“It was a Very nice experience and Marvin is a great guide. The night was very cold, so make sure that you bring enough warm clothes for yourself.”

“Wir hatten eine tolle Wüstensafari mit Lagerfeuer, frischgekochtem Essen auf offenem Feuer und schlafen unter atemberaubendem Sternenhimmel! Der Kamelritt ist ein Erlebnis, anstrengend, aber dauert auch nur 2× 40 Minuten. Die Stopps vor dem Kamelritt sind ganz nett, aber nichts besonders. Insgesamt eine ganz besondere Erfahrung draußen in der Wüste.”

“Great experience! The camels seemed very well taken care of and the scenery and food were amazing. If you’re going in the winter months, bring a coat because it’s very cold at night!”
