Great Desert Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great Experience in the empty quarter. Salim is a very nice guy and really seems to love the places he showed to us. Yes, it is a long ride of 2-3 hours to the dunes and then back to Abu Dhabi but it is worth. We had more than 2 hours dune bashing which was great fun, a fascinating place. We had a good picknick dinner in a small oasis. It is a very simple dwelling, the palm dates farmer was very cordial. For us, it is good to support these people but it should be mentioned in the description of the trip as it is truly a simple place. The sundown in the desert is great colourfull.

Excellent trip and great driver.

The experience was great and memorable. The peacefulness of the sand dunes and the amazing shows created a breathtaking atmosphere. Our driver, Navaf, was a very nice, helpful and knowledgeable guy. Overall, an amazing full day activity.

Breath Taking

Published on Dec, 2024

Adil booked my tour and was phenomenal with answering all of my questions. My tour guide Ibrahim arrived early for pick up. He was extremely professional and very knowledgeable on a variety of topics. The drive was amazing and so different from the rest of the other Emirates. Ibrahim was highly experienced at driving in the desert. He was definitely a stunt driver and showed off the capabilities of a Land Cruiser. We felt safe. He was as a fun tour guide. He also served as our photographer to capture the perfect picture. Ibrahim made a beautiful picnic lunch for us. We even had dates from the oasis date tree that were fresh and yummy. Ibrahim was outstanding at planning and organizing our day. I never felt rushed. He took his time and showed us as much as possible. I enjoyed listening to his stories and history lesson he provided throughout the trip. He explained the agenda, and customized it to meet our unique needs. I saw the desert from a totally different perspective thanks to Ibrahim. I learned about the different color of sand. Also, I heard the dunes sing...It was the wind, but sounds cool. Ibrahim knows the Empty Quarter, so well, he didn't even use GPS for the entire trip. This was the best tour that I have taken thanks to Ibrahim and his attention to detail. He showed us great campsite locations too. We saw a car museum along the way, Tropic of Cancer, black camels, several oases, gazelles and Liwa with the tallest sand dunes around. Of course we saw the incredible Moreeb Dune. It was a long drive, but worth every minute of it. The peace and tranquility were so relaxing. At times, we were the only vehicle around, so cool. The weather was perfect. As the sun faded, this place became even more magical. The best sunsets and desert views that were absolutely breath taking that I have seen in the UAE. We passed by other cities that were interesting. This trip left me with a new love, respect and appreciation for the desert. Don't pass this trip up. It is a must see. Ask for Ibrahim to show you the desert the proper way. I will never forget this experience.

Excellent
