The entire trip was a truly unique experience. During the ride, you can enjoy breathtaking landscapes, join in on karaoke with the guide, or listen to his fascinating insights about the local culture. The driver adds to the experience, being both highly professional and strictly adhering to traffic regulations. The bus was comfortable, equipped with Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The night in the desert was incredible, with a sky full of stars and a cozy campfire accompanied by traditional local music. The camel ride and sandboarding were also fantastic highlights! You even have the option to race through the desert on a quad bike and catch the sunrise – an exhilarating experience not to be missed. The bus makes stops every 1.5 hours for short breaks at local spots where you can grab water and snacks. This tour offers so much, and I highly recommend it. We are tired but completely satisfied!
