Tariq is a great guide and professional safari driver. I would not trust anyone not familiar with the area because desert drive can be risky. Tariq was raised in Dubai and offers a lot of insights and support on this great day trip.

What was a last minute booked tour, it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences to date in the UAE. Upon arrival at the Yas venue, we were greeted by the fantastic Zeeshan whose enthusiasm for the venue and sport shown through. After a safety briefing, we were off on our exhilarating tour of the venue where we touched speeds of 60km/hr. The live tour description was given through head phones as we travelled around the venue by Zeeshan. The highlight for us was driving up the start/finish parallel the experiences of a F1 driver. This is a tour we will be recommending to all our friends in the UAE.
