Polecam. Bilety kupiliłam dla 6 osób przez stronę internetową, szybko i sprawnie, kod QR zamieniłam przed samym wejściem at the top u przemiłej Pani w kasie. W ten dzień na godzinę 15, w tygodniu nie było kolejki. Było przed nami 5 osób. Sprawna organizacja, widoki przepiękne. Na miejscu sklep z pamiątkami, dubajska czekolada, mała kawiarenka, skrzydła do robienia pięknych zdjęć. Obowiązkowe miejsce do odwiedzenia w Dubaju.

The experience was wonderful! I highly recommend it because the staff was very friendly, communicative, and cooperative with us. He gave us good recommendations, helped us with videos and photos, and accommodated our schedule to pick us up from the hotel and drop us off at the hotel. He never rushed us during the entire activity and always made sure that we were all doing well. If I ever return to Dubai, I would book with him again. Highly recommended, and you are guaranteed to have fun and feel safe 👌🏼.

Unforgettable Desert Safari Experience! Our desert safari ride was absolutely amazing, and a huge credit goes to our guide kudrat made the entire experience exceptional. From the moment we started, he was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The dune bashing was thrilling yet safe, and his driving skills were truly impressive. He explained everything clearly, made us feel comfortable, and ensured everyone was enjoying the ride. The sunset views, photo stops, and overall desert atmosphere were breathtaking. His positive attitude and attention to detail turned this safari into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exciting, safe, and unforgettable desert safari. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!
