Our third time out in the desert was two weeks later on November 28th with an organized tour group. This time we went with a group of twenty people. We knew most of them, a collection of friends and coworkers. The larger the group the better the price! We used Cyclone Tours and they were great. They pick you up at one central location in town and drive you out to the desert in four wheel drive that are equipped for some serious Dune Bashing, roll bars and all. It's an entire organized evening lasting about 8 hours including travel time.
Our first peek of the "camp". They are even equipped for overnights if you so choose!
This is where dinner would be served and there were little area all setup for different activities.
First off, camel rides for all who desired.
The ride was nice, going up and down was another story!!
We were laughing so hard!!
These particular camels were so laid back!
Dune bashing was crazy!!! You had to hold on for dear life!
We stopped and saw were they care for the camels.
Cute photo op!
Back to "camp"!
Some of the guys did some "sandboarding" before dinner.
The ride done was a blast but first you had to hold a rope and climb a very steep dune!
Dress up time! Yes that is me under there!
Henna painting on my one hand! It's a deep brownish red and lasts about 7-9 days.
After dinner we had a very tastefully dressed belly dancers and then many of us joined in dancing to Arabic music. Then they turned the camps lights off and we could just lay on the cushions and watch the starry night sky. It was beautiful! It was a great evening!!
