We booked this tour with transport and meals, value for money was right. We were picked up on time and the view while driving was very nice. After a short amusing, as well as interesting tour through the camp, we went on the dromedaries and the tour started. The route length was sufficient, since of course not much happened on the way. Afterwards we could sit comfortably in the camp, chat a little and enjoy the delicious tapas. The return transport was not long in coming. All in all, a successful trip that we are happy to recommend!
