Haggling is encouraged in the market. We will also explore the countless designs of gold and diamond jewelry in the Gold Souk, home to the world’s largest gold ring, weighing 64 kilograms.

The aroma of freshly grilled lamb kebabs, the crackling campfires, the scent of traditional water pipes, and the soothing sounds of Arabic music will make for an authentic and unforgettable Bedouin night. While you enjoy dinner, a belly dancer will showcase the ancient art of belly dancing, along with many other performances. You can also try sandboarding, camel riding, and henna tattoos.
