    The host, Yusuf, was extremely kind. This place is actually a departure point to the desert camp (this is not explained very well in the ad), and to go there with camels and all, we paid extra. The adventure he offered was extremely well...

    The staff were so courteous. They also helped me arrange a desert tour and helped me store my luggage in the room during that time. I was grateful that they prepared light meals on the day of departure. Thank you.
