I was very sceptical of this trip as the price was so good. It turned out to be a very good outing.
First up... Quad biking - ended up with 30 minutes of blasting around a play area. Loads of room to have fun at speeds managed by yourself. 2 of our party members were a little worried as they were in their 70's but seemed to enjoy it.
Next... Dune bashing - Ismail Shaban (our driver) was a great driver. We had loads of fun with a few funny noises coming from the rear of the car (mother-in-law). Ismail stopped in some lovely photographic places and took loads of pictures for us on his own camera. I think he must have been a photographer in his past life as they were very good. Part of dune bashing included about 30 min of sand surfing. Good fun but tiring climbing back up the dunes afterwards.
Next... Camel Ride - Very short visit that included sitting on a camel and a short walk. Enough time to appreciate what it was like.
Finally... Evening Food and Show - Lovely finish to the day. Selection of food incl. BBQ, Drinks (soft drinks and water was free) and dancing. Daughter got a Henna tattoo.
Driver/Tour Guide Ismail our driver made the day very enjoyable and did a bit of bartering for us when needed. Whilst quad biking, pictures are taken but we refused to buy them. Ismail managed to get them for us without telling us. He gave them to us for free at the end of the day. All of the photos Ismail took on his own phone were given to us for free at the end of the day. If you book this trip, try to get Ismail...

From the moment we were picked up, it was clear we were in for an adventure of a lifetime. The dune bashing was exhilarating, with breathtaking views of the endless golden sands, and the sunset over the desert was truly magical.
A huge shoutout to Ahmed, our guide, who went above and beyond to make this experience extraordinary. His expertise, friendly demeanor, and knack for storytelling brought the desert to life. Ahmed ensured we felt safe during the thrilling activities and gave us plenty of tips to enjoy every moment. His passion for the culture and knowledge of the desert added a personal touch that made this tour stand out.
While the activities, and cultural performances, were fantastic, the food at the campsite could use some improvement. The buffet lacked variety and the flavors felt somewhat underwhelming, especially after such an adrenaline-packed day. With some enhancements to the menu and preparation, the dining experience could match the high standards set by the rest of the safari. Primarily the snacks being stone cold was a real let down.
Overall, Arabian Horizons delivered a glorious desert adventure thatâs hard to beat. With guides like Ahmed leading the way, itâs an experience youâll treasure forever. If they can elevate the food, itâll be perfect in...
