The camel ride was quite exciting and different. Watching the sunset and then going for the dinner and other activities was quite an experience. The tastes of the different foods was great, especially the camel milk!

Platinum Heritage does an excellent job with this package. They really thought of everything and every person we dealt was committed to customer service. My son and I loved having Stephan as our guide! Excellent communication with pickup and really engaging and informative prior to arrival. He made sure we knew what was happening each step of the way. Really well run service - excellent communication from start to finish, pickup vehicle was very clean and comfortable, camels are well cared for and healthy looking, 45 minute camel ride, food was plentiful and delicious, entertainment (falcon demo, live music, henna tattoo artist, shesha lounge so fun). Didn't feel crowded or rushed. As an older traveler, I appreciated the portable step used to get on the camel and restrooms at the start and also at the camp in the desert. Well done Platinum Heritage and thank you Stephan!mattaP1816RL
