Abdul is an experienced guide who made it feel comfortable for this trip.
Before arrival, he messaged me to confirm the arrival time and pick us at the hotel.
Whilst travelling to desert base camp, Abdul shares his life and Arabic cultural to keep us engaged for an hour drive.
Before we arrived the desert, we stopped by the camel farm and met few adorable camels. Abdul has been helping us to take as many photos as we want.
Abdul did an amazing job for the dune bashing, and ensure we felt comfortable and calm for the drive.
We arrived the base camp just before 7, and managed to catch the sunset.
After the sunset, the tour guide arranged Arabic buffet for us and entertainment with different Arabic dances which was very enjoyable!
Once the show is ended, we were the only guests staying for the night which Abdul brought us to another dune for another 30 mins sky glazing. It was one of the most unforgettable experience in my life.
When we returned back to base camp, Abdul already arranged the campsite for us to stay and the space was very cosy. The only downside is the temperature where it dropped below 10degC at night but we expected the cold.
After one night camping in desert, we woke up around 6.30am to see the sunrise from top of the dune. Since we were the only guest in the desert, we have tried sandboarding as long as we can. After the sandboarding, Abdul prepared a continental breakfast for us to ensure we have a great start before returning to the hotel.
Overall the experience is amazing and Abdul is very accommodating in every aspect to keep us comfortable! I highly recommended this trip and Abdul as the best tour guide!
