Perfect sunset desert experience, with perfect quality of content and service - I loved the experience and totally recommend it, for both: experience and service quality. Abdullah was a perfect guide and took perfect care of us, securing pick-up for us directly from hotel on the Palm Jumeirah. Very punctual, kept us always informed ahead of time, really great driver (I generally get car sick, but with Abdullah as driver felt perfect during city drive and off-road). The experience on the camp was great with various activities type and great quality. Food was great, with plenty of vegetarian options and the sweets were to die for 😊. We also chosen the 45 minutes camel ride. Totally loved it and Asif - our camel rider was amazing. He took so much care of us, teaching how to ride, keeping us safe and proved to be a great photographer - making sure we have precious memories on our phone as well. Thank you Abdullah, Asif and all the personnel at the camp for professionalism🙏🏻! The activities at the camp were just as described (you get what you buy) and enjoyed them all but the above are simply subjective to my own style😉. I was surprised to see we could also dress ourselves and try the Arabic outfits - we got help to dress up, having someone always close to help.

A visit to the desert - Anthony Erosh was our guide for the evening, and he was great. He took pictures for us and made sure we got sunset poses. He picked us up right outside of our building. The tour was great and exceeded our expectations. We rode camels, handled the falcon, got henna tattoos, did shishka, had Arabian coffee, tea, and sweets and saw an amazing show. The food was amazing, and the service was very nice.
