The food, entertainment,...

The food, entertainment, and tours were all terrible. There was no one to look after you; you had to figure everything out yourself. Definitely look for another tour company.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Kenan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. The Desert Safari package booked is our standard shared experience, which includes shared seating, shared camp facilities, and self-service access to activities such as henna painting, shisha in the designated area, and traditional attire for photos. These inclusions and arrangements are outlined in the tour description to help guests understand the nature of the experience prior to booking. During your visit, our team was present at the camp to assist guests. Optional upgrades, including private seating and table-service shisha, were available for those who preferred a more exclusive setup. We understand you chose to proceed with the free package.
