“This tour is off the beaten tourist tracks. The sights selected are nice and interesting. The guide tells you a lot about life in the VAE and knows a lot. The dune riding was super, we felt safe the whole time. The desert is also polluted by plastic waste, but less than in other parts of the desert where more tourists are brought to. The honey bee farm was very interesting and the honey is unique in taste. The guides take pictures whenever you want. It was a great trip!”
