“Quads and camels. - Fantastic 3 hours with Hassan (quad bike) and Imad (camels). Quad biking was fab. A mixture of forest, dunes, and beach with our guide paying particular attention to us all being safe and included. The camels were a slower pace to end our 3 hours. Imad took my camera and the photos and videos he produced are of outstanding quality.” (Reviewed on 2024-08-18)
