our guide Elena was brilliant and sandboarding down the tallest dune was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar desert trip we tried in Athens.

our guide Mateo was brilliant and the bbq with grilled kebabs after dark was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and camel ride plus a full bbq, and first thing in the morning. Would book again no question, def recommend
