Culture lovers wanting a more traditional and heritage-oriented experience.
-
Families, couples, or small groups who want comfort and elegance more than thrill rides.
-
Nature and wildlife enthusiasts (those who enjoy spotting wildlife, quiet desert landscapes, sunset & star view).
-
Guests who appreciate good food, ambient settings, and meaningful experiences rather than mass-tourism.
If you are more into high-adrenaline adventure (lots of dune-bashing, quad biking, etc.), you may want a package variant or explore “adventure safari” options instead. 57 Heritage Safari does offer some adventure add-ons.

Dress in light, breathable clothing, but bring something warmer for evening (desert nights can be cool).
-

-
Inform the operator of dietary restrictions in advance.

Arrive punctually for pickup to avoid delays
