We did choose a bit unlucky time as sand was not good for sandboarding due to weather, but rest was amazing. Dunes driving was crazy and Musthafa was very skilled driver as well as friendly great guide. Program at the camo was fun and services there was as well cool. Can recommend trying this for sure.

Très bonne activité avec spectacle et barbecue. Guide au top (Nasr). Changement de dernière minute qui a failli nous coûter la prestation sur horaire de départ mais tout s’est bien passé au final superbe vue le lendemain matin sur le levée du soleil. Matériel de bivouac sommaire mais convenable

Ein sehr tolles Erlebnis für Groß und Klein! Allein die Fahrt mit dem Jeep über die Dünen war schon eine sehr gute Unterhaltung! Gute Stopps in der Wüste bis hin zum Camp. Alles ist sehr gut organisiert. Die Kamele zu reiten ist einmalig und der Falkner hat eine kurze aber sehr schöne Show veranstaltet. Im Camp selber kommt bei vielen kleineren Aktvitiäten keine Langeweile auf. Jederzeit gibt es zu Trinken und zu Essen. Das BBQ war gut, abwechslungsreich und reichhaltig. Die Abendshow vielseitig. Aber das Beste war die Übernachtung! Die Einsamkeit auf einer dunklen Düne, die Sterne genießen... und mit der Sonne wieder aufwachen
