A 6-hour Mleiha Desert Safari in Sharjah with sandboarding, dune bashing, stargazing, and dinner at Mleiha Cafe.

“I didn't realise it was a private tour not that it would have made any difference. Sahib our driver/tour guide was fabulous. Very attentive especially when we did the dune bashing which was exhilarating and terrifying in equal measures. Although short the star gazing was amazing and we got to see Saturn as well as the 5th largest star. We were even lucky enough to see a fireball meteor! The food was plentiful and my only complaint was it was lukewarm when served.”

“This tour is off the beaten tourist tracks. The sights selected are nice and interesting. The guide tells you a lot about life in the VAE and knows a lot. The dune riding was super, we felt safe the whole time. The desert is also polluted by plastic waste, but less than in other parts of the desert where more tourists are brought to. The honey bee farm was very interesting and the honey is unique in taste. The guides take pictures whenever you want. It was a great trip!”
