EXCELLENT Based on 86 reviews Posted on Oum Naysha Imrane MroiviliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons passé une très belle expérience, aussi bien pour le safari dans le désert que pour la visite d’Abu Dhabi. Le safari était très bien organisé. Nous avons également fait le quad, et c’était vraiment top ! La balade à dos de dromadaire était superbe, tout comme l’ambiance au camp, le spectacle et le dîner. Le seul point négatif pour moi a été le dune bashing : étant assise à l’arrière, c’était assez brusque et je me suis cognée la tête à plusieurs reprises, donc un peu inconfortable mais surtout car nous avions réservé en groupe donc place limitée, la prochainefois je ferais une réservation privée. En dehors de cela, tout était très très très très bien. La visite d’Abu Dhabi était géniale, avec une mention spéciale pour notre guide Jamel : vraiment au top, très professionnel, agréable, et en plus excellent photographe pour le groupe 😁😆 Il a largement contribué à la réussite de la journée. Un grand merci également à la personne qui s’est occupée de nos réservations : au top, très à l’écoute, réactive et disponible du début à la fin. Je recommande cette agence sans hésiter. Merci pour votre professionnalisme et votre gentillesse.Posted on Abid NavedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Evening desert was a excellent and enjoyable.
