Dubai sunrise desert camel trek with breakfast. 4 hours, small group, private 4x4 pickup, camel ride, dune bashing, and sunrise photos.

“Tijdens mijn verblijf in Dubai boekte ik deze activiteit. De communicatie vooraf verliep wat traag; het duurde even voordat ik de bevestiging kreeg over de ophaaltijd. Uiteindelijk werd ik wel ruim op tijd opgehaald door een vriendelijke chauffeur die mij naar de woestijn bracht. Onderweg hoorde ik dat ik de enige deelnemer was die ochtend.
