Well where do I start. Ok I guess the hotel pick up. We turned out to be a group of 6 people plus the driver jam packed into an SUV. There was zero water provided when in the tour description it said drinks were provided all day. Then the hour and 20 minute trek to the desert. We were told to get out of our SUV and jump into another SUV. There we were greeted by another driver who was going to take us dune bashing. This in total was around 30 minutes with a 15 minute stop in the middle. As soon as the car stopped for these 15 minutes the driver immediately pushed us to go in trip advisor and leave him and the tour a 5 star review. A few in our group fell for it and the rest argued with the driver that we would wait until the tour was over to review it. Then we were driven to the campsite. We had to go to the check in room and were given our time slots for the atv, camel ride and snow boarding . We again we're not offered anything to drink and asking for water was impossible. Then we were told to walk to the ATVs and had to wait 30 minutes in the heat and sun again with nothing to drink and nowhere to sit besides old tires in the sand. Finally the atv starts. It was fun however we booked for 60.minutes and our ride ended after 30.minutes. when I brought it up with them they said no problem we will wait until the next group comes back then you can go again. By that time it was already dark and we could only go for 15 minutes. The sand boarding was just sad. It was a hill of sand like 10 feel tall and went right into the side of the bldg. The camels just looked so sad that we refused to ride them. Then.... Dinner and the show. The upgraded to the VIP package which states would have better food and drinks. It did not. Actually the people who did not upgrade and had to go to the buffet had a better selection. Btw the food is all indian with a small selection of grilled meats. Again we asked for water. It never came. We got a small plastic cup with flat coke. The food was terrible and the show was sad. The only food past was the fire show. Not worth it
