Yesterday
We did the sunset camel ride as a family of four—my teens were a bit nervous at first but our guide, Yassine (I think?), was sooo patient. The camels are HUGE but super chill, and the route through the palms is just magical at dusk. I got a ton of pics (no worries about taking photos here, yay!) and the staff even snapped a group shot for us. My son still talks about 'his' camel, Aicha. If you’re worried about comfort, they give you little scarves for the sand. Heads up: the mounting/dismount is a lil wobbly (hold on tight!). Would 100% do again.

Booked this solo and was a bit worried about feeling awkward, but the group was friendly and the guide kept chatting with everyone. The camels looked well cared for (that’s impt for me). Only downside, we had to wait like 25 min for a late couple before starting. Otherwise, the vibe was super chill and the desert at sunset is STUNNING.

Literally the highlight of our trip. My partner and I did the sunset ride, and wow, the colors were INSANE—like the whole sky just on fire. The staff even brought us mint tea at the end. Camels are surprisingly comfy...though my knees did get a bit stiff after an hour. Bring water, it gets dry. Totally recommend for couples.
Yesterday
Great outing for families. Our kids (ages 8 and 12) loved meeting the camels. The guide kept checking if everyone was okay, and Ahmed the driver was funny and told us some history about the area. Weather was perfect—no wind, not too hot. Only downside, a bit of a wait to start.
Yesterday
I went with a group of friends and we couldn't stop laughing at how dramatic the camels looked. Honestly, they were the real stars! Ride was smooth, guide was attentive, and the stop for tea under the palms was a nice touch. If you like animals and pretty views, you’ll love it.
