Overview
Your journey starts in the morning, once you have reached our private desert property. You will start your cultural journey traversing the desert on a camel, traditionally called the 'ship of the desert'. Arriving at your destination: a nomadic Bedouin camp, you will experience an insight into authentic Bedouin life.
A rustic and culturally-immersive experience, this tour is perfect for adventurers looking for a hands-on experience and glimpse into life in the desert. Discover the desert in a vintage 1950 open-top Land Rover before returning back to your hotel.
