Begin your adventure with a dune smash in a 4WD vehicle, followed by sandboarding, and an ATV ride. The next stop is the Bedouin-inspired Al Khayma camp, where you may ride a camel, engage with a falcon, and participate in other traditional activities before having a barbeque buffet meal and watching live entertainment under the stars. It is exhilarating to watch the diversity of activities that took place in the span of a single night, from dune bashing to getting henna tattoos; from watching the sunset over the desert to dining beneath the night sky.

Rides in Hot-Air Balloons Offered in Luxor, Egypt

Rotorua, New Zealand’s Ziplining Forest Adventure is Home to the World’s First Canopy Tour
The luxuriant natural forest of Rotorua has been here for generations. This three-hour excursion combines having fun, learning something new, and nurturing the environment. You will get a fresh perspective on the natural woods of New Zealand as you soar through zip lines and traverse swing bridges.
The scenery in New Zealand is breathtaking! In addition, we believe that the experience of walking on swing bridges, particularly rope swing bridges, especially when there is wind present, can be more terrifying than ziplining.
