    I definitely recommend this tour to everyone. It was a long journey, but worth it. The driver was a good driver. The camp was very clean - we even had showers and you could charge your phone. It was very pleasant in the camp. Hassan and Ibrahim were very friendly. In short, definitely recommemd this tour!

    What an amazing experience! Long drive but worth it! The Guys in the camp could not be more friendly and helpful, made us feel welcome and we had a fab time! Few advises: -take only what you need for 1 night, preferably in the backpack as everything is going with you on the camel -take bottle of wine if you fancy a glass with your dinner , they don’t mind . -if you can afford go for luxury tent , amazing bed with your own toilet and the food is upgraded ( it was amazing)

    It was very nice but before you go you need to know that the trip is very long, you will stay in the car for a very long time, 7h at least per day. I did not like the way they treated the camels. In the desert just walk, dont be on the top of the camels, its sad. Anyway... It was nice to do it once but I would not do it again and this not for everyone.
