Customer Reviews
I was alone 2 days with my beduin guide, Selmi in the Shinai desert, near the White Canyon. Originally I wanted it to be 3 days, but due to technical issues with my bus I couldn't make it in time. Dahab Safari was kind and flexible enough to let me do the remaining 2 days. They quickly converted the 3 days safari to a 2 days safari and said they just want me to have a nice experience. I did have a very good experience, I wanted to have a glimps of an authentic beduin life for a few days and Selmi, my beduin guide did a fantastic job showing it to me. He also showed some beautiful places, cooked and made delicious beduin tea for me. I never felt insecure for a second, from the beginning I felt I can trust the drivers and Selmi too. For some people this might be a bit too much, so I would recommend this for hikers, and who has at least a normal fitness level. I think Dahab Safari may also offer smoother tours too. I can guarantee that those, who like adventures will have a wonderful time! Thank you Selmi, and thank you Dahab Safari, I would give you more than 5 stars if I could! 🙂
After walking up and down the strip and getting an idea on pricing, I came across Dahab Safari Day Tours and was introduced to Ahmed. He was always able to get me the best price on all the tours I wanted to do. Compared to some other cowboys nearby, Ahmed was professional and spoke with perfect English. Every tour I booked with him was well organised and great fun. He even sorted me a competitive taxi ride to the airport and when I lost my phone, was able to coordinate its return. What a life saver!
Dahab Tours staff are very helpful and accommodating!! They have the best customer service! They rescheduled my trip a couple of times, and were all very nice about it. I appreciated it very much! The submarine excursion was absolutely fantastic! What an experience to see beautiful corals and fish. Also the sea floor! Highly recommend the company and the trip to anyone!
