Options range from traditional nomadic tents to luxury bivouacs with private bathrooms—confirm your preferred level when booking.
Children can join, but check with the operator about infant seats and camel suitability; long drives may be tiring for very young kids.
Pay for the tour in advance as instructed; tipping local guides and camp staff is appreciated—small cash tips at each service point are common.
