“Starry night in the white desert! - We had a great time in the White Desert! It was 2 days and one overnight sleep in the desert. It’s like being in another world. Be prepared for quite a long travel time in the car to get there, roughly 4-5 hours depending on traffic. Our driver Mohammed was very nice and friendly and allowed us to listen to our music. We also stopped in multiple gas stations for bathroom breaks. The first stop had a great bathroom, the second stop not so much so bring some tissues. We did multiple stops such as seeing black desert, doing sandboarding, etc. before arriving at the white desert to set up camp. Ahmed our white desert driver/guide made such lovely dinner for us and we watched the stars at night till late. We could see the Milky Way from the desert! Such a wonderful experience. We had an incredible time and highly recommended!” - Reviewed on 2023-10-07

We visited so many locations and Yousef was very knowledgeable on each of the stops, letting us stay as long as we wanted to explore. The camp was a once in a lifetime experience, with live music, a delicious barbecue and comfortable tent set up by our guides. The stargazing at night was unmissable.
