The Sandboarding activity is not advertised correctly online. We waited an hour for pick-up, were then taken to a holding area for another hour - camel riding and quad biking (not included in our package) were offered but we didn't opt for these. Overall we enjoyed the experience (dune bashing & sandboarding) and had a great driver, but the Sandboarding activity should be advertised properly online. Total time from when we were ready for pick up and dropped back was 5 hours

El problema ha sido que para la actividad de Sandboard se especifica que tendria una hora de duración y que nos llevarían a distintas dunas según fuéramos cogiendo confianza pero realmente no ha sido así Solo hemos estado 22 minutos y siempre en la misma duna y además teníamos que ir sentados en la tabla cuando en las imágenes siempre sale gente de pie es decir haciendo snow sobre la arena y no tirandose como si fuese un trineo Pido se nos devuelva el dinero,o al menos el 60% ya que hicimos 20m

The problem was that for the Sandboarding activity it was specified that it would last one hour and that they would take us to different dunes as we gained confidence, but in reality it was not like that. We were only there for 22 minutes and always on the same dune and we also had to sit on the board when in the images there are always people standing up, that is, snowboarding on the sand and not sliding down like a sled. I ask for our money back, or at least 60% since we did 20m.

Von der vierstündigen sandboarding Tour war sandboarding nur 15 Minuten, es gab nur 1 Board für 6 Personen, dass keine Bindung hatte, der Guide hat keine Anleitung oder Hilfestellung gegeben und war die ganze Tour über sehr unfreundlich. Der Kamelritt war sehr kurz über einen Autoparkplatz und wir haben viel Zeit an einem Rastplatz verbracht, während der Guide aß und die Reifen aufgepumpt wurden. Eine sandboarding Tour wo nur 15 Minuten sandboarding ist verdient den Namen nicht!!!

The local provider has indicated to us that you did sandboarding for the time you chose. As the time was not reached, you were offered a camel ride to compensate and complement the activity. We are sorry that the service did not live up to your expectations.

Très très déçue me voilà partie pour du sand boarding avec mes 2 enfants Leur rêve En fait comprendre que entre des photos une balade en chameau vous ferez 3 descentes avec une planche dans le coffre pour 6 Bref très déçue En fait toutes les activités sont les mêmes et ne sont pas axées sur un truc en particulier

The time is the dessert was very good. The return to Dubai took and extra 50+ minutes because of dropoff and pick up logistics.
