About this experience
Drive by air-conditioned vehicle from your hotel to the Bedouin tent “Ababda camp” at Padi valley. Once we arrive at the Bedouin tent, we will spend 30 minutes enjoying a camel ride. After the camel ride, you will have chance to rest at the Bedouin tent.
You will receive a welcome drink of “Bedouin tea” and hear some information about Bedouins and their simple life. Whilst at the camp, you can watch how the Bedouins make their bread over a campfire, with the opportunity to make a loaf of your own! Later in the day, you will climb a small cliff to watch the stunning view of the Sunset. You will then enjoy a delicious freshly prepared Bedouin dinner of “Vegetable salad, Tahini Salad, Rice, Potato with Tomato, Chicken and Kofta”. As it will now be dark, it’ll be time to explore the sky with the help of a professional astronomer. One of the experts will inform you about the sky, stars and constellations, and then you will have the chance to view through big professional telescopes.
