A beautiful desert sunset stop is also included and then head out to the Bedouin Camp. You are greeted with a traditional cup of Arabic coffee and you will have the opportunity to try riding a camel before it is time to settle down for your barbeque dinner prepared on open fires in front of you. Later on in the evening a bellydancer will enchant you with her dances, a truly magical night
