Traveler Reviews
Luxury in the middle of nowhere
We’ve done desert tours before, but this luxury experience was on another level. The tents were more like hotel rooms with proper beds and ensuite bathrooms. The food was restaurant quality – we had a 5-course dinner under the stars! The sunset champagne reception on the dunes was pure magic. Worth every euro for a special occasion.
Le luxe au cœur du désert
Nous avons choisi ce circuit pour notre lune de miel et nous n’avons pas été déçus. Le bivouac de luxe était incroyable – lit confortable, salle de bain privative et même de l’eau chaude! Les repas étaient dignes d’un bon restaurant. Notre guide était aux petits soins. L’expérience astronomie avec le télescope était fascinante. Un souvenir inoubliable!
Perfect balance of adventure and comfort
We wanted the desert experience but weren’t keen on roughing it. This tour was the perfect solution. The 4×4 driving was exciting, the dunes were breathtaking, but returning to a comfortable camp with excellent food made all the difference. The private camel ride at sunset was romantic. The staff anticipated our every need. Highly recommend for couples.
¡Increíble experiencia de lujo!
El campamento era espectacular, mucho más de lo que esperábamos. Las tiendas eran espaciosas y muy limpias. La comida era excelente – cada cena era una sorpresa gastronómica. El servicio fue impecable. El paseo en camello al atardecer fue mágico. El precio es más alto que otros tours, pero vale completamente la pena por la calidad.
