The camels were so happy and looked really well looked after. The camel ride itself was just long enough and we even saw some other camels free roaming. The guides took photos of us and answered our questions. Sunset was amazing got some brilliant photos. We had some tea at the end and some more photos with the camels. They were so lovely and friendly you could pet them and they genuinely seemed so happy. One of the best trips I have done…”

He was always in hand throughout the trip to provide guidance and advise as well as make the journey to and from the Desert great fun with his choice of music in the bus. The camel ride is incredible a must do to make your desert experience complete. Add that to the food and entertainment and the trip is excellent value for money. I cannot speak highly enough about Hafid as our guide, his communication before and after…”
