“Tijdens mijn verblijf in Dubai boekte ik deze activiteit. De communicatie vooraf verliep wat traag; het duurde even voordat ik de bevestiging kreeg over de ophaaltijd. Uiteindelijk werd ik wel ruim op tijd opgehaald door een vriendelijke chauffeur die mij naar de woestijn bracht. Onderweg hoorde ik dat ik de enige deelnemer was die ochtend. Dat gaf de ervaring een andere, wat aparte sfeer. Aangekomen in de woestijn stond een kameel met begeleider klaar. Je kunt je voorstellen dat het anders aanvoelt om daar alleen te staan in plaats van met een kleine groep. De wandeling met de kameel is vrij kort. Eerlijk gezegd miste ik een beetje het échte…”
