Things To Do: Desert Jeep Safari
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • You are picked up in a 4WD vehicle and taken to the sand dunes where you are taken on a hair raising ride complete with wheel spins and turns! There are photo stops to admire the sunset before you are driven to the desert camp for a buffet meal, complete with belly dancer, camel rides and henna tattoo painting. It was great fun!

There is a video in the entrance showing how the ice bar is made.
