We had such a wonderful day exploring the ghost village. The desert drive was exciting, the sandboarding was a blast, and the abandoned village was fascinating. The guide shared lots of interesting history and made sure we were safe throughout the tour. Watching the desert sunset was magical. Highly recommend this adventure!

The experience was simply amazing! I didn’t expect such an interesting place existed near Dubai. The Ghost Village tour offered a quiet escape with a sense of mystery. Our guide gave us a great insight into the old Emirati life and the reason the village was abandoned. We took some beautiful pictures and enjoyed the calmness of the desert surroundings.
