The overnight desert trip was absolutely unforgettable! Our guide, Abdallah, was fantastic—so warm and attentive, and he made sure everything ran smoothly. The campsite was cozy, the food was great, and relaxing beneath the stars was an experience we’ll always treasure. It had the perfect mix of thrill and calm. If I could change one thing, I’d skip the sulfur water stop it wasn’t particularly exciting. I’d rather have spent that time soaking in more of the desert. Also, I recommend bringing extra drinking water for brushing your teeth and some plastic bags, just in case nature calls. Sadly, not everyone cleans up after themselves, which can be upsetting. I really think the tour organizers should let people know about this and offer proper waste disposal bags.
