Quad Biking in the Desert
Once at the quad park, you’ll get a brief safety demonstration and instructions from your instructor. For many, this is the highlight.

Camel Ride and Photography
Next, a camel ride offers a gentle, scenic journey. Many reviewers said it’s more of a photo opportunity than a long trek—lasting around 20 seconds for some—but still fun. As Emma_P pointed out, her kids loved it, and she appreciated the chance to take pictures atop these gentle giants.

Stargazing with Telescopes
After dinner, the experience shifts to the star gazing segment. Guides escort guests to the telescopes, with an English-speaking astronomer explaining what you can see, such as Saturn, Mars, star constellations, and even craters on the Moon.
Reviewers like Erik_A describe this as “especially awesome,” with the craters on the Moon, Saturn’s rings, and Jupiter’s moons being visible through the telescopes.
