The tour was fantastic. Everyone was very attentive and the camel ride was led by a really friendly guide. The whole staff was welcoming and made us feel at home. In our tent, a Nepalese man named Druba took great care of us and was amazing. The food was well prepared and everything was spotless. The women’s bathroom was cleaned all the time, so even in the middle of the desert the floor was never dirty or sandy. It was definitely worth it, especially for families. My six year old son absolutely loved it.

Great guide who made sure the tour matched what I wanted. Since I wasn’t up for the bumpy dune rides, this was perfect. The dinner was excellent and actually quite generous. If you want to watch the stars, I’d recommend going during a cooler time of year because the weather can get pretty hot.
