I took my sister who was visiting and we both absolutely loved it! Al Fahidi/SMCCU is such a beautiful place to begin with. The brunch was fabulous; the food was incredible and our Emirati host was lovely. It was so nice learning about the Emirati traditions, history and culture. I am absolutely going to rebook again in the future!

This tour had everything you could wish for. Comfortable transport with a friendly guide. Amazing experiences in the desert - loved the sand fish. Falcon display, camel ride, great food and loved the stargazing

Excellent guide, Khaled is the best and we learned a lot about the Emirati culture. The food was good and traditional. We had an amazing experience

Very kind knowledgable and passionate guide, left a very positive impression on the kids, excellent initiative by the state

I recommend it to everyone, a very nicely organized visit, excellent food, something different from the usual.
