I want to write about my experience in desert safari.WHAT A DAY!!

What an experience! Before booking the Desert Safari package, I had seen the incredible reviews and still had in the back of my mind that it couldn’t have been really that great. Well in this case, I am happy to be wrong! Masuood , our tour guide for the day, was professional, fun, easy to have a conversation with and was knowledgeable about the area. He greeted us in our hotel and ensured we had everything we needed.After that the dune bashing (they’re not light on the bashing!) was a blast! Some scary fun moments, a few adrenaline filled screams later and we ended up at our photo stop and sandboarding. After that, to camp and we really didn’t think the day could get any better. Thanks to masuood.He was amazing.Also,orient tours were 5 star! The exclusive camp full of beautiful tradition and capsulated everything for a world class ‘Arabian night’ experience. The camels, stargazing, performers were incredible! Dinner & Dessert - where do I even begin! Incredible, incredible food, so many cuisines and options and all SO DELICIOUS! I would tell all of my family and friends to book this experience 1000 times over! Thank you Masuood & Orient team,for making our day unforgettable
