Soon Holidays runs its own fleet, its own drivers and its own camp in the Al Khatim dunes, 45 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi. Every vehicle is dune-rated and inspected, every driver is permit-holding and first-aid trained, and every group is tracked from pickup to drop-off.

The VIP majlis was worth every dirham. Our host looked after the whole group and the sunset photo stop was unreal.

Booked the family private safari with two kids. Gentle drive on request, kids' menu, and the team was genuinely careful.

Overnight stay was the highlight of our UAE trip. Waking up to silence and sunrise over the dunes — nothing like it.
