Escursione da non perdere, esperienza indimenticabile.
Non è facile descrivere le sensazioni che si provano nel deserto; si possono usare parole come silenzio, pace, stelle, tramonti ed albe mozzafiato, ma vi assicuro è molto di più e bisogna provarlo per comprenderlo. A rendere più incantevole l’escursione è stata l’ottima cena Omanita e il fuoco acceso in una cornice impagabile. La nostra guida Hamid ci ha consentito di vivere un’esperienza fantastica, dotato di una preparazione eccellente su tutti i fronti: è stato puntuale, brillante, simpatico e disponibile a soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza. La consiglierei a chiunque… Grazie ancora Hamid.
