“Impressive desert tour with delicious dinner and starry sky - We booked dinner together in the desert and even got a spontaneous upgrade for a canyon tour with a romantic sunset. Our guide spoke several languages and knew a lot about the landscape, history and people in the area. Everyone was super friendly, helpful and warm. We were even warned about a dangerous snake in good time, we certainly wouldn’t have discovered it. The food was delicious, there were plenty of refills and delicious tea and fruit for dessert. At the end we were able to admire the wonderful starry sky. Truly a unique experience!!” - Reviewed at 2024-04-08

The evening begins with a gentle camel trek, allowing you to soak in the enchanting surroundings. As you settle into the Bedouin tent, the aroma of a delicious BBQ dinner fills the air. The highlight of the night is the opportunity to gaze through a telescope, exploring the stars and constellations that adorn the night sky. This intimate setting, combined with the warm hospitality of the Bedouins, creates a magical atmosphere that is perfect for celebrating love.

“Great desert experience - We had a lovely time with our guide Mustafa and driver Tarik. We brought our mother (in law) with us into the desert. She is 90 years! The boys were so caring for her. Mustafa told us a lot about the desert life and nature. Tarik drove very carefully. We enjoyed the desert BBQ. Very good and tasteful food. All in all a wonderful experience!” - Reviewed at 2024-10-15
