The best way to discover the desert is by desert safari. With four wheel drive cars you pull the desert in, often preceded by the ability to drive a quad or you can sit on a camel. During the desert safari rips the driver over the desert dunes. This is a sensational experience you won’t forget soon. If you are going to do the evening safari it’s a normally activity to look into the sunset, very beautiful!! Then there is usually a dinner at a desert campsite where a belly dancer occurs and there is a water pipe that can be smoked.
