Unforgettable, authentic desert experience - We had the most amazing time on this desert safari. We decided not to stay overnight and just went in the afternoon and came back to Ali’s hotel at night. We were quite apprehensive about doing a camel safari as was worried about it being touristy but it absolutely wasn’t. It was so authentic and the camels seemed really well looked after. It was so lovely to meet the camel owners and our tour guide and hotel owner grew up in one of the desert villages so is very knowledgable about the area and it was so interesting to hear of his experiences.
We set off in a jeep into the desert with a few stops for sightseeing, met the camels and walked further into the desert. Here, a super delicious meal was cooked for us by the camel owners and we watched the sun set and ate dinner around the campfire, it was beautiful. I highly recommend this safari as an authentic and unforgettable experience.

Great experience - The guys of the tour were very kind and friendly. The ride in the camel was comfortable and there was no one in the area. The dinner in the dune was really tasty and very special

An authentic experience - This was one of the highlights of our India trip. Camels are well taken care of, we watched the sun set just above the sand dunes, the dinner is made under the shooting stars, and the whole experience is just fantastic. Ali arranged everything for us - he is the perfect host.

A real happiness!
We without hesitation recommend this safari which allows you to find yourself in peace during the safari 😉
