“It was a great experience and worth the money. The jeep trip is very extreme so prepare yourself. For me as a man it was ok. For my wife it was very scary. They drive with + 100 kmh in the desert. You have to sit in the back without seatbelts. For me it was cool but very dangerous. The stars part was very beatiful and the guide Adam was amazing. The horse ride was also very cool, but prepare yourself for the sun in the desert. Its more hot than in your resort.”
