Review of Dubai’s Red Lahbab desert safari with dune bashing, sandboarding, camel rides, optional quad biking, and BBQ dinner.

“We went with Kashif, and he was very nice and patient. He was really helpful with the pickup and the drop-off. So about the driver I have nothing but good things to say. As for the activities, I found them to be at a very fast pace, not leaving enough time to do them calmly. Even the camel ride was only about 2–3 minutes, which was very short.”
