The experience includes round-trip transport in a private vehicle (luxury car, minivan, or minibus) with pick-up and drop-off. Depending on the chosen option, you can enjoy a traditional local lunch, including Koshary (a dish made of rice, lentils, pasta, chickpeas, onions, and tomato), and a camel ride across the desert.
