After a safety briefing, ascend peacefully up to 4,000 feet and take in panoramic views of the desert landscape.
Upon landing, continue with a desert safari driven by an experienced guide. Explore the dunes on a quad bike and ride a camel, then relax with a gourmet buffet breakfast at a traditional Bedouin camp.
