EXCELLENT Based on 262 reviews Posted on Anna B28/01/2026Verified Unforgettable night in the desert. The tour guide Khalid was punctual, attentive, helpful for all our needs and very nice. The driving in the sand dunes was spectacular and managed to take us up and away from the many cars present so that the sunset we could enjoy on our own. The camp well organized; good dinner and the after dinner around the fire under the stars in companions of other guests very funny. Even the dawn was unforgettable.Posted on Sebastian H28/01/2026Verified Fully recomended Fantastic , safe, private tours. Lots of fun and individual care.

Our tour guide, Khalid, was very skilled, friendly, and professional. We experienced a sunset desert safari over the top of the dunes, and it was truly amazing. Khalid was extremely careful while driving on the dunes, especially since my wife is pregnant—he kept checking on us throughout the ride, which made us feel very safe and comfortable. We also had a memorable anniversary celebration on the dunes. It was an unforgettable experience and a must-visit trip!Posted on Rahul M25/12/2025Verified Best one day Trip with Khalid We had so much fun. We went with Khalid, too friendly and well mannered..
