The child policy applies on every tour: children up to 3 go free. On the Morning safari, a child under 3 takes one of the 7 seats in the car, and the price per car does not change.

What to wear

  • Light, loose clothes and closed shoes that can handle sand.
  • Sunglasses and a scarf for the wind and the dust.
  • A light jacket for winter evenings, which are cooler in the desert.
