Some information
While most people arriving at the Resthouse take the first option, we always prefer to offer the second one to our clients. It is certainly a bit more expensive, since the camel for the guide has to be taken into account, but in our experience there is no comparison in the enjoyment felt. With a mounted guide, you go faster, you therefore cover much more ground, and since the basic technique of camel riding is easily and quickly mastered, within an hour or so you will be guiding your own camel and will feel much more independent. Your guide will only keep the leading rein if you are unhappy about being in charge. A camel is not like a horse and few people have any problem with one. Although they look decidedly unfriendly, in fact this is deceptive, and most people come quickly to appreciate their qualities. They make little noise and you will be able to experience the complete silence of the desert. We offer camel trips lasting from one to five days, and also trips combined with either jeep riding or hiking - and with both. Not all of the itineraries are given here for the longer trips, we can supply them at your request. No special equipment or dress is necessary. As always you will need a shoulder bag or rucksack, and please, ladies - you will be more comfortable in trousers! Any kind of shoes or sandals will be fine. The prices take account of the mounted guide in every case: if you prefer to have a guide on foot with you, the itinerary as well as the price will be altered so please let us know in advance. **** |
