This adventure is not just about the thrill; it’s a journey into the heart of Bedouin culture, offering a glimpse into their way of life.

“Great experience! The instructors were very nice and took us aside so that we could do a personalized quad turn at full speed because we had mastered the machine well, instead of following a whole group at low speed. Too short a buggy trip but a very long quad ride with a bonus sunset and a pretty little Bedouin village. Meal and pleasant evening. I recommend!” - Reviewed on 2024-03-14
