    We had an excellent time during desert safari. Our guide was Nowfar T.K and he was the best. He was on time to pick us up at the hotel, then we spent a lovely time in the desert. We have seen a camel farm as well with a lot of camels running wild in the desert. He was also an expert in driving on the dunes, it was exciting. Then we arrived to the camel ride, where he also took photos from us with our camera (excellent photos) After, we went to the camp and tried the sandboarding while tasting arabic coffee. We had very good memories during the trip, I highly recomment this program and the guide as well!

    We wanted to discover the desert on the natural side, at a good time (24 degrees in August!), Take the breakfast with the sunrise and we were delighted! I therefore recommend: discovering the flora and fauna with Orient Tour. Thanks to Mustapha our guide who led us, explained, showed us gazelles, oryx and lots of bird species! Prepare oriental coffee and tea with assorted sweets at sunrise on a dune. It was just magic! We had all our senses awakened. Frankly, discovering Dubai off the beaten track is worth the detour! We recommend!
