What Our Guests Say:

— Sami T., Belgium (TripAdvisor, March 2025)

Incredible Family Experience

We booked a 2-night camel trek for our family, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Our children (8 and 11) loved the camels and the music around the fire.

We visited a nomad family and even tried sandboarding! The guides were fantastic with the kids.
