Camping under the cloudy sky with amazing views

Janina_O, Oct 2021

Exciting trip to the dessert visiting different sites within the Black Desert and the White Dessert. Our driver Ahmed gave the best so that we had a great adventure in the 4x4. He tooks to different places which breathtaking views and landscapes while providing safe but adventurous driving all the way through. He set camp in the middle of the desert in no time and prepared a delicious dinner for all of us which we had under the desert sky, although unfortunately too cloudy to see the stars, followed by tea made from the fireplace. He was very friendly and spoke good English. Communication with him and the operator was great. The only downsides of the trip is that it takes about 5 hrs to get to the first stop and the driver (another person different to the guide at the desert) didn’t speak English. Luckily we had an Egyptian traveler with us, otherwise it would have been difficult to understand each other. Overall, if you are for an adventure and don’t mind to sit your butt for over 8 hrs of have the experience, I would totally recommend it.
