Sunset Camel Ride and Buffet

5.00This was a highlight of our trip to Dubai. We were picked up and dropped off by Nikki who was a great driver. The 40 minute camel ride was excellent and our escort took many photos of us. The buffet of local dishes was extensive- we couldn’t try everything but what we had was delicious. The entertainment included music, a fire show, and an Arabian horse display. The camp also had two powerful telescopes that were aimed at the moon and Saturn. This particular excursion did not offer noisy activities like dune bashing which is one of the reasons we chose it (the other being the long sunset camel ride). Highly recommended!
I had an amazing...
