben wir am morgen über 1 h gewartet da wir keine aktulisierten Abfahrzeit erhalten hatte. Auf der Bestätigung stand 4.00 Uhr aber es war dann 5.00 Uhr. Dies war ärgerlich da man zu früh augestanden war. Ansonsten der Ausflug war toll und auch der Guide super.

Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen und das Sandcruisen sowie das Sandboarden haben viel Spaß gemacht. Für das Geld eine absolute top Empfehlung und meiner Meinung nach ein preiswertes Must-Do

It was great morning trip! It started early in the morning (04:30 hotel pick up) but it was beautiful to see the sunrise. We had a nice breakfastduring the tour and were back in the hotel at 09:00, which was great! Saw wildlife during the trip and made nice pictures.

All round brilliant trip. The guide was superb. On picking us up explained the itinerary, so we not only knew what to expect, but reinforced the expectations we had when booking the trip. On return he even detoured to another location that we missed out on with another tour I reviewed previously. That tour was a complete shambles, this tour was brilliant.
