The Good Stuff
Full itinerary
A typical safari can include dune bashing, sunset photography, camel riding, camp dinner and live shows.
Family friendly
One family group with a four-year-old found the SUV outing comfortable, with water, a bathroom break and photo help.
Camp entertainment
The evening programme includes cultural performances, with reviews mentioning fire shows, belly dancing and other live acts.
Photo stops
Guides are often praised for choosing sunset viewpoints and helping guests take group or posed photographs.
Lost-property help
One guest lost a watch during the tour; staff found it and delivered it to the guest’s hotel.
Clean facilities
A review specifically praised the camp’s clean toilets and described the facility as new.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm inclusions. Before paying, confirm in writing whether VIP seating is included; one guest reported being asked for an extra 50 dirhams.
Clarify activities. If you do not want dune bashing, confirm the alternative before boarding, since two reviews describe refusals not being respected.
Expect extras. Budget separately for juices, alcohol and some activities; one family said those drinks cost extra and VIP seating was 50 dirhams per person.
Time arrivals. Arrive early if you want to reduce queues, as one review mentioned waiting for BBQ and camel riding.
Skip supermarket. Treat the pre-safari supermarket stop cautiously: one reviewer warned of inflated prices, including a 10-dollar ice cream.
Check dining. Ask about vegetarian food and serving conditions before booking, because reviews differ sharply on the camp meal.

The Bottom Line
Red Sand Tourism LLC is a travel agency and destination management company in International City whose customer feedback centres on desert safari trips. The usual experience combines dune bashing, sunset photo stops, camel riding and an evening camp with dinner and live entertainment. Several reviewers found the driving exciting without feeling uncontrolled, and families mention clean vehicles, water and help with photographs.
The programme has plenty to do beyond the main ride. Reviews mention sandboarding, henna, short camel rides, ATV or buggy activities, fire shows, belly dancing and other performances. Camp feedback is mixed: some guests found the food plentiful and delicious, while others described it as cold, stale or poorly prepared, with one complaint about limited vegetarian choices and unhygienic food.
Queues for BBQ and camel riding can also occur. Book carefully rather than assuming every advertised inclusion is straightforward. Confirm whether VIP seating is already part of your package, as one guest reported being asked for an additional 50 dirhams, and ask what drinks or add-ons cost.
Two serious reviews also allege that dune bashing continued after guests declined it, followed by intimidating handling of the complaint. That makes clear pre-trip communication about activities especially important.
