Jaisalmer desert and sunset camel ride experience

Jainaryan_S, Feb 2024
Our guide Khabir was outstanding. His knowledge of the local culture, village life and the stops he made added richly to our experience. The camel ride and sunset on the dunes were also great memories.

Pleasant afternoon and evening

Christine_R, Mar 2026
Good organization that allows to visit three squares in the desert before reaching the place of the festivities. Very helpful and attentive driver, speaking English. The show lasts more than an hour and the buffet is fine. The sunset is not exceptional but it remains a good value for money.
