“Overall, we are very happy to have had the opportunity to see the beautiful sunset and sunrise, as well as the incredibly starry sky over the desert. An unforgettable experience! My daughter and I had a personal guide and driver, Mohamed, who took care of our comfort throughout our stay in an unobtrusive but attentive manner. I recommend a night safari with Arabian Travel Service (and especially with Mohammed Al Mahdali).”
