To do, excellent experience - First we deflate the tires and then it's Paris Dakar. It shakes hard but it's excellent. After the barbecue meal, the fire eater dances and of course the camels and dune skiing. I highly recommend it even with children.

10/10 recommend: perfect!!! - This was one of my most memorable and best trips ever. Our driver, Mr. Ismael, provided the best services for us. He played music for us (the playlist was incredible), and always helped us with anything we needed. The drive in the dessert was so much fun and my favorite activity on this trip. Mr. Ismael insisted on taking our pictures at the viewpoints and they came out amazing. The camels were super fun and so cute. This trip will definitely be one I will remember forever.

Rain in the Desert did not hinder our trip - We got our tour booked by Danna at the desk in Dubai Mall. Very friendly and helpful. Our driver was Abdul who was very calm and obviously knew what he was doing. Our trip was slightly unpleasant not because of the service but for the first time, we experienced rain in the desert. So we couldnt do some of the activities we had planned in the desert. Overall it was great. The rain was unexpected for us but our kids had the most fun.
