White Desert 2 Days and 1 Night Camping
The experience
A short escape into silence. In two days you see the Black Desert, the Crystal Mountain, the dunes of Agabat and the famous white rock formations of the Old and New White Desert. As the sun sets the chalk glows pink, the Bedouin team lights a fire, dinner is cooked on the coals and you fall asleep in a tent under the Milky Way.
