He also shared interesting facts about the desert, the local culture, and traditions, which made the experience even more meaningful. The sunset views were breathtaking, and Imran made sure we got the best photo spots. The evening camp was also amazing — delicious food, great entertainment, and a wonderful atmosphere.
