  Very disorganised camp. There is no parking available and people are forced to park on the side of the road. The police fined everyone who had parked. They said that its allowed to park there.
  
  The quality of drinks and food was very average. The free shisha was just in a corner and they didn't start that until 7pm. All the people driving and serving were very rude and never gave a straight answer.
  
  Ive been to many camps but this was the worst. Pls avoid it.

  I have earlier experienced desrt safari with other tour operaters which was great but our "SKYLAND TOURISM" is the worst as we reached at 4.30 pm batch of 13 ppl at sharjah location given parked our cars waited for the 4x4 beast to come to take us dune bashing its with big disappointment to say till 6 pl we are waiting waiting , we decided to cancel trip and took our payment back thw whole friday was fried literally would like to add an employee in blue Tshirt of Skyland tours replied to my question how can 7 ppl sit in your 4x4 vehicle " Chayiye tho dass aadmi bhi bitaa denge aap bolegatho- means we can allow 10 ppl also in the vehicle if you say,isnt that odd this is the attitude of a tour operater where service should be taken care .. please note the 4X4 VEHICLE we saw can accommodate only 1(driver)+6
  Altogether very unprofessional and not at all suggestable to go with

  In one wordPathetic. At 4:30 PM, we arrived at the pick-up spot. Till 6 PM, they made us wait after taking the amount from us. That too under the Sun without any shelters. After the Sunset too, our ride did not come. Finally we had to mind our own business. A Friday wasted.
  
  One word of advice. Refrain from handing over the ride-fee or any advance bookings with this company until you are seated for the ride. Avoid 'taken for granted' situations.

  I’ve been on several desert safari tours in Dubai that were excellent, but this was absolutely horrible. If I had never been on a tour I would still have been shocked by the level of disorganization. I kept expecting someone to usher us someplace for an activity or dinner (standard on other tours), but we all just sat and waited around a stage for 2 hours while nothing happened.
  
  The camel part was literally 3 min long. The guy walked us around in one small circle like a child at the circus. It was laughable.
  
  There was a lot of garbage (old beds and mattresses, scrap metal) strewn all over the dunes around the compound.
  
  There was no sand surfing as indicated.
  
  At one point a falcon guy approached us and I asked him to put on a mask (COVID). He refused, put the bird on my friend and then demanded 40 Dhs. It was very disingenuous. Another guy kept approaching us repeatedly about putting a wrap/scarf around our heads. Even after saying no 3-4 times, he kept hounding us that we finally gave in. Then he demanded 50 Dhs. Other tours that I’ve taken there were no aggressive hawkers and in fact falconry shows and tying a scarf around the tourist head for them etc were included.
  
  The food served at dinner was not edible (served in plastic containers that looked like they had been prepared days earlier and sat out in the desert for a while). We fed it to the feral cats.
  
  At no point on our entire trip were we offered water to drink. Five hours in the desert and no water.
  
  The toilets had no water to wash hands in the sink.
  
  The dune bashing was fun (15min) and the belly dancer was great (10 min).
  
  Overall this was a complete waste of time and money.
