Spend the evening in a scene of Dubai as it was in the 1950s. Soak up the culture with fascinating activities like henna painting, live Arabic bread and coffee making and traditional performances, in our traditionally built Bedouin camp.
You will spend the night sleeping in a Nawar, a Bedouin-style bed housed within a tent, beneath a quilt of stars. But before you hit the hay you will share a BBQ feast while you watch Tanoura dancing and belly dancing displays.
We finally decided to go to Egypt!Given that we were planning to go just as a girl, we hoped to find a serious agency that would supervise us and support us throughout our stay.By searching on forums we found the Base-Trips agency, a local, serious and very often recommended agency, managed by Amro.We therefore, via their website, requested an “all inclusive” quote in which we listed the places and remains that we wanted to visit, our dates, our budget and other small points. Amro was very responsive (as it was throughout our stay), and put together a trip that perfectly met our expectations and our budget. He really took care of all the formalities, visits, internal flights, declarations etc. We just had to let ourselves be guided and appreciate the beauty of the sites of Egyptian history.We wanted to split our trip into two parts:First “discovery” week and second “rest” week all inclusive.So we started our trip in Cairo where we were supervised by a superb guide: Ali, who accompanied us throughout our stay in the North, and we also had a private driver, Youssef.
Opening hours: 24 hours, daily, although sporting and dining venues at the beach have varying timings.

The latest addition to the city's thriving sports and adventure activities scene, Deep Dive Dubai is the place to be for all aqua enthusiasts. The recreational centre's 60.02m-deep pool is certified by Guinness World Records as the world's deepest swimming pool for diving.
Good morning,My husband and I are returning from an oito-day tour in Egypt.We hesitated between 2 website local agencies, and it was finally towards Terra Trips (recommended on the backpacker's blog) that we left. Amro, the director of the agency, is the ideal contact to very easily organize a tailor-made trip to Egypt. And we were not disappointed, our individual tour went perfectly. Being picked up by the agency as soon as we got off the plane allowed us to save a lot of time obtaining the visa and going through customs. We are immediately put at ease by Amro’s friendliness and desire to do well. The stay will be just perfect: From Cairo to Abu Simbel, we fell under the spell of the Nile: dozens of temples in an incredible state of conservation, the great thrill when we are alone visiting a tomb discovered a few weeks before (Indiana atmosphere Jones!), the discovery of the pyramids on the back of a camel (also the best way to take the most beautiful photos of the pyramids), the incredible beauty of the tombs of the Valley of the Kings (wow guaranteed!), The little-known but superb Valley of the queens that we were the only ones to visit, the temple of Luxor at night (magical), The “Agatha Christian” charm of the cruise on the Nile (I know, it’s not said but I couldn’t find a better term) , without forgetting the fabulous temple of Abu Simbel (wow too!
The dune bashing aspect of the safari will last around quarenta minutes after which you can enjoy a short camel ride and a spot of sandboarding.
This Dubai desert safari is essentially a condensed version of the first tour on my list. The shorter time span (and subsequent reduction in price) means that this one is ideal for those on a shorter stay in Dubai or who are on a tighter budget.
The following tours are preoccupied with showcasing the heritage, culture, nature, and wildlife of the desert and sustainable tourism. None of these excursions include dune bashing but they all offer something remarkable in its place.
Then you might want to take a look at all our other travel guides about the United Arab Emirates. I promise, they are just as awesome as this article was!
Built along the historic Dubai Creek and designed in the shape of a traditional Islamic lectern, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library is the latest cultural hotspot to open its doors in the city. A landmark unique to Dubai, the library is the largest in the region and representative of its collective cultural wisdom, educational milestones and continued forays in research and academia.
Another thing to keep in mind: Ramadan takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar but the exact dates change every year (usually it falls between March and May).
Guests and passengers just need to follow the tour operator’s safety instructions and camel riding guide to stay safe. And again, you just need to maintain your balance and improve your flexibility during the ride.
