Desert Safari
Another fun thing we did with my parents when they came to visit was a desert safari. Sure, these are fairly staged experiences, but so are more “cultural” experiences wherever you go. We got to drive out in the desert, hold a falcon, see the falcon “hunt,” go dune-bashing in a 4×4, and watch Saluki hunting dogs chase a rabbit all before enjoying an Arabic bbq under the stars.

Vic, this feels like a ridiculous thing to say, but I actually think you make that camel look kind of small!
