    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.

    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.
