About this experience
What makes this experience special is not only the tour, but the connection with the place and its people.
I am Medo, your local guide in Dajla, and I love to show the real beauty of my land. On this private 4x4 tour, I’ll take you beyond the usual paths to discover what few know: the White Dune, where the ocean hugs the desert; the Imlili Oasis, a natural miracle with fish in the middle of the desert; and Puerto Rico Beach, a hidden corner of turquoise waters and golden sand.
Along the way I will share stories, local music and my favorite photo spots. We will also stop at the natural hot springs, famous for their healing properties, and end the day with a local meal of fresh seafood.
I want you not only to see Dajla, but to feel it: the silence of the desert, the ocean breeze and the warmth of its people. Each route is lovingly made for you to live an authentic adventure and unforgettable memories
