Great trip but 8 hours better than 17 hours

Michelle_R, Mar 2022
Aldo our guide was really helpful, the 4x4 through the Dune was great fun. Good photo opportunities. The evening entertainment was good quailty - belly dancer, arabian dancer and fire eater. BBq dinner was good. The experience of sleeping under the stars was not so great, lots of light polution. No mattresses supplied just a sleeping bag for a mattress and a sleeping bag to sleep in. The 8 hours trip of 4x4, bbq and evening entertainment I would recommend but not the addition of sleeping in a tent

Toller Ausflug mit blödem Ausklang

Luisa_W, Jul 2024
Der Aufbau des Camps mit den verschiedenen Angeboten und Aktivitäten war überwältigend (vor allem in Kombination mit dem tollen Sonnenuntergang). Das Barbecue - Buffet bot eine große Auswahl an unterschiedlichsten Speisen (vegetarisch und fleischhaltig) und der uneingeschränkte Zugang zu Wasser und Softdrinks war toll! Leider waren wir die einzigen Übernachtungsgäste an dem Tag und hätten uns gewünscht, vorher darüber informiert zu werden. Uns war sehr unwohl zumute, als wir hörten, dass wir (2 junge Mädchen), alleine mit 3 erwachsenen einheimischen Männern im Camp, welches abseits der "Zivilisation" lag, übernachten sollten. Aus diesem Grund brachen wir die Übernachtung ab und ließen uns zurück in die Stadt zum Hotel bringen.
