    Excellent evening. Our guide arrived on time and was friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone really enjoyed the camel ride, Bbq and entertainment. There was a bit of hanging around after the ride as we seemed to be one of the first groups to arrive at the camp but otherwise a great evening.

    My wife, my son and myself really have a great experience in this trip especially our guide Omar. He arrived on time to pick us up and drive smoothly to the desert.

    This was a fun evening. Our driver Imran Khan picked us up on time and was an excellent guide. We had a great time at the camp. Food was ok...it was a bit too hot to eat so couldn't eat much. The performances were great..especially the fire show and sufi dance. All in all an excellent deal for the price.
