What a wild ride! This tour was an absolute hoot, starting with the guides who were so accommodating they practically tucked us in and read us bedtime bike manuals. The bikes had automatic gearboxes, which made driving them as easy as saying, “Zoom, zoom!” The brakes? Oh, they were top-notch—though remember, folks, rear brake first unless you fancy an impromptu desert gymnastics routine. And because stopping in the desert takes double the usual distance, keep a safe gap unless you want to make some very close friends.
The camel ride? Outstanding. I think my camel and I had a real bond—until he gave me that “you’re heavier than I signed up for” side-eye. The show was dazzling, and the food? Pretty nice! Pro tip: Wash your hands before eating (or your camel will judge you) and stick to what your tummy knows, unless you’re eager for an adventure after the adventure.
Now, full disclosure: the wait between activities was a bit of a snooze-fest. After eating, I was ready to head back, but nope—had to stay for the final show. (Spoiler: It was worth it!) If you like a little extra spice in your trip, sneak a couple of bottles of booze in your bag because there’s none for sale. Just don’t overdo it—drunk camel rides are probably frowned upon.
Oh, and be a champ and tip your guide—they might just hook you up with a free taxi and save you from battling the post-show stampede. All in all, 10/10 would skid in the sand and bond with a camel again!
