Our Client Experience With Desert Crescent – Al Faya Desert Safari
One traveler recently shared their experience with Desert Crescent during their Al Faya desert tour:
“The moment we entered the Al Faya red dunes, everything felt surreal—the silence, the views, the huge dunes glowing under the sun. Our guide from Desert Crescent was fantastic; he took us on the most thrilling dune bashing ride and showed us hidden photography spots that we would never have found ourselves. The camp at night was peaceful, the dinner was delicious, and the stargazing was honestly the best part. It felt like we were far away from the world. A perfect desert adventure.”
