A nice trip in the desert - We did the “sunset over the dunes” trip in a group of 9 people with two children, on two comfortable and spacious 4x4 off-road vehicles. The tour took place in several stages: incense tree, black camel farm, Ubar site (UNESCO cultural heritage) and coffee break, as well as of course the desert dunes. Arriving on the dunes, about a couple of hours before sunset, we had time to take pictures, explore the place and snowboard down the dunes. Shortly before sunset, the guides prepared a small refreshment with carpets, pillows, food and drinks (juice, coffee, water, sandwiches and fruit). Before returning, we stopped to admire the stars. The tour was overall very nice and fun, our guide spoke very good English and provided us with a lot of information and curiosities.
