Overnight Desert Safari
The overnight safari is an extension of the evening desert safari. All the activities here are the same, but the main difference is here you can stay and spend the night and enjoy the desert camping experience. After the BBQ dinner ends, you can return to the campsite and start preparing to spend the night in the desert.
The preparation includes preparing your camping beds and blankets. Some people also like to enjoy camp bonfires and stargazing with their group of friends and family members. After sleeping for the night, you can wake up the next day to a beautiful sunrise and eat breakfast before departing back to the city.
