There are no words to describe how magical this 2 day tour was, the sunset, the sunrise, the colors, the sensations that you get from being there, how insignificant you feel in the middle of the desert with so much beauty, seeing more stars than you thought existed. It is an experience that marks in the depths of your soul, our guide driver, Hamid, has been very kind and had explained everything very well. The night in the desert was incredible. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
