Overview

We do not provide transportation in overcrowded minibusses that usually do not have air conditioning; instead, we provide comfortable travel in a shared air-conditioned four-wheel-drive vehicle for parties as small as six people.
We offer you a driver who speaks English and can answer any of your requests and questions.
We don't push people out to stores to buy things, and we don't force you to share a room with someone you just met in the group only to save money.
You will have lots of time in the desert, providing you with plenty of opportunities to see the sunrise and sunset.
