Hamed's stories made the long, approx. 200 km journey through a breathtaking semi-desert, which becomes boring after a while, very enjoyable. We learned everything about the everyday life of the countryside, its diversity, and its wildlife. Hamed did his best to make this boring phase enjoyable, and he succeeded. The "Lost City", the ruins of Ubar on the edge of the desert, had a great impact on us. And the desert was simply stunning. The experience was only spoiled by the fact that there were a lot of other people besides us, and many drivers had fun driving up the dunes with a heavy engine, which caused a lot of noise. However, when the sun went down, these loud drivers disappeared, and then we could fully enjoy the incomparably terrifying world of the desert. Hamed made the trip even more unforgettable with a tea party. Sitting on top of the dune, enjoying the invigorating, cool night breeze, with a cup of hot red tea in hand, watching the stars come to the fore, the half day spent with Hamed became a truly life-changing experience. On the way home, we were able to enjoy the starry night sky, never seen in Europe, through the semi-desert landscape. I can only recommend Hamed to anyone looking for a desert safari that feels like traveling with an old local friend.
