Ayshna Mukherjee –
This trip should be done as it helps one to mix and get to interact very closely with the Bedouins. Hence I will highly recommend the same. The other best part is in the special oriental dinner that you can intake sitting in the tent along with the Bedouins. This is an extensive bike ride and that is why it has been named the Mega Safari. But for me, on this trip, having to spend time with the Bedouins and having dinner with them will always remain etched in my memories. Then once your dinner is done, you will be escorted back to the bike base and from there back to your hotel. Must book.
