“Best ride of my life - It was well organized. We were dressed in traditional clothing then lead to our camels. Everyone was so kind and helpful getting us on our camel. We went for a two-hour ride led by two young lads who took very good care of us. Also followed by a dog who comes along with the ride. The ride was so good. When we got back we had mint tea and cookies. This is a family-run company and they take pride to ensure you are having a great time. This is truly worth it. I would not hesitate to do it again.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-14
