We were extremely impressed with our guide, Mr. Ali. His engaging personality and deep knowledge of the area made the tour truly special. His fluent English made communication effortless, and his skilled driving ensured a smooth journey in a comfortable vehicle to the desert. Even during the safari jeep ride, we felt completely safe under his expert handling. His understanding of local wildlife was remarkable, and he even gave us great tips for capturing the best photos. I'd highly recommend this tour, especially for visitors who prefer a more relaxed desert experience over dune bashing. If you can, definitely request Mr. Ali as your guide!

While this tour covers just a portion of the desert, it's clearly a favorite spot for wildlife thanks to the available food sources and man made lake. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. English speaking visitors will appreciate the opportunity to chat with the guide about various topics from daily life in the region to desert survival, camel and falcon care, and training techniques. The breakfast at the oasis was relaxed with no pressure, and the camel ride proved genuinely enjoyable. With its intimate, non commercial feel, we cherished every moment without a single regret.
