    There are morning, afternoon and sunset departures, and you pick one in your request. Pickup is from hotels in Naama Bay, Sharks Bay, Nabq, Hadaba and the Old Market, and our team confirms the exact time and meeting point after accepting.

  4. 04What should I wear for the desert?

    A full refund applies if you cancel at least 3 days ahead. Cancel between 3 days and 24 hours before and we refund half. Closer than 24 hours, or a no-show, is not refundable. Tell us as early as you can, because the refund depends on how many days remain before the trip starts.

    No, it is shared. You ride in a convoy with up to 30 guests behind a guide who sets the pace, and the camel ride and tea are shared as well. Two riders can sit on one bike on request, which many parents choose for young children.
