More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The cart bumps across low dunes as the sun leans toward the horizon, turning sand into a warm, grainy light that seems to slide beneath the camel’s hooves. In the slow, rhythmic sway of a traditional camel cart you cross open dunes, pass small gypsy homes, and pause on a ridge for a tea that tastes like the desert — strong and sweet.
