The desert as it used to be

After dinner at the camp, your Bedouin guide drives you by 4×4 into the middle of the desert, where there is no light left at all. In the deep dark, you light the fire and make the tea yourselves, the way the Bedouin did in the old days.

For an hour and a half, there is only the crackle of the fire, the smell of sage tea and an immense sky. A total immersion in Bedouin culture, alone, as a couple, with your family or with friends.
