Your exciting journey starts across the desert taking in the sights during a thrilling dune drive to stop at a camel farm.
Continue across the desert and watch the beautiful sunset before reaching the campsite where you will have the opportunity to participate in activities such as camel riding, sand boarding and try out a henna design on your hands or feet.
Having worked up an appetite, sit down to a delicious barbeque dinner, followed by a chance to try out a shisha - the famous Arabic water pipe. The evening entertainment includes a belly dancer performing her show around the campfire by starlight. Sleep in the desert beneath the star studded sky in tents enjoying the unusual surroundings.
A light breakfast will be served before your return to the ship.
