“Beautiful sunset experience - We went to the desert with Clifton tours. Our extremely lovely driver picked us up from the hotel early… On arrival at the ‘Bedouin Oasis’ camp we received coffee and soft drinks. We had complementary camel rides… Then we proceeded to watch the sunset for more than an hour. It was absolutely magical!” - Reviewed at 2019-06-08
