Important to Check
It’s important to check, when you’re booking a place on a camel
safari, what is included in the price you’re paying. Find out what
arrangements are being made for accommodation, food and drink and other
essentials. In some camel safaris, mineral water is not a part of the
package, in which case you’ll have to bring your own. Find out for sure
what you’re getting before you book.
When you start for a camel safari, be aware of few things. Remember that
you’re travelling through the desert - it’s dry, and if you’re
not careful, you could get dehydrated. Drink plenty of water- at least 2 to
4 litres a day- and keep yourself well covered, to prevent sunburn. Wear a
sunhat and sun glasses and apply suntan lotion on your body, if you don’t
want your skin to start peeling.
