This was absolutely amazing. I have done dessert safari’s before but this has to be the best one! The effort, the souvenir gifts, the guides all the staff at the camp, the food and the vintage vehicle were all beyond amazing! It was the person ride in the dessert. It’s activity packed and amazing. Nizar, our guide was kind, very informative and absolutely amazing.

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was eager to make sure we had a great experience. The old Land Droves were a great touch. The food was plentiful and each dish was explained. Would highly recommend.
