Margherita – Italie
Viaggio in pulmino con autista Said molto gentile. Soste tattiche per pause pipì e pranzo. Il paesaggio attraversato per arrivare al deserto è estremamente variabile e bellissimo da ammirare. Passeggiata in cammello per arrivare al camp facendo una sosta per il tramonto. Camp davvero lussuoso, tenda ampia confortevole e bagno privato. Cena tipica e musica e danze intorno al fuoco a seguire. Esperienza consigliata!

The camel ride through the dunes was an unforgettable experience, and the desert camp was comfortable and beautifully set up. We enjoyed a traditional dinner, and the stargazing at night was incredible. The guides were friendly and made us feel at home. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
