It was one of the most beautiful adventures, going to see the sunset and sleeping in the desert and then waking up to see the sunrise over the dunes. The lost city of Ubar is beautiful to see as it is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Merci beaucoup, we thank you for your kind review and are very happy you've enjoyed the night in the desert. Hopefully you come again soon
