The desert safari begins with the quad biking, the price of which is not included in the package. We paid 250 AED for a bike of 2. Make sure you reach to the desert by 3.30 pm in order to do quad biking and enjoy the sunset. Otherwise you will get very less time for sunset photography. After doing the quad biking it was time for dune bashing and it all depends on your driver that how much fun you are going to have. Our driver was very interactive and we had asked him to showoff his best skills and he exactly did that which made the dune bashing experience an amazing one. I thought falcon photography is also included in the package but it was not. Infact there wasn't any such activity. Post sunset we were taken to the camp where you can do camel ride and sand boarding, both of which were boring. Snacks and drinks were being served in the camp. In drinks water, soft drink and juices were included in the package but hard drinks were charged extra. The quality of snacks and dinner was not good. There were different stalls in the camp where you can shop but everything was too costly. One can also try the traditional dress in the camp but they were very dirty so i opted not to. The best part was the performances the belly dance was a bit boring but the fire show and tanura dance were very good. Overall if it is your first time here then you will surely enjoy the quad biking, dune bashing, sunset and the performances but I think it will be boring to visit...

Next was the famous Belly Dance performed by Sandilla followed by Tanura Dance. Both the performers were well trained with amazing skills.

We didn't do the traditional Arabic clothes photos as it can only be done through them at a cost, you can negotiate the price if...
