“3-star experience given price of USD 460 (2 people): • Driver was friendly although not much structural information provided • Dune bashing was very enjoyable • Quad biking was fun but felt obligatory; guide said it was indoors, but it was outdoors—led to sunburn (150 QAR pp for 30 mins) • Nice beach with good nighttime views • Extra 150 QAR charged for hotel drop-off despite updating requesting new dropoff hotel at booking —3x Uber cost • No live entertainment, traditional music, or cultural performances despite what was advertised • “Arabian tents” advertised were temporary housing units with no basic amenities (shower gel, toothbrush, slippers). Little disappointing • Early departure…”
