The experience is incredible. Our driver was a real safari pilot, always pleasant and patient. The landscapes are beautiful and the views are always well chosen. I absolutely recommend!
Our trip to the desert was amazing. We got to see some really cool sites (whale bones in the middle of the desert!?), beautiful landscapes, we swam in the desert and ate some delicious local food along the way. Our guide Kareem was really nice and had very interesting stories to tell, both about the sites and about what he does. Racing across the dunes was really exciting and I felt very safe throughout the entire drive. We also got to go sandboarding - 10/10 would recommend!
