We had an amazing time enjoying the thrill of sandboarding and the unique experience of riding camels under the stars. The BBQ dinner was delicious, though we could’ve used a bit more time to soak in the belly dance performance.

The highlight of my time was definitely the exhilarating sandboarding, which was both thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking as I tried to master the slopes. I also loved the intimate camel ride; it was a unique way to engage with the landscape, even if it left me a little sore the next day! The BBQ dinner under the stars felt like the perfect way to wrap up the day, although the belly dance performance was a bit too short for my taste, leaving me wanting more of that energy.

Our two-day adventure in the vast expanse of the dunes was nothing short of magical. The camel rides gave us a unique perspective of the landscape, and sandboarding was a thrilling experience for the whole family, even if our attempts were a bit wobbly at times. The evening BBQ dinner, accompanied by captivating belly dance performances, truly felt like a feast under the stars. One small drawback was that the private accommodations were a tad rustic, which may not suit everyone’s taste, but we found it added to the charm of the experience. Overall, we came away with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for the serene beauty of the desert.

We appreciated the blend of adventure and relaxation during our two days in the desert. Sandboarding was a thrilling experience, and we relished the moments spent on a camel ride, which offered a unique perspective of the stunning landscape. The BBQ dinner was a definite highlight, though the belly dance could have been longer to fully immerse us in the culture.
